JLo on the 'Idol' set
Ray Mickshaw /Fox
The mix of mentors on "American Idol" continues to amaze me. Whether you think the contestants are hitting the right notes, you have to admire the show for getting some uber-talented celebs to show up each week.
OK, so it is a chance for said celebs to plug an upcoming tour or recently released CD. Such is the case this week with superstar Jennifer Lopez, shown above, who is working with the Elite 8 finalists on a Latin-themed competition.
The four guys/four girls will compete at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Then, on Wednesday, JLo will perform her new single, “Qué Hiciste,” on the results show at 9 p.m. Unless, that is, she gets the flu bug, which prevented last week's mentor, Tony Bennett, from performing.
Jennifer recently released her first all-Spanish album, “Como Ama Una Mujer” (How a Woman Loves), so she's got some incentive to show up.
Note to you: By the way, I got a whiff of Jennifer's newest fragrance, Glow After Dark. Head over to my other favorite blog, 21Q and get the scoop on the scent and its online reality show.
As for how "Idol's" Top 8 will cut it with this theme, I like Jordin Sparks' chances, as well as Chris Richardson's.
As for silly Sanjaya Malakar, check out this e-mail to Idol Chatter from Adrienne in Sacramento:
"Why is he still there?????? He was kept in the Top 10 to get the 12-year-old girls to come to the ('Idol') tour. But now I really don't know why he's there. Help!"
And then there's this from Marsha in Sacramento:
"I am so tired of people feeling sorry for poor, talentless Sanjaya since he's only 17. Don't people realize that fantastically talented Jordin Sparks is also 17 and could possibly be one of the Top 5!? People who keep voting for Sanjaya are making a mockery of 'American Idol' and hurting the talented contestants."
Love him or loathe him, Yahoo! Buzz reports today that Sanjaya not only has more searches than this week’s guest star, JLo, but "he has become the most-searched male celebrity in the past seven days, bypassing Yahoo! regulars Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and even Harry Potter."
