During Jane Carrey's American Idol audition, she claimed that she benefits from being Jim Carrey's daughter but it also puts pressure on her. Well, Jimmy's spawn faced no form of adversity when she auditioned for American Idol. Unlike the tens of thousands of aspiring singers who compete each year, Jane didn't have to wait in line. She just showed up, damnit!

Radar reports that contestants in San Diego camped out for days but Jim's daughter just "had an appointment and showed up."

“Her audition was pre-arranged with the producers. She did not wait and line up for hours or days outside – she had a time, she showed up and went in.” 

When Jane auditioned, Randy quickly cut into her song and started talking to her and then the judges let her through! It's okay, though. Jane won't last that long in the competition. She can barely sing.

Jim Carrey's 24 year-old daughter Jane Carrey competed on last night's episode of American Idol. The show was filming contestants in San Diego, and Jim's adorable daughter traveled a few hours South to try out. Naturally, a segment on who Jane is aired before she met the judges.

Jane looks like the love child of Kelly Clarkson and Miley Cyrus, and she's so cute! Naturally Randy Jackson didn't allow Jane to sing for very long, cause she isn't very good, but she's a Carrey. Surprise! Jane made it through.

We have yet another reason to hate Casper Smart. Not only is he paid nearly half a million dollars a year to have sex with Jennifer Lopez, his sugamama just got him hired to work for American Idol!

Marc Anthony used to hang out at the American Idol set to tell JLo what to say to contestants during the commercial breaks, which I think is super supportive and sweet. Jenny should have held onto Marc. Now that Anthony's gone, Casper also has to hang around on the set.

Jenny has petitioned the show's producers to get Casper a gig.

"Casper has some title but no one knows what he’s supposed to be doing,” an insider tells In Touch.

Lopez has also used her attorneys to clear Casper of charges stemming from recklessly drag-racing a friend down an LA freeway last winter.

I'm pissed! Where is the male version of JLo? I'm down for whateva.

Jennifer Lopez is getting her money's worth out of her 24 year-old boyfriend, Casper Smart. She changes plans so that he can accompany her abroad, and she's even introduced him to her fellow American Idol judges!

An exclusive industry dinner was held Monday night in Las Vegas. The affair was held at Crystals' Social House restaurant after a taping of Fox's show.

"[Lopez and Smart] cuddled up next to one another, exchanging a few small kisses during the dinner. They were all very sweet." 

How long have these two been together again?! Ladies, Jennifer Lopez is exactly what you don't want to be at 42 years old! No one of any age, let alone a mother of 3 year-old twins, should be so desperate for dong and attention.

American Idol winner Scott McCreery sang the National Anthem at the opening of the World Series last night, but it started off a little awkward. Scott started singing, but his microphone wasn't working. After getting the sound fixed, Scott did an amazing job of belting out the anthem with his good ol' country twang.

Scott didn't try to get all diva on us and make the song into something of his own, he sang it as it should be done. I think the American Idol judges would be proud, but he did sound like he started to fall a little flat at the very end. Kudos Scott, you did a fab job!

You can check out the video of Scott's performance after the jump.

Adam Levine is no American Idol fan and he's not afraid to speak his mind. In the September issue of Out magazine, Levine explains why American Idol isn't progressive while The Voice is gay-friendly.

Adam says that his brother is gay and his family "knew when he was two." Levine says “I can single-handedly dispel any ideas that sexuality I acquired. Trust me, you’re born with it."

He continued saying that some people don't want their child to be gay and "will fight it at all costs, but it's a losing f*cking battle."

On American Idol: “What’s always pissed me off about Idol is wanting to mask that, for that to go unspoken. C’mon. You can’t be publicly gay? At this point? On a singing competition? Give me a break."

Idol is so 2008 anyways. It's ok baby.

I think Adam doesn't really know what he's talking about though. All Idol contestants aren't supposed to give interviews while competing for the title. Adam Lambert's drag queen photos surfaced while he was competing. Lambert, like every other contestant, couldn't give interviews about anything unrelated to the show when the rumors surfaced.

The Voice allows people like Frenchie Davis to compete after Idol booted her because she had a topless pic. The Voice is more tolerant, but I don't think that gay contestants aren't allowed to be publicly gay on American Idol. There have been some QUEENS competing on the Idol stage year after year.

Even though Lady Gaga is the closest thing we have to both an alien and a superstar, she’s actually a pretty talented artist and singer. Still, her mega-millions now don’t mean that she’d meet the standards of our favorite snarky-@ss judge back when he was on American Idol.

Simon Cowell tells Life & Style magazine that if Stefani Germanotta had come through the Idol doors, the future Gaga would have been almost immediately rejected from the competition.

"She would have been thrown out within 10 seconds...It would have been one of the kooky auditions."

But things might be different on X Factor, his new reality show where he also gets to judge singing people and make them cry. Simon admits that Gaga’s massive success has forced him to reconsider his criteria for dismissing talent. 

"Now you have to be more open-minded and embrace that level of expression. You hope to God you can find someone like her."

Of course he does. Simon’s a businessman and Lady Gaga makes the dollah signs roll. I think he’s finally coming to terms with what the American public craves. Sparkly! Shiny! Gaudy! Atrocious! Therein, I think, lies the appeal of William Hung.

...And that reminds me. We also like making penis jokes.

American Idol winner Lee DeWyze has found the woman of his dreams and is ready to make the big commitment. According to Us Weekly, Lee is engaged to girlfriend Jonna Walsh!

The two met in 2010 in October 2010 while shooting the video for his first single "Sweet Serendipity" in October 2010 and plan on tying the knot in the fall of 2012.

Uh oh, you know where this might be heading... Splitsville! Why do so many people think they have to jump into marriage so fast? He's only 25, has his whole life ahead of him, and they've only been dating for a few months. What happened to just sitting back, and enjoying the ride for a little while?

Oh well, whatever floats their boat. Good luck Lee and Jonna!

Although Adam Lambert "lost" American Idol and Carrie won, the handsome singer from San Diego has earned the #2 spot on Forbes magazine's Highest Paid American Idol Alumni list.

Carrie Underwood is in the top spot, earning $20 million last year, while Lambert holds the second place slot, along with Chris Daughtry. Adam and Chris both made $6 million last year.

The totals were put together by calculating the singers earnings on a pre-tax basis, before subtracting agent and manager fees.

Carrie recently surpassed Kelly Clarkson as the best-selling Idol of all time.

Lambert, 29, makes his first appearance on the Forbes list for his $6 million payday between May 2010 and May 2011. The season 8 runner-up played 116 concerts worldwide in the last 12 months, Forbes reports.

Forbes list:

1. Carrie Underwood: $20 million
2. Chris Daughtry: $6 million (tie), Adam Lambert: $6 million (tie)
3. Fantasia Barrino: $4 million
4. Jordin Sparks: $3 million
5. Kelly Clarkson: $2.5 million
6. Jennifer Hudson: $2 million
7. Kellie Pickler: $1.8 million
8. Clay Aiken: $1.5 million
9. Katharine McPhee: $1 million (tie), David Archuleta: $1 million (tie), David Cook: $1 million (tie)

Season 10 American Idol contestant Pia Toscano is a pretty girl with a good voice, but will she make it in the mainstream pop music industry?

Ya kinda gotta stand out in order to make it. Just ask Adam Lambert and Ke$ha. Juxtapose their careers with Kris Allen, Katharine McPhee, or even that chick named Jo Jo. A big voice and good looks just won't do the trick. Even powerful vocalists like Christina Aguilera struggled to sell, while P!nk killed it on the charts last year. Originality is everything and this song is, well, you be the judge.
