Naturally, once word hit that Shakira and Usher wouldn’t be returning to Season 5 of The Voice with Adam Levine and Blake Shelton, reports hit making it sound like they were gone for good. One even tried to make Usher sound like a bit of an ass. US Weekly had a ‘source’ say that the singer ‘had more important things to do,” making it sound like mentoring young artists was beneath him.

Simon Cowell’s troubled X Factor USA begins shooting in Charleston, South Carolina on Tuesday May 21st and he is hoping to drum up some kind of publicity by stating that he won’t announce the new judges today. It’s looking like Kelly Rowland, who really tried hard to get onto last season’s X Factor but was overlooked for Brittany Spears and Demi Lovato will finally get her wish.

The other name out there is Mexican singer/actress Paulina Rubio….I know..who??? In all fairness, Rubio does have a Latin following and she was a coach on the second season of La Voz… Mexico.

Another week and yet more drama behind the scenes of American Idol now that Randy Jackson has officially announced he won’t be returning next season shortly after fellow judge Mariah Carey dumped him as her manager. We reported last month that more judges would be getting dumped, and now we’ve heard that FOX is frantically figuring out a new game plan. This includes finally dumping Executive Producer Nigel Lithgoe and bringing on a new crew of judges for next season. The big thing they’re working on behind the scenes is figuring out what programming they can use to replace it in 2015.

Simon Cowell’s X Factor USA has turned into yet another bruise for the network who pumped in a lot of money into the show assuming it could match or even best those ratings. All the show has mainly done is gather news about constantly changing new judges and firing hosts. Demi Lovato is the only returning judge (aside from Simon) and Mario Lopez will be sole host as Khloe Kardashian was thankfully put out of her misery.

The big issue for FOX is that Idol is still pulling in over $800 million in ad revenue but having to continually pay out for judges with ratings continually dropping doesn’t bode well in the forseeable future. It’s ratings are down 22 percent this season and it’s continually making news for all the wrong reasons. Having repeats of The Big Bang Theory beat you along with Duck Dynasty doesn’t help.

Lance Bass has had quite the busy birthday week. He co-hosted The View and revealed that NBA player Jason Collins came to him for some advice on coming out publicly. Bass didn’t have it quite so easy when he came out in 2006 and was met with shock from millions of people. Now it’s not such a big thing, but as anyone who is gay knows, that moment of coming out (especially as a celebrity) can be terrifying. The former N’Sync band member also had a few things to say about one of the band boys in One Direction possibly being gay and stuck in the closet.

There’s always been a lot of rumors and speculation that Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson were gay, but as Bass knows, record labels want their boy bands fans who are mostly young girls to think they’ve got a shot with them. Oddly enough, they never remember that many times teen girls gravitate to the gay boys just as much and at least they’re much safer for them to be with.

I I was driving along in my VW Rabbit when the new One Direction song, “Live While We’re Young,” came on the radio. I was instantly reminded of being a sixteen in a training bra again, and Brian Fletcher saying anything he could to get into my cotton underbritches.
