 The Top 12 girls have a lot to live up to after the boys' performances Tuesday night. The Top 12 Boys produced some stunning, chilling performances, a couple just-okay ones and one glorious misstep. A few favorites faltered. Scotty McCreery violated us with his eyebrows. And other favorites earned their keep. Based on the set list alone, I haven't been terribly excited about this episode. It seems a little heavy on the ballads -- lots of songs about spreading one's wings, looking inside your heart, achieving what you never thought you could, etc. Not enough sass or cougin' for my taste. We'll see if the girls can earn their keep!

Ryan promises us that the Top 12 ladies will be "fighting for your affection," which is a weird thing to say, especially because he said nothing of the kind about the boys. But that's just how Ryan rolls. I am obsessed with Jennifer's outfit tonight, and it is a travesty that we will only get to see the top half of it for most of the show. Those boots! She's rocking some luxurious hair, too.
Before making a surprisingly self-aware short joke, Ryan confirms that there will be five guys and five girls "fast-tracked" to the top however-many. Boo, gender parity. Randy asks us to ask ourselves, "Is this the American Idol?" when we're voting. I always do, Randy. Steven Tyler is looking especially like a creation from Jim Henson's Creature Shop tonight.
 
 I'm gathering from the comments that there aren't a lot of Rachel Zevita fans out there, so you will be happy to know that she is dressed like she's auditioning for a role in "Hocus Pocus" tonight.

Ta-Tynisa Wilson is up first, singing Rihanna's "Only Girl (in the World)" -- an interesting choice. She's definitely working the stage, but the vocal performance isn't particularly mind-blowing. The arrangement wasn't very energizing, either, and her long note was flatter than Louisiana. "It's good that it's over now, isn't it?" Jennifer said. Yes, it is. Randy said it was "just OK" and that he didn't get it, and then Jennifer immediately negated it by saying, "Good job, baby!" Like Randy isn't entitled to his opinion!

Naima Adedapo gets her very first product placement. She designed her dress herself and chose "Summertime" because of her mother. I'm really wishing their clip packages were just a little longer, but I'll regret saying that when they start doing Ford commercials. She's singing it up-tempo and lounge-y. It's good. I don't have any problems with it except that we're not totally riveted. Oh, she killed that last note, though, and that could save her. Jennifer loved it, of course. Randy thought it was a little lounge-y and liked the second half better than the first half. Steven likes that she's bringing "a new old-timey thing."
 Let's get to know Kendra Chantelle. We don't know her very well yet, and she's singing Xtina's "Impossible" to help us. Work those leather pants, girl! In case you didn't know, leather is in for Season 10. I'm not a big fan of this song, but Kendra is singing it well -- again, good but not life-changing. Randy's feedback made absolutely no sense. I think he liked it? He noted that Christina Aguilera sang it and "did her thing." Whatever that means.

Rachel Zevita and her witch cape are up next. I'm just glad she didn't put on twenty pounds of accessories before she got on stage this time. Homegirl loves hats. Off goes the witch cape!
 I love her dress, but the vocals are a little weak, mixed with shout-y. Not her best song choice, I think. If you close your eyes and put a beer in your hand, you may feel like you're at a karaoke bar. Randy said, "It wasn't great. It wasn't good. It just didn't work." Randy Jackson is my favorite judge. My husband, my other favorite judge (Don't tell Randy), said it seemed "forced and weird."


Karen Rodriguez is singing "Hero," and I just completely disagree with anyone singing this song unless they are in a 6th-grade talent show. She's even doing the song in two languages, which is a big hit in talent shows. I liked her high notes at the end, but it was sadly unremarkable (to me, Jennifer said, "Wow!"). Jennifer got goose bumps in English and Spanish. Randy liked it too, though, so I must just be feeling cynical watching this episode. I couldn't get over the song choice to hear how well she sang.

Have you voted for the ending of Jennifer Lopez's music video yet? Yeah, me neither. Unless the ending involves someone getting eaten by a dinosaur. I'd vote for that one.

Lauren Turner, my personal favorite, sings next. This is the first song choice that makes me happy and not nervous. I wish they would stop cutting over to Jennifer for reaction shots. She likes everything. Lauren is a powerhouse, and I like the way she sounds. I like my lady vocals a little scratchy. Randy gave her a "That's how you do it." He's excited by her whole bluesy flavor. Steven Tyler gave the first real, musical critique of the episode, talking about the "top floor" and how it was a complete sentence.


Ryan made another short joke! He's on a roll! A dinner roll ... to stand on or ride to work or something. Because he's short ... Nevermind. Forget I said anything.

Ashthon Jones is wearing a denim corset to sing "Love All Over Me." This is another song choice I feel lukewarm about. I actually like the way she sounds, though. R&B isn't a genre I know a whole lot about, but I'm buying Ashthon's performance. I even liked how she dramatically looked away from the microphone at the end of her song. Randy wasn't feeling the song, but he likes Ashthon. Randy and I are working the Vulcan mind meld tonight. The judges liked it, and Ashthon won me over with her J.Lo impression.
 Oh god, Julie Zorrilla is singing "Breakaway" by "American Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson. She looks like she's going to prom. Also, she should open her eyes every once in a while, just for safety reasons. It was truly average, and not at all what we expected from J.Lo's pick to win it. Jennifer asked Julie, "Do you really wanna break away?" Think about that next time, Julie. It didn't quite work for Randy, either.
 Thia Megia, one of the youngest contestants, starts a cappella. She's singing that song from "Fame," and I approve of her choice to go minimal. Thia is effortless, and she sounds awesome. I thought maybe I was just in a bad mood, but Thia's sounding good made me realize that maybe the performances just hadn't been up to the standard the guys set until now. Also, her dress was very pretty. Steven Tyler said her pitch is so perfect, it doesn't matter what song she sings. Is that a compliment? Randy said, once again, that "this is what it's about." I'm getting mixed messages from Randy on what it is, in fact, about.
I worry that people might already be getting tired of Lauren Alaina. That being said, I like her voice. It sounds like the better version of what Haley Reinhart is trying to do. I also like her song choice because it was fun and exciting and not something they would sing in a beauty pageant. The judges gush over her, of course.

 Please be good, Haley Reinhart. We'd ask her to sing something that's not "Fallin'" for once, but that's asking a lot of an "Idol" contestant. Haley is a brunette now, which confused me initially. I've liked Haley a lot in the past, but this performance is like a child beauty queen's best imitation of Jacob Lusk. It's a little nasally and over-growly and over-embellished for me. Randy said it didn't do anything for Haley, and that it was a little karaoke. And Haley pretended to gag. I don't know what that was, but it made me like her even less. I'm feeling salty!
 Randy calls Lauren "Kelly Clarkson meets Carrie Underwood," and I totally agree. I think I've even said that. Get out of my head, Randy! Lauren calls Ryan Seacrest "Peaches." I'm taking that and running with it.
Pia Toscano is closing out the night with another pageant song, "I'll Stand By You," complete with pageant gestures. She looks gorgeous, though. I think a lot of people have counted Pia out, but she's bringing it harder than a pageant queen. At the end, she proved why she's here and why Julie Zorrilla is pretty much the poor man's Pia Toscano. Then they cut to Ashthon Jones, who was like, "Uh oh."
Randy told Pia, "That's how you do it!" So, update your instruction manual. Ryan Seacrest asked, "How do you pick your favorite?" in a weird voice, and it ended the night on a sour note. Now we can look back on the performances and determine who will move on to the interview round.
Who were your favorites? My husband is rooting for Haley because she "sang and danced the sluttiest." What a guy. Is it still a guy's season to win?


 
At Sunday night's Oscar ceremony Mandy Moore took the stage alongside her Tangled co-star Zachary Levi to perform "I See the Light," the sweet romantic duet that was nominated for Best Original Song but didn't win. A few years before that, another sweet romantic duet "Falling Slowly," from the movie Once, was performed on the Oscar stage and did wind up winning. These two facts don't have all that much to do with each other, but bizarrely enough, Moore has now signed on to star in a thriller called Falling Slowly, which is totally unrelated to the song and is instead a haunted house thriller.

Yeah, if I were Once stars Marketa Irglova and Glen Hansard, I'd be pretty annoyed too. According to Variety Moore and Rodrigo Santoro (Che, I Love You Phillip Morris) will co-star in the film, which will be the directorial debut of Buried writer Chris Sparling. It will be Moore's most significant on-screen role-- as in, not lending her voice to Tangled-- since the twin disastrous 2007 comedies Because I Said So and License to Wed; so long as Falling Slowly is even remotely good, this will most definitely be a step up.

"Love And Other Drugs" actress Anne Hathaway has motherhood on her mind?

Reportedly the 28 year old actress hopes to have a big family and naturally has to start early enough to create her large brood!

While on "Good Morning America" with her fellow Academy Award host James Franco, Anne revealed,

“I have no plans to get married currently,” Anne revealed, “but it’s weird, I am getting to be of an age where I’m starting to think about motherhood and, because I’d like to have a large family, I’m like, ‘I have to have kids soon’.

“I’m imagining within the next five years, I will be a mummy.”

I am sure that you all know them for some reason but didn't know that they were that rich. Here are Top 10 of them. 


Oprah Winfrey


Beyonce Knowles
James Cameron
 Lady Gaga
Tiger Woods
 Britney Spears
U2
Sandra Bullock
Johnny Depp
Madonna

1. Oprah Winfrey

Estimated earnings: $315 million
Top 10 Highest paid Hollywood Women.

Maonna 

Estimated earnings: $58 million










Just looking at photos side-by-side of these two women is a bit scary. It looks like the younger actress Megan Fox is desperately trying to resemble the older Angelina Jolie, although Fox has vehemently denied that she’s the “next” Jolie. Fox has given Jolie some backhanded compliments in the press. Jolie responded by blasting Fox when the comparisons to her were made. Allegedly, Jolie said, “Is she aiding in Africa or sitting in on U.N. conferences? Donating herself to something bigger than Hollywood? I’m not familiar with her work, is she an Oscar contender?” As both stars’ popularity rises and falls, it should be interesting to see how this catfight evolves.

10. Lily Allen vs. Courtney Love




 You can’t get more public than this one: Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck went at each other on the daytime talk show “The View.” What started out as a political discussion ended as a personal attack, with O’Donnell accusing Hasselbeck of not standing up for O’Donnell when other media outlets said she’s called the troops “terrorists.” O’Donnell called Hasselbeck a coward, while Hasselbeck told O’Donnell to defend her own “insinuations.” The feud never truly ended, as O’Donnell left the television show three weeks later. No love will ever be lost between these two.

8. Jenny McCarthy vs. Amanda Peet

 Here’s another pair of blondes who used to be BFFs but ended up falling out. It all started when Heather Locklear divorced guitarist Richie Sambora, and Locklear’s good friend Denise Richards almost immediately shacked up with him. Apparently Richards forgot the female “golden rule”: never date a friend’s ex, at least not without that friend’s express permission (and sometimes not even then). When confronted by Locklear, Richards reportedly told her that she “no longer exists” to her. Another friendship goes down the toilet over a man. How sad.
4. Britney Spears vs. Christina Aguilera
 Wait a minute….weren’t these two similarly talented (or perhaps lacking talent) young women friends? Yes, but Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton officially called their friendship quits in 2005, after production of their reality show “The Simple Life” was finished. Some say that Richie was jealous that Hilton was asked to host “Saturday Night Live” instead of her, and in retaliation, showed one of Hilton’s sex tapes to a group of their friends. Neither has publicly confirmed why the friendship was over, but recently the two were seen speaking to each other at a Beverly Hills party, so perhaps their feud is now kaput.
3. Heather Locklear vs. Denise Richards
 Joan Rivers started posting crude jokes on Twitter about Lindsay Lohan and she can’t seem to stop (one example: “Lindsay Lohan is so dumb. Her idea of being sworn in is cursing at the judge.”). Even though the girl was in jail and is now in rehab, Rivers’ jabs continue almost daily. Lohan’s ex-girlfriend Samantha Ronson has fought back on Lohan’s behalf, Tweeting, “Hey Joan Rivers. You have collagen older than Lindsay, pick on someone your own age — oh wait I guess people that old can’t hear.” I’m sure both parties know, however, that you can’t buy better publicity than this. It keeps both Rivers and Lohan under the media’s microscope, which, being celebrities, is probably something they both crave.
6. Jerry Seinfeld vs. Lady Gaga
 Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera both started as Mouseketeers on TV’s “The Mickey Mouse Club.” Then it was rumored that once Spears broke up with Justin Timberlake, Aguilera took up with him (which, as we all know, is taboo: see #3 above). Sources also said that Aguilera was upset that Spears’ TV kiss with Madonna got more attention than her own liplock with Ms. Ciccone. Aguilera continued to publicly trash Spears, especially after she married Kevin Federline, when Aguilera called Spears “trailer trash.” The war of words seems to have calmed down in recent years, maybe because these two young women are finally maturing? Nah.
5. Joan Rivers vs. Lindsay Lohan
 Ask any mom and they’ll tell you, things can get pretty heated between two moms when they attack each other’s parenting skills or childrearing methods. Jenny McCarthy is famous for campaigning against infant vaccinations, as she believes her son’s autism might have been caused by them. Amanda Peet has publicly supported early vaccinations. Peet has called parents who agree with McCarthy “parasites.” McCarthy responded that, if that’s true, she’s proud to be a parasite. Peet later apologized for using that term, but, as neither woman has changed her views on this controversial topic, the fight goes on.

9. Megan Fox vs. Angelina Jolie:

 Some of us who are mothers understand how hard the postpartum period can be. Postpartum depression is a real, true condition characterized by a chemical imbalance that can sometimes be relieved by antidepressants, among other therapies. Try telling that to Tom Cruise. He slammed Brooke Shields on the “Today” show in 2005 for her use of Paxil for postpartum depression, saying that she should have used vitamins instead. Shields wouldn’t take this lying down, however, and blasted back at Cruise in a well written New York Times op-ed piece. As she noted, Cruise is far from being a medical expert, and “comments like those made by Tom Cruise are a disservice to mothers everywhere.” She succeeded in making Cruise look like the ass he truly is.
2. Paris Hilton vs. Nicole Richie
 Jerry Seinfeld, who obviously loves New York, called Lady Gaga a “jerk” when she was filmed at both New York Yankees and New York Mets baseball games being inappropriate (she gave the cameraman the finger at one and wore skimpy lingerie to the other). “This woman is a jerk. I hate her,” Seinfeld said on a radio show. He added, “You take one ‘A’ off of that (her name) and you’ve got ‘gag.’” Gaga did not publicly respond to Seinfeld’s criticisms, but her actions in New York speak louder than words.

7. Rosie O’Donnell vs. Elisabeth Hasselbeck
 Why is it that people (especially men) love to see women fight publicly? Some catfights are downright dirty, with hair pulling, hitting, kicking and scratching involved. When celebrities are the stars of the main event, however, a catfight usually involves lots of public badmouthing of each other, and can still be downright dirty. Celebrity catfights don’t have to contain just women: men can get into the act as well. Here are ten of the most famous celebrity catfights of all time.
