Finally, Paula Abdul responds to the news of Ellen Degeneres replacing her role as one of the judges of American Idol.  Paula said ”

“AMERICAN IDOL is a fantastic show that offers an invaluable platform to young talent. Ellen DeGeneres is wildly funny and talented in her own right.

I wish her and the show only the best of luck. Hope it’s comparable to Las Vegas Shows. ”

Ellen also spent time chatting with Ryan Seacrest and shared her thoughts on being one of the judges (source: perezhilton.com).

On her qualifications for being a judge:
“The people are the ones that choose the American Idol. Ultimately it doesn’t come down to some expert in the music industry, it comes down to everybody at home that says ‘that’s the person I relate to, that’s the person that I’m going to buy music from’.”

On her judging style:
“I’m not going to be mean, I hate when Simon Cowell is that mean. You can be constructive and criticize somebody that’s helpful instead of mean spirited.”

On Paula Abdul’s departure:
“I hope Paula [Abdul] is okay with it. I don’t want anybody to think I took Paula’s job away. I feel like she was gone and then everybody was looking for somebody else, then I stepped in. I certainly don’t want to be that person that is the evil taking Paula’s job away.”

OMG! Who would have thought that Ellen Degeneres would be replacing Paula Abdul in American Idol? This news is really shocking. I wonder what Paula has to say aout this? I wonder how much Idol is paying Ellen to join the show. In fairness to Paula, I also like Ellen Degeneres and having her in American Idol is a great idea indeed.

Lots of shows are interesting including Las Vegas Shows. Just kidding.

Erin Andrews called 911

Last Wednesday, Erin Andrews, victim of the most searched peephole video, reportedly called 911 because of a stalker lurking around her home in Georgia. It was obvious that the unknown stalker was not aware that Andrews and her lawyer during a press conference issued a statement that her privacy be respected. It was also taken into account about finding and prosecuting the perpectrator who shot several videos of Erin Andrews naked in a hotel room. An inclusion of those who publish the illegal video will face civil and criminal lawsuits.

The Dunwoody Police responded to the 911 call and found the stalker at Andrew’s door. The suspicious character said he was a reporter and was only there for the purpose of internviewing Andrews. The reporter was allowed to leave after brief questioning.

ESPN had reportedly launched their own investigation; however, rumour has it that a member of Andrew’s production team may have been responsible for the illegal video.

ESPN Sportscaster Erin Andrews

Just recently, ESPN’s lovely sportscaster, Erin Andrews, had been Google’s top search this week. Andrews who had been voted by Playboy as America’s Sexiest Sportscaster had a video shot through a peephole with her walking around the room naked. The video was posted on the Internet allegedly a month prior but only gained popularity this week. Furious of being victimized by such abhorent act, Erin hired one of the best lawyers, Marshall B. Grossman to help her place the peephole pervert behind bars.

The scandalous video surfaced on the Internet under the title “Hot naked blond who looks a lot like a sports-blogger favorite in her hotel room.” ESPN wasn’t happy with several media outlets for exploiting the story including Fox News, CBS and New York Post. Most of which have aired or ran a video (with parts of Andrews’ body blurred) or ran several still photos from the video.

Despite this the New York Post page six gossip ran an item blaming ESPN. Quoting from the article “No one would have known that a sick voyeur had secretly videotaped ESPN reporter Erin Andrews nude in her hotel room if the Mickey Mouse sports network hadn’t sent a letter to an obscure Web site demanding that it take down its link to a fuzzy video of an unidentified blonde.”

Meanwhile, in response to the increasing popularity of the video on the Internet, CBS News stated that many online viewers don’t realize that watching videos such as this is against the law. CBS News legal analyst, Lisa Bloom also stated that downloading or watching the video is illegal.

The news that hackers are creating fake websites to allow searchers to download a trojan horse virus also circulated on the Internet.
