American Idol Kara DioGuardi fired

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi has reportedly been fired. Lead singer of rock band Aerosmith, Steven Tyler may be joining the show soon. Although Kara was given the pink slip, Ellen DeGeneres made the decision on her own to leave the talent show immediately, opting out of the remainder of a four-year contract.

Unlike Ellen DeGeneres, Kara DioGuardi reportedly had a year-to-year deal, so it’s assumed that her option for a third year was not picked up. The news came amid further unconfirmed reports that one-time “Idol” mentor Jennifer Lopez would be joining the show as a judge. Lopez would take her seat alongside Jackson and another newcomer to the “Idol” table, Steven Tyler.

Katy Perry presents Teenage Dream

Katy Perry’s new album, Teenage Dream is dropping in stores on August 24. “It’s taking up way more time than my tour” Rihanna laughed to Access. “It’s so much pressure. Her wedding is probably going to be the best wedding I’ll ever go to and now I have to match the bachelorette party to that.”

Perry talks in-depth about a handful of songs on the album, including “Circle the Drain,” which Billboard’s Monica Herrera writes is “about ex-boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy,” and features the lyrics “You fall asleep during foreplay/ ‘Cause the pills you take, I know your forte/ I’m not sticking around to watch you go down.”

She also claims that making much of Teenage Dream was a battle of wills with her all-star team of producers, one that she was determined not to lose, no matter the cost.

Nicki Minaj is doing great with her second try, the Annie Lennox-sampling “Your Love”.
