'American Idol' auditions are over, and now the contestants have been thrown into the heat of competition that is Hollywood Week. Tonight's (Feb. 7) episode focused on the solo performances by the boys. Next week, on Thursday night, eight more of the male contestants will be sent home. So no one is safe.
Here are the key singers who made it through and who face being chopped in a week. Hey, we never said 'Idol' wasn't an emotional roller coaster.
If it's not one thing it's another regarding Beyonce's Super Bowl XLVII performance. A manufactured nip slip, being accused of causing a power outage, not having enough "oomph" or a sizzle factor. You name it, Bey's been criticized over it. Not to be outdone, the powers-that-be at PETA have taken aim at Queen Bey for her leather and lace onesie, since it was constructed of exotic skins like python and iguana.
The always stylish Demi Lovato covers the spring issue of the U.K. mag Cosmo on Campus in a short and fun gray frock with a bustier top and a swingy, pleated skirt. She opens up about love and how she went through the phase where she was a clingy girlfriend.
Pink is very busy in her new video for the lovelorn ballad 'Just Give Me a Reason.' She cavorts in a bed with her tattooed husband Carey Hart (last seen in her 'So What?' video), snuggles up on a sheets-free mattress with a big teddy bear and gets a robust assist from fun. singer Nate Ruess. They do their duet justice by performing together intensely in this clip.
Beyonce delivered one helluva fierce performance at the Super Bowl on Sunday (Feb. 3.) She epitomized her Sasha Fierce alter ego, and Miss Fierce was in full effect, shaking her groove thang, making rubbery faces that are expected from Nicki Minaj and generally being the queen that she is. However, some of the photos show her making angry-looking faces, and her publicist has taken to asking them to be removed.
Being Bruno Mars' sisters has its obvious perks. But when you are beautiful, talented and in a vocal group together, well, being Bruno's siblings can be a sidenote! The Lylas, the group comprised of Mars' four sisters, will be the subject of an upcoming WE Tv docu-series.
Pink covers the March 2013 issue of Redbook, looking smashing in a white vest, print pants and platinum, punky hair. The issue lands on stands on Feb. 12, but we've got the inside scoop on the feature, where the 'Try' singer dishes about the creative (and bloody) way she reconciled with estranged hubby Carey Hart, which lead to their expanding their family with daughter Willow.
Bruno Mars' video for the haunting ballad 'When I Was Your Man' is a simple, focused clip where the crooner plays the role of piano man, with a drink perched atop his instrument, a suit on his back and shades covering his eyes while he tickles the ivories. The emotion reverberates off the screen as he sings the lyrics of the song.
Perhaps the fact that Beyonce's halftime performance at Super Bowl XLVII last night (Feb. 3) was so clean, so drama-free and so wardrobe malfunction-less that people feel the need to invent or imagine a nip slip to have something to talk about? Fresh off of Lip-Syncgate, haters known as Beythiests are looking for something to grab on to and have suggested a nip slip. It happened right after she and the members of Destiny's Child rode in on unicorns.
Performing the national anthem at the Super Bowl or any sporting event is always a nerve-wracking task, since pop stars tend to flub the lines with regularity. Maybe it's nerves. Maybe it's the pressure and being on such a national stage. Who knows. But it happens... a lot. Alicia Keys performed 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at Super Bowl XLVII tonight (Feb. 3), seated at a white piano in the middle of the field. We're proud to report that it was flawless, both lyrically and melodically.
The Super Bowl is all about fun times and mirth and merriment. But Super Bowl XLVII kicked off with an emotional moment of incredible weight, when the Sandy Hook Student Chorus from Newton, Conn. stepped onto the field to sing 'America the Beautiful' at tonight's (Feb. 3) big game. The children sang the song on their own before being joined by diva Jennifer Hudson.
