The second round of auditions moved the Ambition Express bus down to New Orleans, and it was yet another episode filled with oddity and wonder. Plus Randy and Steven Tyler's bare stomachs!

Hello again! Because last night's live-blog of the American Idol premiere was a success, we decided to do it again tonight. So, stop what you're doing, get in front of the television (and your computer, duh), and join us inside!

It is back! Oh sufferin' Seacrests, is it ever back. We embark upon season 10 of this tarnished talent show with a wary curiosity. So much is new, so that could be exciting. But, then again, probably not.

Hello! Did you remember that the season premiere of American Idol airs tonight? If you didn't, consider this your reminder. Because of all the shakeups for Season 10, we figured a live-blog for the premiere would be appropriate. Come in!

Today at Gawker.TV, Joan Rivers details her list of celebrity targets, Snooki and Joy Behar kiss and make up, Betty White drinks Grey Goose for her 89th birthday, and Kathie Lee and Hoda give an enthusiastic throw to commercial break.

Last night on Late Night, Steven Tyler obliged Jimmy in performing his hit "Walk This Way." It's a pretty serious rendition, and they even busted out the classic white Adidas shoes!

Former American Idol runner-up David Archuleta was caught peddling backwards on The Wendy Williams Show after he confused new judge Steven Tyler for a girl. It's fine, David. Dude looks like a lady.

The talent show's hostess, Ryan Seacrest, has confirmed on Twitter what was long rumored: The two new AI judges will be Steven Tyler of Aerosmith and Jennifer Lopez, of the block. Clearly the producers did not listen to us.

Aerosmith's singing succubus and possible American Idol judge Steven Tyler fell off the stage during the band's gig in Toronto yesterday. This slip comes a year after an on-stage topple broke his shoulder. Someone get this guy a chair!

J.Lo's assistants aren't allowed significant others or vacations. Fred Armisen dumped Elisabeth Moss for a younger SNL cast member. Montana Fishburne explains the weird spots on her butt. Naomi Campbell cheats on her taxes. Thursday gossip rules with fear.

The latest news about the revamp of the American Idol judging panel is that over-demanding J.Lo is out as a replacement for Ellen DeGeneres. Now's the time to ask: Why do we even bother having judges in the first place?

You can't believe everything you read on the internet, even when you are the one saying it. Just a few days ago, Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry declared the band through after reading of Steven Tyler's break up plans online.

This is not how rock bands are supposed to die. Bands are supposed to go out in a blaze of charred hotel suites, blood feuds and drug overdoses. Instead, Aerosmith's end came in a blog entry.
