Last Update on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012 at 8:20 AMfrom Eyewitness News Online "American Idol" - Hollywood Week For the hundreds of contestants who the judges told "you're going to Hollywood," the fun starts tonight. And the pressure. It's Hollywood Week on "American Idol." About 300 singers got golden tickets. We'll see how long they last. The Idol website has a list of everyone who made it, along with short interviews.
"American Idol's" Hollywood Week is going to be more dramatic than usual, because more contestants were sick than usual. Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe says Amy Brumfield, the one known as "Tent Girl," brought a virus that spread among the contestants. He saw one contestant's eyes roll in the back of her head just before she fell off the stage. He says the contestants were dropping like flies -- and he attributes that to "stupidity or dehydration." He says many contestants either failed to drink enough water or were pounding too many energy drinks. Simon Cowell - Paula Understands It's Just Business Simon Cowell says Paula Abdul understands why she had to leave "The X Factor." He tells "Extra," "she understands it's business; it's never personal." He also doesn't think Nicole Scherzinhger is mad, though he says she's probably "disappointed." Cowell admits he shouldn't have opened his "big mouth" to brag that the show would be watched by 20 million people. He says if he hadn't done that, "everybody would be saying the show as a huge success." Sherri Shepherd - If You're Gonna Try On Clothes, Put Them Back On The Rack!!!! And now, this request from Sherri Shepherd: If you're gonna try on clothes at the store, put them back on the rack!!! Shepherd has never gotten over her job working in the fitting room at a Marshalls store. She says she can't understand how a woman can bring 12 items into the fitting room and then "leave them on the floor like you were raised in a cave." She says every time she goes in a fitting room to this day she picks up clothes and puts them back on hangers. Shepherd currently co-stars in "One for the Money" as well as appearing on "The View." Don Cornelius Death Ruling Coroner's officials have ruled that Don Cornelius did, indeed, kill himself. They made the decision after doing an autopsy. Investigators are still waiting for results of the toxicology tests to see if there were any drugs in his body. "Big Miracle" - John Krasinski John Krasinski is amazed by how life-like the animatronic whales are in "Big Miracle." He says he didn't believe for a second that they were robots. Usually, he says, an actor gets only a tennis ball on a stick to look at and the whale would be added later with a computer. He says that doesn't help when he's trying to "say goodbye to a tennis ball." Michelle Obama Beats Jimmy Fallon It's Jimmy Fallon versus first lady Michelle Obama. And Jimmy Fallon loses. The first lady beat Fallon in a White House fitness challenge on last night's "Late Night." The bit was to promote the first lady's "Let's Move!" campaign. Mrs. Obama and Fallon did pushups, ran stairs and even competed in a potato sack race. The defeated Fallon says, "It doesn't matter if you won or lost." But the first lady replies, "It matters." The segment was taped last month. |
