We should have known that Simon Cowell would fit right in in New Jersey.At the Newark auditions, Simon is all about the “Jersey spirit” and East Coast confidence — especially when it comes to 14-year-old Brian Bradley of Brooklyn, N.Y., who already sees himself as a formidable rival to Jay-Z and Kane West. So why doesn’t he have a record deal already? “It’s politics, man,” Brian explains.
Just when he’s winning everyone over with his adorableness, Brian suddenly seems to start picking a fight with Simon. But really, he’s just transitioning into his song, which appears to be called, “Stop Lookin’ at My Mom.” With this, he’s forgiven, and Simon calls him “arrogant, obnoxious, argumentative but one of the most talented young people in a long, long time.” Which pretty much sums it up. And he’s cute, too. Read PopNews »

“X Factor” enters into its second week in America with Bieber Fever victims, visitors from Planet Paula, and an adult who wants to be a teenager (not to mention a man who smells like burritos). But the Chicago auditions started off sweetly with a couple of opposite sex “friends” — with absolutely no benefits. Brock longs for Makenna, his singing partner of four years, but she doesn’t know it.
“Maybe one day she’ll know it,” Brock tells the cameras.
We hate to break it to you, Brock, but that day has come. Nevertheless, Brock and Makenna make a convincing country duo and score four yes votes from the judges. Read PopNews »

This week Snooki’s boyfriend got upset when Snooki acted like Snooki: while dancing at a club she lifted her dress and flashed her “kooka” to the crowd. But first, when we last we saw Team Meatball, Snooki was blowing into a breathalyzer after plowing the Fiat into a cop car. Good news: she passed! Bad news: the cops took her and Deena to jail anyway. Read PopNews »

Other than a homeless rocker, a gorgeous female rugby coach and a rare male soprano, the second night of “The X Factor” left us wondering if all the talent has already been scooped up by the other “American Idol” copycat shows.The Miami auditions start out on a low note with 29-year-old Ashley Sansone, whose email address is supposedly “unstoppable talent.” Dear unstoppable.talent@whatever — please shut up already! Paula actually speaks for everyone when she says she’s “exhausted” after listening to Ashley ramble on, and her performance of Janis Joplin’s “Piece of My Heart” makes L.A. Reid want to “slit his wrists.” Read PopNews »

If you could get past feeling like you were watching an old season of “American Idol,” the series premiere of “The X Factor” was actually pretty good.From an adorable 13-year-old to a 42-year-old single mom to a talented rapper only 70 days out of rehab, “The X Factor” had more tear-jerker moments than a Lifetime movie. Even the commercials were inspirational.
And Simon Cowell was actually not as mean as we thought he was going to be. Read PopNews »

Yes, Snooki and Deena take The Meatball Show on the road this week. But first, busybody Jenni starts right where she left off: lecturing Snooki about her relationship with Jionni, who she and the roommates dislike. Didn’t she date a guy who stole a bunch of her stuff? Should she be advising anyone on who to date?But when Snooki calls Jionni, it seems like Jenni might have a point. Jionni scolds Snooki for being “beyond rude” on the phone the other night, demands to know which roommates said he was out of line, tells her he’s not coming out to visit and then hangs up on her. Snooki doesn’t seem too bothered, though, because …

These poor Jersey Shore kids can’t catch a break! First there’s Mike, who sprains his neck bashing his own head into a brick wall and no one even feels sorry for him! He’s left to moan softly to himself in pain on the patio. Wouldn’t that be the perfect time for the pigeons to attack? But no such luck.

The eagerly awaited epic showdown between Mike and Ronnie continued this week, with an additional participant: the wall.“You wanna hit me?! You wanna hit me, tough guy?! Let’s do it!!” Mike screams at Ronnie. At least, it seemed like he was talking to Ronnie, but then he rams his own head into the wall, knocking himself to the ground. The wall was totally blindsided. Not cool, Mike!
“This isn’t funny anymore,” Jenni says, incorrectly, as she tends to Mike, dazed on the floor. And just when you think maybe Mike fell into a coma . . . he gets up and starts taunting Ronnie again (pretty sure it was Ronnie this time, though that lamp had been giving him attitude all night). And Ronnie was not about to let another inanimate object get between him and Mike again. Read PopNews »
