American Idol is in it 11th season now and has consistently gotten massive ratings and millions of viewers. Recently the question has been thrown around… are ratings going down? And, is it time to stop after this season?

Ashton Kutcher and Charlie Sheen may have enjoyed a bit of an awkward run-in with one another backstage at the 2011 Emmy Awards last night but comedienne Kathy Griffin and E! News host Ryan Seacrest shared their own awkward moment before the Emmys last night on the red carpet. Kathy, in an effort to shock Ryan, decided to plant a big, fat kiss on his lips … a kiss that Ryan looked like he did NOT want to get. Check out the hilarious video below — be warned, the video autoplays.

In the wake of the early leak of a demo version of Britney Spears‘s new single Hold It Against Me earlier today, Britney posted the artwork for her new single on her official Twitter profile and announced the ACTUAL release date for her new single. PLUS, Ryan Seacrest announces the title of another NEW Britney Spears song!!

Last week we learned officially that Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez and Randy Jackson had been signed to judge the 10th season of American Idol and today we learn that the new judges have already started their judging duties. Steven, J. Lo and Randy (along with hanger-oner Ryan Seacrest) were on hand to judge auditions this week and producer Nigel Lythgoe decided to share a photo on his official Twitter profile:

It’s great to be back on American Idol. The judges were great.

While I’m still not convinced that this new AI judging panel will be the show’s saving grace that so many people are hoping and praying for, at least we know that they are hard at work to try and fix the show. I mean … just seeing these 3 sitting at the judging desk just looks so wrong. I fear this judging panel is gonna be a big flop. I can feel it my bones.

Yesterday we learned officially that American Idol has chosen its new judges for the upcoming 10 season of the series … the panel is made up of Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler and returning original judge Randy Jackson. Today we get to check out a nicely airbrushed promo photo of the new AI judging panel along with Idol host Ryan Seacrest:

Along with the new judging panel, there will be some changes the competitive element of American Idol as well. There will be no guest mentors for the contestants, only Jimmy Iovine will be on hand as the sole mentor all season long. It sounds like the use of instruments will be amended … or taken out completely. The contestants will no longer be forced to perform songs outside of their genre of choice … the focus will be on decades of music rather than forcing the contestants to sing genre songs they aren’t comfortable with. There will be allowances for guest judges from time to time. And, most importantly, the show will go back to creating American Idols … which, except for Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood, hasn’t happened on the show in a very long time. To be honest, I’m not impressed with these changes … nor with the new judging panel … but at least fans of the show can see that they are trying to fix the once very-popular show. After the jump, check out some photos from yesterday’s Idol judge announcement event to see what the new judges looked like onstage, in person …

Last month we learned that Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler had signed on to judge the upcoming 10th season of American Idol on Fox. A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Jennifer Lopez had, too, signed on to judge the upcoming season of AI. Today, Fox made that news official when it revealed LIVE via online video stream the new judging panel for season 10 of American Idol which, very confusingly, still includes Randy Yo Dawg! Jackson:

Golden Globe-nominated actress, platinum-selling recording artist, movie producer and entrepreneur Jennifer Lopez and multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Steven Tyler, the frontman of Aerosmith – the best-selling American rock band of all time – have joined AMERICAN IDOL as judges. Lopez and Tyler will join returning IDOL judge Randy Jackson for the 10th anniversary season, which premieres January 2011 on FOX. In addition, Jimmy Iovine, chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, co-founder of Beats Audio and one of the world’s most successful and prolific music producers, will join AMERICAN IDOL as an in-house mentor. Throughout the season, IDOL will go behind-the-scenes to feature Iovine working with and lending his expertise to the contestants as they compete to become the next American Idol. As part of Universal Music Group’s long-term alliance with AMERICAN IDOL, Interscope Geffen A&M will market, promote and distribute albums globally from AMERICAN IDOL finalists and winning contestants across a broad array of retail and new media platforms. “For nine years I’ve enjoyed watching artists compete to get a meaningful chance to achieve their dreams,” said Lopez. “I know from my own experience how hard it is to succeed, and I’m looking forward to discovering and nurturing that spirit in the many AMERICAN IDOL contestants I look forward to meeting this year.” “I’ve been on tour for most of my life in a band with four guys who judge me every day. Sometimes it hurt, but it only made me stronger,” said Tyler. “I want to give everybody a little love before I decide who goes home heartbroken. If you don’t like what I say, don’t get mad, get better. I’m ready to bring some rock to this ‘roller’ coaster and show these kids if they have the dream, the talent and the drive, they will be the next American Idol.” “I can’t believe it’s been 10 years of the greatest show in the world,” said Jackson. “I am looking forward to this next season; we are going to knock it out of the park. Season 10 is going to be hot!” “We are all thrilled to have Interscope Geffen A&M now be the distributor for AMERICAN IDOL’s music,” said Iovine. “I’m looking forward to working as a mentor on the show, where I’ll work with the talent to help them develop and grow week to week. This will also give the audience a deeper look into the artists’ abilities and give viewers more insight when making their choices.” “Our 10th season begins with a completely invigorated panel of judges with Jennifer and Steven joining Randy. This is combined with the world’s most successful and brilliant music executive, Jimmy Iovine, becoming the contestants’ special mentor,” explains series creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “AMERICAN IDOL in 2011 promises plenty of surprises and positive changes, and we look forward to continuing to innovate and lead the way for others to follow.”

I have to say, as a non-watcher of the show, official news of this casting does nothing to make me want to start watching the show. This seems like such a mismatched group of folks … I just don’t get it. But, Fox is really counting on this casting to help revive the once hugely popular show. After the jump, check out video from the live stream announcement that took place online just moments ago …

Despite the fact that Britney Spears‘s manager Adam Leber denied the imminent release of new music from Britney Spears, a rumor started going around last week that claimed Britney would be releasing a new single called It’s A Secret in the coming weeks. Today we have concete proof that a new single from our dear Britney exists … and it was written by The Neptunes!

This screencap comes from the official BMI music publishing site that lists the title of this new Britney Spears song, written by Charles Edward Hugo and Pharrell L. Williams, as My Big Secret. This is undeniable proof that the song exists … the fact that it is titled The Big Secret which is very similar to It’s A Secret gives great credence to the rumor we heard last week. Whether or not the song will be released is anyone’s guess but … I now have very high hopes :)

Additionally, despite the fact that Jane Lynch has confirmed that Britney Spears will NOT be appearing in the episode of Glee devoted to her music, Glee creator Ryan Murphy says otherwise and confirms to Ryan Seacrest that Britney WILL appear on Glee. Find out all the deets about this confirmation after the jump …

And so … America picks a new American Idol to reign over the landscape of competitive reality TV musicdom. Last night, the latest season of American Idol came to a close in a lavish finale episode that featured a host of big name musical acts, a tearful goodbye to the show’s meanest judge and — of course — the revelation of America’s pick for this year’s Idol. Here are a few photos of some of the big name musical acts who performed during last night’s finale ep:

While I am not a huge fan of the show itself, even I have to admit that American Idol puts on some of the most entertaining finale episodes on TV these days. Last night’s ep featured performances by Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Alanis Morissette, Bret Michaels, Carrie Underwood (herself a former AI winner) and more! It was deff worth tuning in just to see these pop stars pay homage to America’s biggest musical popularity contest. But, of course, the entire night lead up to the big announcement. In the end, there were 2 contestants left … Crystal Bowersox and Lee DeWyze. But only one of them could be named this year’s American Idol. And the winner is …

For some reason, as yet fully unknown to me, Ryan Seacrest decided to whip out his video camera and record footage of Emmy Award winning host of Survivor, Jeff Probst, nekkid from the waist up while backstage at the Nokia Theater for the 60th Annual Emmy Awards in LA last night — and then share it with the InterWeb … so natch, we have to take a look. Here are a few screencaps of the shirtless Probst with another shirtless and overly hairy man named Vic:

Is it really wrong that I don’t really mind the sight of Jeff Probst sans shirt? Am I alone? Click HERE to watch this video footage in full … if you dare … then lemme know what you think.
