Video: Arjan Chats With Blake Lewis
I had a chance to catch up with American Idol alumn Blake Lewis earlier this week to casually discuss his brand-new album, " Heartbreak on Vinyl ." The record is a compilation of hot electro and pop tunes that the Seattle singer wrote and produced with people like Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic) and Dave Aude. Make sure to give this record a spin if you're looking for some catchy synth pop with a dance floor attitude. Also, preview and download an exclusive maxi EP of the album's...

Blake Lewis challenges Season 9 beatboxer to a battle
It was the beatbox dis heard across the "Idol" world. Orlando contestant Jay Stone, who auditioned for the judges with a left-of-center version of The Beatles' "Come Together," told judge Randy Jackson he deserved a golden ticket to Hollywood just as much as Season 6's Blake Lewis because he can beatbox and sing at the same time -- snap! So, of course, we reached out to Blake for a reaction, and he responded with a good-natured challenge. "This week on...

Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell: 'Idol' brain Fuller claims hunt for Cowell's replacement already on!
Although, the call taken by 'American Idol' regular Simon Cowell, to step away from the widely popular television musical talent hunt show upon the completion of the current season, would have come as a shock to the legions of 'Idol' fans who had come to hold him as near synonymous with the TRP busting fare, the creators, it would appear are already looking ahead. And as per latest reports, it is learned that the hunt for Cowell's replacement has already begun in earnest.

Los Angeles – The search for a new " American Idol " judge to replace Simon Cowell next season is quickly taking on epic proportions. British mogul Simon Fuller , who created the template for the U.S. show with "Pop Idol" in the U.K., says there's been a global outpouring of celebrity interest in the job.

Who Should Replace Simon Cowell on American Idol?
Simon Cowell is leaving American Idol after this season. This news is very sad for those of us who appreciate Simon's sarcasm, wit, honesty and entertainment value as a whole. But it also offers an opportunity for Idol to truly branch out. Sure, Ellen DeGeneres as a judge (starting February 9) is a departure from the show's typical, music-driven basis for selecting its panelists. However, we're talking about change fans can truly believe in... ... which brings us to our first proposed...

Idol 411: Simon Cowell's best season premiere put-downs
Former "Posh Spice" Victoria Beckham, or "V," as she apparently goes by now, made a surprisingly sweet and likable guest judge, once you got past wondering how a 35-year-old woman could have such skinny arms. Kara seemed more comfortable and confident than last season in her role playing the part of a younger, sassier, more lucid Paula Abdul, even stepping into Simon territory when she told one particularly annoying contestant: "I don't like you … at all." And Randy was … Randy.

Simon Cowell Leaves American Idol
It's official - this season of American Idol will be the last for Simon Cowell. Now that he's launching The X Factor in America, which is set to debut on 2011, Simon will be busy serving as executive producer and judge. As for AI, it may have met its doom considering that FOX has picked up The X Factor for broadcast, yet the network is planning 3 more seasons of AI. Although it seems like the same show, the difference is that X Factor split the talent into 4 groups and each one is...
