Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze will battle each other for the 2010 American Idol title on next week’s Season 9 finale after guitarist Casey James was voted off by viewers on Wednesday.
For months, Bowersox — a 24-year-old dreadlocked single mom from Ohio — had for months seemed certain to win the current season of the TV singing show.

When Exes Attack: The Travis McCoy Edition…..A blast from the past is about to put a damper on Katy Perry’s wedded bliss with funnyman fiance Russell Brand.
Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy dated Perry on and off for more than three years before the couple finally called time on their sometimes-stormy romance in April 2009, and the musician still feels a twinge of something — jealously maybe? — when he thinks of how quickly the “I Kissed A Girl” hitmaker bounced back from their split and ended up engaged following a whirlwind romance with Brand.
Now Travis is channeling his heartbreak in the form of mixtape titled Forgetting Katy Perry — a new solo project inspired by Brand’s hit movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The 2008 comedy centers around a man struggling to recover from a breakup.
