American Idol "Most Hopefuls" Heading Into The Final 20
Think you know who is going to win American Idol? The oddsmakers think they do too. The folks from Paddy Power released odds this past week on who will win American Idol Season 7. Coupled with Gambling911.com's own expertise, we will produce the ultimate list.
David Archuleta - The young polite refreshing youth has more than cute looks that will make all the girls swoon. He's got an incredibly powerful voice that does not appear to be coming from this youth. He was a favorite from Day One, even before the first odds were released. Archuleta also received plenty of "on air" exposure heading into the Final 24. With a payout potential of $5 for every $2 bet, he's definitely someone we would put our money down on at one of the online gambling sites offering odds. Since Paddy Power is one of the few, he's our first choice. Savvy American Idol gamblers know to place bets on a few of the "most likely" winners at various online gambling websites (most of these will be offering American Idol betting odds as we get closer to the Final 12). There is an ironic kicker with Paddy Power. They do not accept American Idol bets from Americans.
Michael Johns - Another Idol with the "whole package". With a payout potential of $11 for every $4 bet, you gotta love Michael Johns chances - and your own payout odds. Unfortunately for the native Australian, the folks "down under" can't vote, but they can watch. He'll get enough support from the States though. Johns "got it" according to sharp-tongued judge, Simon Cowell.
Asia'h Epperson - It amazes us that this sultry performer - another one with the full package - is only listed with 10-1 odds at Paddy Power. That's a payout of $1000 for every $100 bet should she happen to win...and she's probably the most likely of the female contestants at this juncture in time. "Certainly looks the part of an Idol, and if she can improve her diction, she's a threat to go all the way," writes Michael Slezak of Entertainment Weekly
Carly Smithson - There has been a lot of hype about Carly Smithson coming into the Top 24 competition. She's the female from Ireland who previously enjoyed a record contract, that ultimately failed. Supposedly, the record company folded but her debut only sold a few hundred records. Still, she's a force - even if Simon didn't like her last week. The other judges claimed it was the best vocal yet. Not surprisingly, Carly's odds have shorted to 8-1 in her native Ireland after being listed in double digits.
Ramiele Malubay - She doesn't quite have the stage presence or the "it" factor of those above yet, but neither did last year's Idol winner, Jordin Sparks, this early in the game. What Ramiele does have is a powerful voice in a tiny little body and that will take her far into the competition. How far remains to be seen. She's listed as the favorite among the girls at Paddy with 5-1 odds.
Jason Castro - Slezak asks the million dollar question: "How do you go from invisible contestant with no pre-semifinal airtime to the week's buzz-worthiest hopeful? By taking the stage with your guitar and delivering a sweet, understated take on the Lovin' Spoonful hit ''Daydream,'' then showcasing a delightfully hippie vibe in your post-performance interview." He's listed with 8-1 odds at Paddy Power.
David Hernandez - He's not the best but he proved last week he can sing at least. Hernandez opened the show with a near flawless performance - though it was hardly something that had us on the edge of our seats. The important thing to realize here is he's listed with 50-1 odds for the potential to pay out $5000 on every $100 bet at Paddy Power. A dollar pays $50! This is the furthest the dollar might be able to go a few months from now...if only Paddy Power accepted US players.
Robbie Carrico - The jury is still out as to whether this is the new "Chris Daughtry". He's got the looks, the rocker ability and he once dated Britney Spears we've since learned. Last week's performance of "One" was memorable because we are still remembering it and couldn't get the song out of our heads. Wilst, he's a keeper.

American Idol Ladies Disappoint
American Idol on Wednesday night featured absolutely zero standout performances from the ladies. The good news is that both Brooke and Carly were at least refreshing.
Asia'h Epperson, who came into Wednesday night's show as a 15/2 favorite ended "All By Myself" brilliantly, but that hardly made up for what was in between. We later learned that Asia'h caught that nasty flu bug. The good news for her is she won't be going home this week. That ending sealed it for her and we know she's better than that.
Carly is pretty much tied as a favorite with Asia'h, listed with 7/1 odds, but again it wasn't something that really blew us out of the water like David Archuleta's performance last night. That little boy better watch there are no Tanya Harding wannabes looking to jeopardize the "main threat's" Idol chances. Nobody even came remotely close to Archuleta this week. And quite frankly there were probably four guys better than any of the girls Wednesday night.
Judge Simon Cowell was remarkably subdued under the circumstances.
There are quite a few of the girls who stand a chance of being voted off this week, so stay tuned.

Rihanna New Album To Be Released Soon
Rihanna and Joss Stone were pictured at the Max Azria 2008/2009 fall collection show during New York Fashion Week earlier today.
Although Rihanna is traveling all over to attend various events ,she found a way to be in the studios in order to prepare her upcoming album that should be released sometime this year.
She should try to pair up with Joss Stone on the LP.
Marion cotillard: the best celebrity female on academy awards 2008
8PM: Red-carpet show on ABC - Regis Philbin is hosting, with classic Philbin mania. First interview: Geroge Clooney, who is with girlfriend Sarah Lawson. Clooney hijacks the interview by asking how Notre Dame basketball did, Philbin closes out by asking for an invite to Clooney's Italian villa.
Then Shaun Robinson interviews Best Actress nominee Marion Cotillard - wearing a stunning mermaid style Jean-Paul Gaultier dress - charming and sweet. Brooke Burke speaks with John Travolta and Kelly Preston; apparently it's not the night to ask about Tom Cruise's Scientology video.
Best Actress nominee Laura Linney briefly chats to Regia, then Best Supporting Actor nominee Javier Bardem fends what must be the billionth question about the Anton Chigurh hairstyle. All these interviews are so stilted! Miley Cyrus is now talking to Regis - why? Because Hannah Montana is a Disney show, and ABC is owned by Disney. Then again, the Hannah Montana concert movie was #1 at the box office a few weeks ago.
Guh, Brooke Burke refers to Juno as the "little indie that could" when talking to Jennifer Garner. How do the folks behind Little Miss Sunshine feel? Anyway, Garner, who is excellent in Juno, gives a shout out to her stylist - and Nicole Richie's enemy - Rachel Zoe. Helen Mirren is witty and classy when chatting with Regis.
Animated Feature Oscar with Anne Hathaway
After a serious Steve Carrell realizes he's actually presenting the Animated Feature Oscar with Anne Hathaway, not Best Documentary, the pair present the Best Animated Film Oscar to Brad Bird, for Ratatouille. Brad Bird mentions his guidance counselor's doubt that he could make movies helped prepare him for the movie business. A nervous Katherine Heigl - wearing red (it's the color of the night - Anne Hathaway was also in red) presents the Best Makeup Oscar to the La Vie on Rose team - Didier Lavergne, Jan Archibald; close-up of Marion Cotillard, who looks like she's about to cry.
Where are the big categories? Traditionally the Oscars throw the viewers a bone, by presenting Best Supporting Actor or Actress early. But Jon Stewart introduces the first Best Song performance - it's Amy Adams singing the Happy Working Song from Enchanted. She sounds great, but after the great scene from the movie, with all the rodents and creatures (see it here), it's a pretty spare treatment. Can it be that we yearn for some crazy Debbie Allen dance number?
Back from commercial break, Jon Stewart tells us that the Kodak Theater attendees spend commercial breaks snarking about what the viewing audience is wearing. Then it's Dwayne "Don't Call Me The Rock Anymore" Johnson presenting the Best Visual Effects Oscar to the Golden Compass crew - Michael L. Fink, Bill Westenhofer, Ben Morris, Trevor Wood - who give a short, nice speech. Go behind the scenes production teams!

this happened might in the stage be still being organised and trained for several days before the peak night, on Sunday (24/2).
But, the behaviour affair of the celebrities behind the stage was clearly other related.the silver screen not their guarantee not nervous in the Academy Award stage.
Marion Cotillard was seen most startled when descending the stage after accepting Oscar's cup for the best actress.
He was at once welcomed by the warm embrace the actor Forest Whitaker.
They embraced almost one minute, then gazed at each other, and exploded their laughter.

The English actress only could say "wow, wow, wow,".
He in fact forgot the envelope was inscribed with his name as the winner.

The concern was also felt by Katherine Heigl.

Razzies Dress Down Lohan, Murphy
lindsay lohan expose
The Razzies excoriated the young actress, dishonoring her and her box-office flop, I Know Who Killed Me, with a record eight spray-painted trophies, including Worst Picture.
Eddie Murphy's Norbit notched three "wins," with its star a one-man band in the acting categories, winning just about everything, including Worst Supporting Actress.
Between I Know Who Killed Me and Norbit, there was room to belittle only other movie. That fate befell Daddy Day Camp, the Murphy-less followup to Daddy Day Care, named Worst Prequel or Sequel.
In scoring, if that's the word, eight Razzies, I Know Who Killed Me displaced former bad-movie standard-bearers Showgirls and Battlefield Earth, which "won" seven each.
Compared to Showgirls and Battlefield Earth, two infamous, high-profile disasters, I Know Who Killed Me was a little film, quietly and quickly dying at the box office late last summer. Only Lohan's drug-related arrest three days before its opening briefly put the critically dismissed movie in the spotlight.
But there is no such thing as flying below the Razzies' radar. Some 750 voting members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation piled it on I Know Who Killed Me. Among the film's "honors" were: Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay and, owing to the group's belief that the movie was a badly played riff on Hostel, Saw and, um, The Patty Duke Show, Worst Remake or Rip-Off.
Lohan took her lumps, too. The two biggest: She was named Worst Actress and Worst Actress—once for playing a kidnap victim named Aubrey and once again for a stripper named Dakota, who looked like Aubrey.

Paris Hilton : Hooks Up with a Madden
According to Life & Style, Paris Hilton recently began dating Benji Madden. Paris reportedly met Benji through BFF Nicole Richie, who is engaged to Benji’s twin brother Joel. Paris and Benji hooked up shortly after he ended his engagement to Sophie Monk.
Life and Style magazine reports Madden and Hilton were inseparable when they met up at a party at Los Angeles nightclub Villa on Thursday night.
A source tells the publication, “When she saw Benji, she only had eyes for him. She walked over and gave him a huge kiss. It was over the top and lots of tongue was involved.
“They hibernated in a corner booth… The entire time, she stroked his arm and rubbed his leg as she whispered in his ear.”

The PURE nightclub in Las Vegas is being investigated by the IRS
Sources in Vegas said IRS agents arrived at the hot spot this week and “took some laptops. It is serious.” An insider said, “Ever since articles came out about how much profit the Las Vegas clubs are making, the IRS has been sniffing around. This won’t be the only place they are looking at closely.” A rep for the club - which pays “celebs” like Paris Hilton large sums to make appearances - said, “Pure Management Group is fully cooperating with this IRS investigation and looks forward to a quick and satisfactory resolution. Until that time, we will have no further comment.”
Nicole's Post-Baby Slimming Secret
Nicole Richie may be living life to the fullest since the Jan. 11 birth of baby daughter Harlow Winter, but you would never know by looking at her post-baby body.
The 26-year-old first-time mom has been showing off her slim but healthy physique, most recently a Grammys afterparty and at the opening of the Broad Contemporary Art Museum on Feb. 9, where the Simple Life star looked so svelte it's hard to believe she gave birth only weeks ago.
The star's slimming secret isn't some miracle diet or fitness routine, but waist-cinching undergarment Spanx!
"She sometimes wears two pairs at a time," a pal of Nicole reveals to OK!. And while the new mom is keeping this secret from the public, her fiancé Joel Madden, 28, is all too familiar with them. "He'll help her find them in her closet if they're running late," says the friend. "But he thinks she looks great just the way she is."

Kate Beckinsale Is So Hot In Allure Magazine
who is kate beckinsale ? Kate Beckinsale graces the March cover of Allure magazine. In the issue she talks about her gorgeous hubby Len, her accidental movie career, and why she almost quit to become a doctor. Here are some highlights from the interview:
On her job:
"Acting requires so much delving into yourself and exposing yourself, so it's sensible to be wondering, Do I still want to be doing this? But I enjoy the work, and everything is so solid at home. I don't care if they say I've had buttock implants. Or not. I don't care. Go ahead! That's the nice thing about getting to the age I am. I could have said I didn't care before—but secretly I did. And now I really don't."
On considering quitting acting to become a doctor:
"I was at the point where I was wondering whether the work I was doing was sustaining me intellectually. I'd had enough of the ludicrous questions. Like, 'Have you had your boobs done?' or 'Have you slept with Colin Farrell?'"
On struggling with her career:
"I sort of ended up in Los Angeles by accident. And it was sort of terrible to be jostled into this position of a fame-hungry starlet. Which is so honestly not me! In fact, I could use a bit more of that because I am such a hermit! So I allowed myself to get really bothered."
On her husband, Len Wiseman:
"I have a husband who lit-erally worships me. And cleans the house. And blow-dries my daughter's hair."
SHAKIRA IS COMING OUT WITH BEAUTY LINE
Pop singer Shakira is to become the latest celebrity to launch a beauty line.The superstar is to team up with bosses at Puig to create a new fragrance and beauty products collection.

Spencer Pratt Has Heidi Montag Under His Thumb
SLIPPERY reality “star” Spencer Pratt continues to have a Svengali-like grip on surgically enhanced girlfriend Heidi Montag. Pratt, known best for feuding with Lauren Conrad on MTV’s “The Hills,” is now Montag’s manager. He not only produced her horrendous album, he shot the videos as well, to ensure he alone gets any money from the bottled blonde’s efforts. Pratt is also in talks with producers at a rival network for their own reality show centered on the couple’s lives - and Pratt is in charge. “I overheard them talking with the producer but he would not let [Montag] speak,” said a Page Six spy who saw the duo at Electronic Arts’ party for its video game “Burnout Paradise” at One Sunset in LA last Tuesday. “He was talking about opportunities for them and candidly milking every ounce of press at the expense of Heidi. Meanwhile, she looked out of it and stared at the ground while chewing on her gum and let her boyfriend do the speaking for both of them.” The couple then sat in a corner booth playing each other on the “Burnout Paradise” video game for two hours and sipped champagne.
Happy Birthday Rihanna
The Umbrella singer - who doesn’t turn 20 until Wednesday - was partying with friends including Kanye West and actor Wilmer Valderrama at Los Angeles’ Les Deux nightclub when the food fight began on Tuesday night.
An onlooker said: “There was cupcake frosting all over Rihanna’s face and the group was hysterically laughing to the point of almost tears!”
Chris Brown, who is rumoured to be dating Rihanna, was later given a standing ovation after he sang her an acapella version of Happy Birthday.
Despite Chris insisting he and Rihanna are “just friends”, onlookers at the exclusive club said the pair were “cuddling and acting very cosy all night”.
