Black people and country music go together like peanut butter and mayonnaise; but Haeley Vaughn, 16, doesn't care about stereotypes. She's a cheerleader, she plays the guitar, and she wants to be "the first black pop country mainstream singer," dammit!

Haeley is adorable and she has an interesting bio. She was born prematurely, weighing only two pounds at birth, and her father passed away when she was only 10 years old. It's unlikely that she will be successful if she pursues country music, considering that many country music fans are heavily concentrated in the Souf where folks aren't exactly open-minded when it comes to black people. But the same could be said about Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Tiger Woods and the Williams sisters, who have all defied the odds. Good luck, Haeley!

Anyone else have no idea how Beyonce is ever able to perform at any time ever, running around and dancing in stilettos, without tripping and falling weave down first? B was doing the damn thing in Brazil when her heel gave way and sent her to the floor.

Being the stage veteran that she is, Beyonce remained on the floor, pretending that the fall was a part of her act. If Beyonce's weave caught on fire, she would just head toss a little harder while ad-libbing about fire until the blaze became smoke! Work it, Sasha.

We all know how desperate for peen Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is, well now she has something else to suck on other than pickles. Snooki's new "guido juicehead" is none other than Emilio Antonio, a bodybuilder.

Snooki says that she and Emilio are "the sexiest couple I have ever seen in my entire life!" Uhhhhh... Snooki also says that Emilio works at the gym and she's "excited for everybody to see" them together. I'm not excited to see them together, but I am excited to see pictures of Emilio. That dude is gorgeous!

American Idol contestant Aaron Kelly looks 14, sounds much older, and is actually 16 years old. The adorable aspiring singer sang Miley Cyrus' "The Climb" during his Idol audition; he has a great voice! Aaron has a long way to go because Idol isn't for the shy, but he is too cute for words and I hope he goes far in the competition, like making it into the final 12 or 10 so he can go on tour.

Jermaine Sellers sang Joan Osborne's "What if God Was One of Us" and he became one of the Idol hopefuls headed to Hollywood.

Jermaine Sellers has quite a resume. He's already toured with Tyler Perry's play "The Marriage Counselor," appeared on BET's "Sunday Best," and he's working on a new BET show called "106 & Park Generation Gospel." Jermaine has also toured with R&B singer Monica.

Jermaine already seems to have a flourishing career, so why does he need American Idol? Every aspiring singer needs American Idol, IMO, that's why. Idol will help him to reach his dreams quicker and on a much larger scale after millions become familiar with his face and his vocals.

The 26-year-old has taken care of his sick mother since he was 17 and he's from Joliet, Illinois. I LOVED his audition. You can check it out after the jump.

San Antonio Spurs' guard George Hill has been caught with his guard down and his pants off in his leaked nude photos.

George's sext messages have also been posted, screen caps included. In the messages, George says that he nuts quickly, like that's supposed to be a turn on. And like Greg Oden, Georgy also needs to do some manscaping.

Ashley Rodriguez has travelled internationally with the gospel group Overjoyed, but when she attempted to persuade American Idol judges with her vocals, she chose secular ballad "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. The song is extremely difficult to pull off, but Ashley did it well.

Kara DioGuardi "loved" her, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson gave her big "YES!" votes and Victoria Beckham liked the way she was dressed, lol. I adore Posh as an Idol judge because she's always critiquing the contestants attire and not their voices. She's the best!

Ashley's Boston audition is after the jump. She already has the looks for pop music. By the end of this season we'll learn just how far those full bubes, lips, and big voice will take her.

He may only be 19 years old, but Tyler Grady dresses like he's from the '70s and he sang Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" during his American Idol audition. Victoria Beckham was f*cking him with her eyes and Kara DioGuardi was fairly smitten too. He's tall, he has great energy, and Tyler's voice is sexual chocolate. He would be promoted to sexual fudge, but he could be easier on the eyes, so I'm sticking with 'sexual chocolate.' I like to rate my men by food sometimes.

Tyler is a drummer who says he wants to get his shine from becoming a frontman. Both of his wrists were broken when Tyler auditioned. His band, Wailing Waters, has done fairly well, winning three battle of the bands competitions. Tyler sang at the Boston auditions but he's from Pennsylvania.

I worship the microphone Howard Stern gets his spit on. I'm that much of a fan. Howard's contract with Sirius radio expires at the end of this year and Howard admitted that he's in talks to replace Simon Cowell.

On why he wants to become an American Idol judge: "There's not a better job on the planet than judging that f---ing karaoke contest. It would be the best thing that happened to me."

On his potential new schedule: "What a cush job -- $100 million for four months. Who wouldn't take that?"

On the salary he wants: "They'd have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough. A $100 million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I would do that show for $100 million."

On why the King of Media should replace Mr. Cowell: "I can't imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell]... I don't know. How else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who's not afraid to speak their mind?"

I am so in love with Howard Stern, I can't even express it without sounding as sane as Tila Tequila, so I won't bother to attempt it. But I will say this: American Idol is a sinking ship. Howard could rescue it, he really could! Simon is so much easier on contestants, but Howard never gives a sh*t and he is amazing. Fox, make this happen!

With a last name like Bowersox and blonde dreadlocks and a lip-piercing, Crystal Bowersox has got some distinctive features!

It's not everyday that you see a folk rock and blues singer wearing a guitar and rocking blonde dreadlocks. It's even more rare that a girl who grew up on a farm in Ohio would remind you of Janis Joplin - in braces.

Crystal has a stand-out look and a stand-out voice. I like her already.
