"The Two Coreys"

Corey Haim and Corey Feldman will star in a new reality series called none other than, "The Two Coreys".

The former child stars, both 35, were the teenage heartthrobs of the 1980's.

Now the pair will be reuniting for a reality television show in which the two Corey's and Feldman's wife live together. The show premieres in just over a month.

Besides both being child stars, the two Corey's have battled with drug and alcohol addiction in the past.

Says Feldman of his friend, "It was my belief that he was kind of a young doe lost amongst the wildebeests, and that we might never hear from him again until he ended up on the news. So the fact he actually suited up and came to the table and got his act together blew me away."

Corey Haim says working with Feldman has been a joy and that the two have gotten close once again, but that sometimes it's not easy living with the Feldman's.

"He does everything with his wife. It's like, 'Cut the umbilical cord, man...' It's a little overboard for my tastes, but that's just me being the jealous friend. I love Susan. It's just that I hate the fact that she's changed him so drastically... for the better."

Jordin Sparks Is This Years 'American Idol'

This seasons American Idol wrapped up with Jordin Sparks being crowned as the winner.

The season finale was loaded with Hollywood icons such as Bette Midler, Tony Bennett and Smokey Robinson.

I enjoyed the season finale more than I thought I would. Maybe it was the 'Memorial Day Weekend is almost here' shots of tequila I had, or maybe it was actually good.

Here are the highlights and lowlights of this years season finale of American Idol.

Gwen Stefani started off the show, and she was alright. I love Gwen, but she hasn't changed her game up any in some time. Her performance was mediocre and the song was boring. I fast forwarded my DVR.
Sorry Gwen..


Kelly Clarkson was amazing everytime she sang. I loved her Alanis Morrisette-like girl anthem that she sang with passion. It was angsty and rebellious. I loved it. I became a fan of Kelly's tonight just with that performance. Kelly looked great tonight despite recent photos of her looking a bit heavier. Thank God for corsets. Her hem could've used a couple more inches in length but she owned that stage and commanded your attention. Love ya Kels.

Doug E. Fresh and Blake Lewis beat-boxing together was amazing. I am a huge fan of old school rap so I was psyched to hear the two challenge each other to a beat-box breakdown. If Blake ever impressed me it was tonight in this performance. He held his own with schooled rapper Fresh, and brought a nice mix of new school melded with old school, turned into a fresh mix of sound that everyone can enjoy. It was hot, and might possibly be my favorite American Idol performance ever.

American Idol brought back Jonathan and Kenneth, the 'bush baby' and the chubby kid in the Hawaiian shirt from Seattle to give them an award. (What award was it?)

I thought it was great that AI brought these two back after publicly ridiculing them and mocking their appearance. It seems the publicity has brought many good things to these two and they seemed grateful. Kenneth, the one who Simon proclaimed as the 'bush baby' said to Simon,

"If you hadn't said what you said, I wouldn't be where I'm at."

Right on brother. I'm glad something good came out of it. Being called a bush baby on national television would have thrown me off the deep end. I'm happy to see it worked out.

Amidst all the excitement tonight I realized tonight what it was about Jordin Sparks that bugged me. It is her drop jaw. Every time someone complimented her, or the camera was focused on her, she dropped her jaw and displayed an open mouthed smile.

That's it! That's what bugged me about her all season. It just seemed fabricated and staged. It took me until tonight to pinpoint what quirk of hers bothered me, but that was it. And she did it all night long. The moment I realized it was when she and Blake were given the keys to their new Mustangs.

Next it was the African Childrens Choir who were just darling. I last saw them on Leno just before Christmas and I never forgot them. I was thrilled to see them on tonight's AI finale.

Sanjaya and Joe Perry. The introduction leading up to Sanjaya's performance was awesome. It made you want to see Sanjaya, it made you anticipate his performance. And then he sang and reminded us why we hated him all season long. Oh Sanjaya.

Bette Midler was da bomb of course. She may be aging and all, but I love her and felt it was a treat to have someone of her status performing on American Idol of all places. I'll take a performance of hers anyway I can get it. Love you Bette.

Then it was time for the past American Idol's to perform songs off of the Beatle's 'Sgt. Pepper' album.

Taylor Hicks was great. I loved him last year and he did good tonight as I enjoyed his performance.

Then there was Carrie Underwood. I thought she was awful. Sorry, but she was was off key in the beginning. I fast forwarded my DVR to Rueben Studdard who did much better.

After that it went to commercial. There were 10 minutes left in the finale. The announcement of this years American Idol was up next and I was ready to see who it was. Unfortunately for me, the show went over time (or something?) and my DVR cut off at the last set of commercials. So I was reduced to getting online and reading who the winner was. Boy, that really ruined the experience.

So from what I read Jordin was crowned the winner. Which is no surprise to me. Once she cried last night i knew she had it in the bag. Blake, if you could have mustered up some tears you might have had a shot.

All in all though, Jordin was the better singer and deserved it. She's just lucky that Melinda Doolittle didn't make it that far.

Who Should Be This Years America Idol?

Opinion Polls & Market Research

Melinda Doolittle Voted Off American Idol

This is why I prefer the beginning of the American Idol season versus the end.

Melinda Doolittle should have been the winner of this years American Idol. She was clearly the strongest, best and most consistent singer.

But you know how AI works. 90% of the people who actually vote are below the age of 17. Doolittle isn't the ultra chic, young spirit that the kids are looking for. She's an old soul, a timeless classic..that's why she lost.

I like Blake, but c'mon. He is not even close to being a great singer. Sure, he is entertaining, original and to some cute, but ehh..

Jordin is a great singer even though she is only seventeen years-old. At this point I think she will and should win the competition. But I thought for sure that Doolittle was the going to be the winner hands down, so what do I know?

I don't know why I am surprised. Last year I thought Chris Daughtry should have won, and I still think he was the best last year.

What do you think Smackaholics? Are you as shocked as I am about Melinda Doolittle?


Please take Celebrity Smack's blog reader survey! It's a great time killer!

For Those Who Watch Survivor..

Enjoy your truck, bitch!

Chris Robinson and Phil Stacey Speak About Their Time on American Idol

Chris Robinson and Phil Stacey were both eliminated this week on American Idol, the first double elimination ever in the show's history.

Entertainment Tonight spoke with the two Idol finalists and asked them about their relationships, their futures and who they think will walk away as this years American Idol.

ET: Was there a specific performance where the reaction from the judges surprised you?

PHIL: My big surprise came [during] country week. I am more in my comfort zone in country music, but I was so used to getting the critical feedback that when Randy was, "Dude, you were good this week," I was, "Really? Sweet!" That was the one time that my reaction was really surprised.

CHRIS: I remember back in the earlier rounds, I didn't think "Geek in the Pink" would go over too well with the judges. I went out there skeptical. I thought, "Would they like something different?" I went out there and did it. They seemed to really love it. I am glad I did that now.

ET: We know Phil is married, but Chris, are you dating anyone? We heard you might be seeing Lauren Conrad?

CHRIS: I just got out of a three-and-a-half year relationship back home. That's about it. All the other stuff is just rumors. Those people are just my friends and acquaintances. I am pretty much single right now, but still respecting the fact that I got out of a relationship with my girlfriend.

ET: Phil, your commitment to the Navy goes through October 2008. Do you know for sure if you will be able to go on the "American Idol" tour?

PHIL: My primary responsibility is to the United States Navy. The possibility exists that they will need me for a mission. If that is the case, I am committed to following through with my commitment to the Navy. So far, they have been 100 percent flexible with me with "American Idol." They have been gems. They are a huge support base for me. I give the Navy all the props in the world for letting me do what I have done this far.

ET: What song do you want to sing on the tour?

CHRIS: I haven't thought that far ahead. I have a lot of songs in the database. I've just got to figure out which one will best suit the style of music I will be coming out with on my album.

PHIL: I think if I get the opportunity to do the tour, I would really like to do something -- the "Idol Gives Back" thing really changed my life. I think one thing I want to do is be a positive influence on people, and a role model of sorts. I think as a Navy guy, I would like to go out and do something patriotic like "God Bless the U.S.A.", something to represent the Navy and be a unifying factor for us as Americans.

ET: Chris, how was it that you and Blake became so close?

CHRIS: It started in Hollywood. It was just one of those things where we clicked. We had a lot in common: music taste and music style, personality traits, and loyalty and friendship. It was just one of those things where we bonded.

ET: Chris, you had such unique looks on this show -- where did you get your clothes? Were they your own, or did you go shopping?

CHRIS: We would go shopping. I don't remember the names [of the stores]. I remember seeing things and liking it. Sometimes the outfits would go together and sometimes they wouldn't, but it was on purpose that I did that. When I shopped, I tried to fit my style and the theme of the week.

ET: Who do you see as the current frontrunner to become the next "American Idol"?

PHIL: I think the four people who are left have individual strengths that set them apart. Blake is most likely the most original contestant ever on "American Idol." He blew it out this week with Bon Jovi. Melinda is possibly the greatest singer I have ever heard on the show. Lakisha sings with so much passion, it is hard not to get chills. Jordin has a range that lasts for days. Her upper notes have so much power behind them. I think it is anybody's ballgame at this point.

CHRIS: I feel the same exact way.

Dustin Diamond is a Fat Loser

If you watch 'Celebrity Fit Club' you are probably totally disgusted with Dustin Diamond just like I am.

This has-been child actor had the balls to slam other cast members, questioning their celebrity status like he is some big A-lister. I don't think this jackass realizes that he is a nobody in Hollywood himself.

No wonder none of his castmates liked him.

"I don't hold it against anybody not to like Dustin Diamond," Celebrity Fit Club 5 executive producer Richard Hall told the New York Post about the one-time teenage TV star. "I'm sorry to say that, but it's true. He came in with a very contrarian agenda. He took shots at everybody. He would imitate the other cast members and mock them."

Dustin also went on and on about his sex tape and took the opportunity to tell his castmates that he is 'packing heat'. Then he wondered why no one wanted to listen to what he had to say.

Supposedly he will walk off the show on next weeks episode and I say Amen! Let that fat loser go home and return to his pathetic existence. I can't even love to hate the guy.

Stefani Schaeffer Winner of 'The Apprentice' Talks About Her Victory

Stefani Schaeffer won this season's The Apprentice Sunday night and this morning appeared on Regis and Kelly.

Schaeffer talked about her tactics, the editing of the show and her finale partner James Sun.

"When you're in a [team] group like Arrow [Corporation], you have some boisterous characters like [Frank Lombardi], who's from the Bronx; and [Nicole D'Ambrosio], from Chicago; and [James Sun], from Seattle, so they're all very loud. So I knew I wasn't going to win with bravado," Schaeffer said on this morning's Live with Regis and Kelly.

"I think that the editors do a really good job of showing you for really who you are. I think that we were all portrayed to be exactly how we are, except that they can edit you out, so you're not shown as much. So people probably thought that I'm far more quiet than I really am."

"I was very relaxed because going into the finale, I really thought James had it," she explained. "I thought that Mr. Trump was very fond of James, and I thought Mr. Trump would be saying, 'James you're hired.' And so I wasn't nervous at all because I figured well I'm going to go out and just argue for the fun of it and have a good time and congratulate James, who I respect and care about very much."

"I was shocked," she said of the win.

"I'm looking at this as a segue into the construction industry," said Schaeffer. "I think that bringing my legal background into it... the fact of the matter is, I am a lawyer. I defended developers in construction defect litigation, so I think that I'm not really leaving law. I'm just bringing law into construction and refocusing on construction."

When asked about her partner James Sun she replied, "I would hire James, like I told Mr. Trump. If he gives me a budget and says you can hire someone, I will call James."

Sanjaya Malakar Speaks About His Time on American Idol

People Magazine talked with Sanjaya Malakar after his dismissal on last night's American Idol.

He spoke about being in the competition and having to to withstand the criticism that went with it.

People: What do you think turned the tide for you on Tuesday night?

Sanjaya: Honestly, I'm not a country singer. I think that that really took a toll on me. And I didn't have enough really strong performances to let people forgive me for that. Like, for example, LaKisha, she's not necessarily a country singer either, but she had enough strong performances to get her though – and I don't think I did.

What have you learned most as a result of being thrust into fame like this?

I think I've learned not to let any negativity get you – just to keeping on trucking, I guess. And try to find the positive in everything.

What would you say to Simon?

Well, from the beginning I think that Simon saw potential in me, and when I didn't fulfill that potential, he was kind of disappointed. So I just want to say to him that he's an amazing person, and what he does is awesome. He's very opinionated, but I learned more from him than anyone else while I was on the show.

Is it true that you had a habit of reading the online blogs to gauge your performance? What kind of an affect did that have?

Well, I read the blogs more to balance myself, because it was kind of impossible not to hear stuff, and often times it was negative. So I kind of balanced the negative and the positive just to keep my self grounded.

Was it frustrating for you that your hair got almost more attention than your singing?

No, because at a certain point, that had kind of became my thing. Because I think that everyone looks for something to grab on to with each contestant, so I feel like my hair was that for me.

With all the hair and the hats and everything, was your philosophy at a certain point just to go for broke?

My philosophy was just to stay true to myself and try to put my personality out there – and that's all.

You had the sense that the tide was against you. Did you ever consider quitting or dropping out in deference to your fellow singers?

Not at all, not at all. I was going to stay as long as I possibly could and just work every week and try to learn from everything that happened.

How did you react when Hillary Clinton was asked about you at a news conference?

I heard about that very briefly. And it's interesting because I had no idea how much impact the show has. I think it's interesting that someone like me, a 17-year-old Seattle boy, could have so much impact to get into the presidential debate.

What will you do next?

I'm definitely looking at a music career but I also want to venture into acting and modeling and possibly Broadway or something because I want to get the full entertainment business.

With the pros and cons of celebrity, are you thinking about getting a bodyguard?

Yeah, I'm definitely ready to hire a bodyguard. I'm actually looking to do that right now.

American Idol Exeutive Producer Gives The Scoop On the Remaining Finalists

Entertainment Tonight spoke with the executive producer of American Idol, Ken Warwick, after the dismissal of Sanjaya Malakar.














ET: Do you think your numbers will suffer now that Sanjaya Malakar was voted out? Do you think people tuned in for the train wreck?

KEN WARWICK: To be honest, touch wood, we are big enough that the ratings don't actually bother us that much at this stage. We know that we are bigger than anybody else. We know we are up over last year. That is not likely to change. If [the ratings] dropped considerably, there would be a reason for us to agonize over them. If we got bogged down in the ratings, then we would be chasing ourselves around a tree, so we don't pay that much attention to it.

ET: Did Sanjaya cheapen the show?

KEN: Irrespective of what effect he [had] on the show, he was there because people at home voted for him.

ET: Because of the Sanjaya effect, would you ever considering splitting the vote like they do on "Dancing with the Stars," where the judges vote counts 50 percent?

KEN: No. I will never consider that. That is not a part of our format. As far as we are concerned, it is the public at home that picks the Idol. There has never been a case where they have never been able to skew the vote one way or another. We had 38 million votes this week. Even the biggest radio shows are a drop in the ocean and will not be able to sway the votes.

ET: What is your reaction to Ryan Seacrest supporting the contestants more this year?

KEN: I love it. One of the attractions, if you like, people say to me, "Why is this show so popular?" A very relevant point is that there is quite curt banter between the judges and Ryan. Ryan is always there to support the contestants no matter what the situation. He is not a judge. He is there to champion their song and the way that they sing it. If he feels they are being bullied by any of the judges, it is part of his mandate, "You step in there and you defend them, if you think it is right."

ET: Do you feel that the judges are steering voters toward Jordin Sparks?

KEN: I have to say, when they can, they always tell the truth. They have also been pretty supportive of Melinda Doolittle every week. I don't think it is any more than anybody else who is good. They call it the way they see it. Had they had any kind of agenda of making Jordin one of the frontrunners, they would have started earlier. In the past few weeks, she has impressed them. With all these shows, you find generally, it is the person who grows throughout the series that usually wins the benefit in the end of it. I think they realized the one contestant who has consistently grown -- Melinda has been good every week, Lakisha has been pretty good every week, but Jordin has grown. It gives them something to talk about. Jordin is someone who they can hook into it. It gives them more credibility.

ET: Do you think that Melinda is too mature to win the competition?

KEN: She is more mature, to be honest with you, but the fact of the matter is, it isn't my decision, it is the publics. If they think she is fine and they want to see her again and they vote for her, then she is going to be there. I long ago gave up worrying what my personal favorites were. Last year, I loved Kat McPhee. She was just a really, really talented all-arounder. I would have loved her to win, but it wasn't to be. There was somebody there that was a bit quirky and he was the winner. End of story. What I think is immaterial, really.

Sanjaya Gave Us Something To Talk About

Sanjaya Malakar was finally voted off American Idol tonight.

But he certainly didn't lose.































Sanjaya has made his mark on pop culture history. With the crazy hairstyles, the soft spoken voice, and the hot sister. 'Sanjaya' became a household name in 2007. And the Ponyhawk, a new hairstyle.

Sanjaya was the inspiration for a slew of new websites, he was talked about on every major media outlet in the nation, and he made the girls cry.

Now that the door to American Idol has closed, I have a feeling many other doors will open for the kid. But not necessarily in the music industry..heh.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: You've no one but the Devil's lawyer to blame for this androgynous American Idol stowaway, who, despite being detested by the judges, somehow remains in the hunt for the show's coveted prize as this year's top 40 footnote.

We stopped watching after the auditions (the only digestible part of the show), but it's our understanding that we have Sanjina to thank for the "ponyhawk," a hair-novation destined to tickle your underarm as you noogie hordes of copycat hipsters.

This Weeks 'Bad Girls Club' on Oxygen

We ended last weeks episode with Zara making cupcakes for her roommates after tearing up her wrists for sympathy.

Wow, talk about bipolar.

Aimee was more than brash about the incident stating that would show her how to really 'do it', (slit her wrists). Not that we would expect anything else from her. All she does every episode is bitch and moan about everyone behind their backs.

Jodie convinced Zara to stay in the house and things moved on.

Kerry, the rat bitch country singer, and Jodie used to be great friends..until Deann moved in. Now Jodie is feeling like the third wheel and neither Kerry or Deann seem to really give a crap.

Deann and Steve, the wiry haired pool boy who always covers his bald spot up with a bandanna, have been hanging out a lot. Deann obviously has feelings for him until she sees him out clubbing and hanging all over some other chick. Deann goes on to hang all over some random guy (lamest trick in the book) hoping it will make Steve jealous.

The show wraps up with Steve going the extra mile to ask Deann for her forgiveness. Even if I think he's a putz, what he did to impress her at the end of the show was really cool. It HAD to have totally been staged.

Last weeks episode:


Tonight's episode is all about Kerry and Jodie. Kerry heads to Nashville for a big meeting and Jodie wants out of the house. There will lots of drama, and most of it will be aimed at Jodie. Jodie and Joanna will bond, and surprisingly, Joanna will protect Jodie until the end..even when Jodie does something that shocks the house.

Watch tonight! 10pm/9c

Sanjaya's Hometown Refuses to Give Him His Own Day

Sanjaya’s hometown of Federal Way, Washington has no interest in recognizing him with his own day, unlike Blake Lewis who was awarded with his own day in his home town of Bothell, WA. April 11 has been named as Blake Lewis day.

It doesn't appear that the city of Federal Way will do the same for Sanjaya Malakar, despite his becoming one of America's current obsessions.

Q13 Fox reports, “That city's manager says Federal Way has more important things to deal with and won't push to give the 17-year old a proclamation.”

If I were Sanjaya, I wouldn't be too hurt. Federal Way is a real shit hole suburb of Seattle, so I believe that they do have other things to deal with. Things like armed robbery, car jackings and shootings.

And yes, I have been there.
