American Idol Replacing Simon Cowell With Jessica Simpson
I highly doubt that American Idol will actually give Simon Cowell’s judge chair to Jessica Simpson..especially since the latest rumor is that Nigel Lythgoe from So You Think You Can Dance is headed back to Idol. Nigel oversaw Idol for its first seven more popular seasons and Fox wants him back to fix shit.
Word on the street is that Nigel and Simon Fuller have Justin Timberlake and Elton John at the top of their judge wish lists..so there is no way in hell Jess is gonna beat out JT or Sir Elton.
But wouldn’t she make a perfect replacement for Paula Abdul’s booze and Vicodin rants?
Life & Style is reporting that she is “in negotiations” to fill Simon’s vacant spot.
“She’s met with producer-creator Simon Fuller several times. They like her — she’s a good fit — and she likes it. Now it’s just a question of how to fit her in.”
I say they squeeze her in right between Randy and Kara. Catfight on one side and bitch slappin’ on the other.
Angelina Jolie Takes North Korea to Task
Better watch your back, Kim Jong Il. Angelina Jolie will totally kick your ass. Oh, and your huge ’80s sunglasses look effing ridiculous, BTW. Just saying.
Jolie was in Seoul, South Korea, today to promote her latest action thriller, Salt, which opens with a scene that takes place in a North Korean prison.
That’s not her only connection with the Korean Peninsula, of course. The actress and humanitarian is deeply worried about the people of North Korea.
The persecution defectors face when repatriated to the rogue state appalled Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees.
Seoul-based officials from the U.N. refugee agency brought the star up to date on the current state of affairs there, and she was naturally appalled.
GOODWILL AMBASSADOR: Angelina Jolie is Salt. And awesome.
“They spoke a lot about the concerns about people being persecuted when they are sent back,” she said. “I’m very concerned about the people.”
Tens of thousands of people from impoverished North Korea have migrated to neighboring China in recent years, activists say, but it’s very risky.
Many are sent back due to an agreement between North Korea and China. Some 19,000 have made it to South Korea, where they are protected.
“I learned today about them gaining citizenship and crossing into South Korea,” Angelina Jolie, who was also promoting her movie, told reporters.
“The UNHCR practices quiet diplomacy in which they do more than they talk about.”
As always, kudos to Angelina for using her high-profile status to bring attention to issues and people who truly need it. She sets a great example.

Kim Kardashian Offers Style Tips
For reasons that defy comprehension, Kim Kardashian is considered a fashion icon.
We could spend days questioning this classification – but, instead, we’ll simply accept it and pass along a number of company shills tips Kim recently offered in the pages of InStyle. Follow along if you wish to look your best…
Find a Great Tailor
“Anything you wear should be proportioned to your body, and a good tailor will make sure everything fits perfectly. I either have my tailor at every fitting or I have my stylist pin my wardrobe and take it to the tailor before I wear anything. Shortening a hem line on a dress can make a huge difference!”
Accentuate the Waist
“Show off that tiny waist! Adding a belt makes your outfit look more polished. I have great belts from Phillip Lim and Alaia. Vintage belts are one of a kind and can be affordable too.”
Avoid Baggy Clothing
“I know they are comfortable and they look amazing on Nicole Richie but flowy tops and dresses are not flattering on a curvy figure. They can make you look pregnant and they look sloppy in photos. Try wearing a maxidress instead. A.L.C, Torn by Ronny Kobo and T Bags make some great ones.”
Embrace Shapewear
“Every woman from a size 0-14 should own Spanx! I love Shapewear by Body Wrap; they have a firm control long leg panty that makes my body look smoother and slimmer under fitted dresses without leaving any lines.”
Love Those Curves!
“Being confident and owning your body is sexy. I love to show off my curves and designers like Thatcher, Antonio Berardi, Preen, Altuzarra, Markus Lupfer and Brian Lichtenberg make amazing dresses that fit my body perfectly.”
