Kara DioGuardi
News

Adam Lambert's sexuality isn't much of a mystery to many, but Kara DioGuardi outs Adam Lambert on The View today.

When asked about Adam Lambert's sexuality, Kara said,

"I don't think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. I think he was always openly out. I think he was. I mean, from what I've seen ... I do. I never thought he wasn't."

When asked if Adam's sexuality influenced Idol voters, DioGuardi said,

"Well, first of all, I hope not ... because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry and they both [Lambert and winner Kris Allen] had that."

So Adam Lambert is out to the people he's closest to: friends, family, and those who know him personally; however, he is not publicly out and Kara should learn how to ambiguously answer questions already. She's been in the spotlight long enough to get a friggin' clue! I'm not upset that Kara outed Adam, but I am upset that she would discuss an Idol contestant's personal life on national television. And if Idol is about "talent and viability" than she shouldn't have brought more attention to Adam's sexuality by talking about it. Lame.

Idol producers should scold DioGuardi and ban her from interviews until she learns how to deal with the media. I guess the one good thing about Paula Abdul is that she speaks a foreign language.

American Idol's fourth judge Kara DioGuardi sang a duet with American Idol 'Best Attitude' winner Katrina Darrell on the night that Adam Lambert got robbed.

Katrina began Mariah Carey's "Vision of Love," much to the dismay of the crowd that quietly booed, then Kara jumped in and proved that she can sing. I wouldn't say sang, but she can sing.

During Katrina's time away from Idol she got herself what looks like some D-cup breast implants. No comment.

After Kara DioGuardi sang with the talentless Katrina, she then ripped open her coat and revealed her black bikini. As you can see, Kara has some great ribby abs! Heh. But she is not confident. Couldn't Kara fake confidence, have fun with it and work it for like two seconds during the finale last night? Kara's a pretty good singer, but an awkward performer. I thought DioGuardi was gonna urinate at the end of her performance. Did she have to be crossing her knees like that?! Well, I thought she was gonna urinate or fall down. I was hoping for both!

For those who haven't read any POTP American Idol posts this season, I want Adam Lambert to win! And because I want Glambert to win, I'm posting his videos and his videos only from last night's American Idol finale showdown.

I can count on one hand how many episodes I've actually sat through, and I was busy last night, but the internet is here to save us all! I was able to find 2 outta 3 of Glambert's performances last night. If I find the other - Adam Lambert's repeat performance of "Mad World" - I will post it. I also may post some Kris Allen videos too, but for now I wanna get all things Idol outta the way.

San Diego's Adam Lambert was his typical brilliant self while Arkansas' Kris Allen was his typical dull self. Both singers had to perform three songs. The 1st song was one they had already performed (Adam chose Mad World, Kris chose Ain't No Sunshine), the 2nd song was chosen by Idol producer Simon Fuller (Adam sung Change is Gonna Come, Kris sung What's Going On), and the 3rd song was the singer's debut single, "No Boundaries," a track co-written by judge Kara DioGuardi.

"No Boundaries" is one of the cheesiest, poorly written, verbal diarrhea lyrical arrangements that you will ever hear in your lifetime. Miley Cyrus wouldn't even degrade herself by singing this mess. Adam still worked it, he tried, but you can tell that he wanted to slap Kara while she blushed about her song. 

Anyway, we all know who's gonna win this shit - Adam Lambert, b*tches! I wanna root for Kris, I do. I just don't think he has any chance of having any longevity in the music bizniss. So why not give it to the contestant who's most likely to make everyone's efforts - the audience, fans, show creators, producers, guyliner artists and jewelry vendors - worth it?

Also, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are in the audience; they have a quick cameo after Adam sings "Change is Gonna Come." Videos after the jump.

I'm not really into new American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi. Personally, Kara and I would not get along. She would think that she's entitled to give me some stink eye, I would give her some stink eye right back plus a few eye rolls, and before you know it we'd be rolling around on the ground with each other's hair in our hands and mud wrestling.

Kara's a know it all loud mouth with a strong personality and a 'My way or the highway' attitude. There's only room for one HBIC up in my crew and that's me. However, Kara will return to American Idol next season with Simon Cowell, Paula Crazy, and Randy Jackson - that's a lot of ego on one panel! I'm so used to Kara already, I don't want her to go anywhere.

Tart-tongued judge Simon Cowell broke the news to Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, airing Tuesday.

"I think certainly next year everyone's going to be back," he said.

"Really?" DeGeneres asked.

"Yeah, absolutely," he said.

Paula Abdul and Kara Dioguardi agreed that Scott MacIntyre should stay, however, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson did not. The panel debated whether they should use their "save" vote to keep Scott on the show, but the votes for and against the legally blind contestant were split 50/50 and the 23-year-old singer was sent packing.

After MacIntyre performed Survivor's "The Search Is Over," DioGuardi was spotted gesturing angrily and talking very animatedly with the other judges. DioGuardi kept arguing with Cowell until he called it -- and then she slumped in her seat.

A teary-eyed Abdul called MacIntyre, "an inspiration to the entire world" and "one classy gentleman."

I didn't watch American Idol last night and I can't find video of Scott being voted off - I dunno how upset Kara was - but I am glad that Scott is gone. He is equally scary as he is inspirational and let's be honest, the sympathy vote is what has been keeping him around. The man needs to wear dark sunglasses during all of his performances. There are plenty of stunna shades that he can choose him. Just saying.

Sexy elf has been Nick Lachey and new American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi are recording a song together for Nick's upcoming album, Coming Up For Air.

The song is called "Temporary." A lil foreshadowing perhaps? Because it will probably temporarily hit airwaves before it even has a chance to hit the charts. Nick said,

"She and I wrote it together. Initially, just in the studio, we thought, 'All right, let's sing it together and then we'll maybe find someone else to be on it,' but she did such a great job on it.

"I'm very happy for her that she's getting this opportunity. Hopefully this song will be big for both of us."

I'm really glad Nick's gonna have a single with Kara! I can't wait for next season of American Idol when the mentally challenged contestants croak out Kara's song to her face and beg for admittance to the next round.

Good for her!

"It's already a big happy family," Abdul said Tuesday at the American Idol season 8 auditions held in New York. "We are so happy to have her."

In fact, DioGuardi has already had quality bonding time with all three judges, says Simon Cowell. "We had a picnic last night. I wore jammies and the girls wore negligees and we kind of broke the ice," Cowell joked. "We had cake until two in the morning."

Joking aside, DioGuardi says the judges have welcomed her with open arms�"yes, even Simon. "You were nice to me," DioGuardi said to Cowell on the red carpet about their initial meeting. "You were actually OK."

The only one I'm still concerned with is Paula Abdul being a diva and arguing with Kara. Producers must keep her liquored up on whiskey and benadryl if they want things to work out.

Paula Abdul has mixed feelings about Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi being added as a fourth judge on Fox's American Idol.

On Phoenix's 104.7 KISS FM Johnjay & Rich radio show Monday, she said she was excited but added, "I am concerned about the audience and acceptance. Time will tell. We'll see.

"They always tried for a fourth judge because it followed the format of the original show, Pop Idol," Abdul said. "We haven't had much luck with that working, but we're gonna give it another try."

Asked if she, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell have sat down with DioGuardi to test their chemistry, Abdul replied, "Nope," and laughed.

What happens if she and Jackson vote one way, but DioGuardi feels differently?

"That's gonna be weird if it's a split decision," Abdul said. "I'm sure Simon will get to make the final [call]."

"It takes the fun out of all the hard work I do to push those kids through," she added.

This just may be the very best season of American Idol yet! I don't see how Paula's not gonna argue with this ho. Remember when she thought dude sang two songs when he sang one? She can cuss out Simon but something tells me Kara will give her some good eye rolls. There's gonna be tension. Good tension. Good TV. :)

I dunno if I like this. Is she gonna be a drunken ass bitch like Paula or a loud-mouth attention whore? If not, she's gotta go!

Paula, Randy and Simon are getting some company.

Grammy-nominated songwriter Kara DioGuardi is joining American Idol as a judge when the singing competition returns for its eighth season in January 2009.

"We are turning the heat up on Idol this year and are thrilled to welcome Kara to the judges' table," show creator Simon Fuller said in a statement released Monday. "She is a smart, sassy lady, and one of America's most successful songwriters. We know she will bring a new level of energy and excitement to the show."

DioGaurdi is certainly qualified for the job, having written songs for artists as diverse as Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Santana, and Pink. Even Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers have released DioGuardi's songs.

Producers always intended to have a fourth judge on the panel.

"We've seen from our international series that having a fourth judge creates a dynamic that benefits both the contestants and the viewers," Frot-Coutaz said.

I'm guessing contestants now have to get the approval of three judges instead of just two. That's gonna be hard! I'll tune in to see what she's all about. American Idol had to do something new. Next they should replace Ryan Seacrest, get someone funny, hot and naked up there.
