There’s a Peacock in Ryan Seacrest’s future….
With just one more year left on his $15 million a year contract with the nation’s favorite singing competition, American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is in talks to develop a rival talent hit for NBC.
Winning isn’t everything and losing’s looking very good on American Idol reject Pia Toscano. Her ousting from the FOX singing competition sent shockwaves through the tightknit online community of talent show, but missing out on a shot at the title has given the Queens-born singer the biggest boost her career has seen in years. Since her Idol exit, Pia’s inked a recording contract, is set to begin work on her debut album as early as next week, and “reportedly” entered a red-hot love affair with Dancing With The Stars pro Mark Ballas.
Oh -did we forget to mention that Toscano just signed a contract worth $100,000 to perform a handful of songs during a birthday party at a private residence in Los Angeles on May 8?
A JLo-Free American Idol could become a reality if producers of the longrunning FOX talent show can’t fork over the $20 million annual salary the Latin superstar is requesting before she agrees to sign on the dotted line for Season 11, according to a new report.
What does the future hold for American Idol judge Jennifer Lopez? The Bronx-born superstar, recently voted PEOPLE Magazine’s Most Beautiful Person, has inked a new deal with Idol creator and executive producer Simon Fuller and his company, XIX Entertainment, to launch yet another musical talent competition -– this one targeting folks South of the Border.
Look at her blush! Bluesy throwback Casey Abrams made it hard for Jennifer Lopez to breathe after he gave the stunning judge a smooch on the cheek after his performance of Maroon 5’s “Harder to Breathe” on American Idol Wednesday.
Shh! Don’t tell, Marc.
