There is a new American Idol and it’s Kris Allen. KRIS ALLEN, ladies and gentlemen.
Gotta give props to Adam Lambert because he was really a superstar all throughout the competition and he brought AI to a whole new level –singing and stage presence –wise.

Kris Allen despite missing some key notes in Kara DioGuardi’s written song, No Boundaries, triumphs as the last man standing in Season 8 of American Idol. Even if Adam did a better performance hitting the notes, I feel that Kris’ acoustic rock voice suits the song better than Adam’s mellow Aerosmith voice.
Other than the star-studded guest list that includes Kiss and Queen, Kara DioGuardi made the season finale more memorable with an epic showdown between her and “bikini girl” Katrina Darrell. Not so long ago during the auditions, Kara pointed out that Katrina didn’t hit the right notes. Katrina made a sarcastic rebuttal that distressed Kara to showing her how it’s properly done.

At the end of the singing duel, Kara unveiled her bikini body by unbuttoning her trench dress to flash a black string bikini she had on underneath. Ryan commented that by flashing the world at the end of the song, Kara won a bet and a donation to charity.

In other news, Hayden Christensen (no, not the infamous local doctor with scandalous videos) and Djimon Honsou stars in Mandrake the Magician adaptation. Anakin Skywalker of Star Wars is supposed to do the lead role in the film “Mandrake.” MTV news however reports that a representative from Hayden’s camp denies that he has anything to do with the film.
The movie co-star Djimon Honsou will follow Hayden’s character, an “underground magician and escapologist” who is approached by the CIA to do some work after “a daring escape from an SUV that has been dropped out of an plane at the Burning Man Festival. Hounsou will presumably be taking on the role of Mandrake’s assistant, Lothar. I love Djimon Honsou in Blood Diamond and I cannot wait to see another film with him in it.
The Zeitgeist and Moon movies are the two movies I want to watch soon. Have you seen Zeitgeist?
Kristen Stewart and Rupert Sanders Affair Exclusive Photos, The Cheated Robert Pattinson
It’s sad how a good movie like Snow White and the Huntsman gets overshadowed by a scandal or controversy instead of being remembered as one of the better Snow White movies ever made (sans Kristen Stewarts trademark “stuttering” meek damsel in distress acting). I totally loved Charlize Theron’s exquisite acting in her role as the “evil stepmother.”
When the news first broke out and source being US Weekly, I wasn’t sure what to believe. It’s a tabloid after all that can weave a whole web out of a small thread. They had the photos as proof, still a little sketchy but that “closeness” and the “kissing / necking in the car” photos are hard to deny. This scandal exploded with close to damning evidence on US Weekly issue. Must be painful for Robert Pattinson and he seems to be a great down-to-earth guy (yea like I can tell from watching one or two guestings on The Ellen Show… har har).

Bottom line is Kirsten Stewart cheated on Pattinson and with a married man no less! Snow White and the Huntsman Director Rupert Sanders, who has a wife and 2 children, apparently already apologized to his family profusely regretting deeply hurting them.
A statement to People, Kristen said: “I’m deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I’ve caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardized the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I’m so sorry.”
Sanders shortly came out with his own public apology / statement, “I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together.”
The photographic evidence of Sanders, 41, and Stewarts, 22, steamy encounters has been exposed and there’s no denying it. Stewart also came out with a statement on People.com apologizing to Robert and those who have affected by the affair. There is no word yet from Robert Pattinson’s camp but a close source says he’s quite crushed.
