The Round Table

It’s starting to look like an American Idol alum takeover at the upcoming 2009 American Music Awards. Most recent American Idol finalist, Adam Lambert was previously announced as a performer at this year’s show, well, now it turns out that he’ll be joined by other AI stars including Kelly Clarkson (the original AI winner), Carrie Underwood, and Chris Daughtry.

Clarkson, Underwood, and Daughtry add to the already star-studded lineup of performers including Alicia Keys, The Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z and Jenifer Lopez. Wait, what? Jennifer Lopez is relevant again in music? Did we turn the clocks back to 2001? Is Ja-Rule performing too? I digress.

There’s also a rumor that Rihanna who had the internets all abuzz with her latest single, “Russian Roulette,” will also perform. Guess you’ll have to tune in to ABC on November 22nd to find out. One thing is for sure, Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell are laughing all the way to the bank. Keep an eye on the AMA’s official site for more announcements.

First of all, I hate Perez Hilton. He’s another example of rising to stardom on the coattails of others, while also being completely disrespectful and flat out rude. And for some reason, our society has not only made him rich off of his evil ways, but continue to enable him. Well, I’m hoping things are about to change.

I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Will.I.Am incident, where he (or his manager) allegedly punched Perez Hilton after the Much Music Awards. The sad thing is not only did this incident occur, but Perez took the opportunity to turn it into another lame attempt to plead for attention. It’s sickening.
