James Durbin: Shocked by American Idol Elimination


James Durbin has to be honest: he didn't see his elimination coming on Thursday night.

The aspiring rocker tells MTV he "definitely" was surprised by the development, and has spent the time since remember why he originally auditioned.

"It's for my family and to try and give a voice to a genre of music that seems like it's slowly fading away," Durbin says. "I really accomplished a lot on the show, and I'm grateful for the opportunity."

Farewell, James Durbin

We all saw James fight back tears after learning of his fate, but he's now accepted it. And is excited about all the future has in store.

"I haven't failed at all," he said. "This is just the beginning.

Lady Gaga is back on the market. The "Judas" singer announced on the BBC's "Graham Norton Show" that she is no longer dating longtime beau, New York bartender and diet book author Luc Carl. In an episode airing Friday night (May 12), Gaga appears on the show in an avant-garde wedding gown and confesses, "I'm not dating. No, there's no boyfriend. I'm miserably pathetic in my wedding dress."

"I haven't been on any dates recently because I have been working so hard and I get very bored very quickly with men. I guess they would get freaked out by this wedding dress," Gaga said, according to The Daily Mirror.

Gaga and Carl dated before she became an international sensation several years ago when she was performing on the Lower East Side, where he bartended, but they later split. They subsequently rekindled their romance, and Gaga reportedly told Grazia magazine that Luc Carl changed her views on sex.

"I never actually enjoyed sex until two years ago. It was a proper monogamous relationship in which I felt free enough to trust and I had enough self-love," she explained. "Sex is the ultimate expression of vulnerability, and for me it was important to know that it was a proper relationship so it was sex as a source of love and nothing else."

In a recent interview with E! News, Gaga opened up about her single "Judas" and how it was inspired by some of the loves in her life. She explained that the tune is "essentially about me going back to an ex-boyfriend and still being in love with someone that betrayed me, someone that was bad for me."

Alcohol Claims Lead to CPS Visit For Mariah

Child Protective Services apparently made a visit this week to the hospital where Mariah Carey is recovering from giving birth to twins, but it appears the whole thing was a misunderstanding. Perhaps the worst way to start off your new journey as a mother is by being questioned by child welfare investigators. Sadly, that?s exactly how Mariah began her career as a new mom, thanks to a few calls the agency received claiming that there could be drug and alcohol use at the hospital. Nick appeared on CNN to clear it up, saying that a nurse actually suggested to Mariah that she could drink Guinness to help with breast-feeding. He said that the whole thing could have been a sting-style set-up, or just a matter of someone misinterpreting what actually happened. TMZ has the rest of the story.

So a Lady and Her Monkey Walk Into a Petsmart...

I went to Petsmart yesterday to get some things for little Mary Margaret, and while I was pulling into the parking lot, I passed a lady getting out of her car with a monkey on her shoulders.

Of course I came to a screeching halt because there was a lady getting our of her car WITH A MONKEY ON HER SHOULDERS, and that's just something you don't see every day.

I proceeded to take a photo...

...but then thought it would be better to capture the craziness on video, so here it is:

Lady and Her Monkey Go to Petsmart from Karyn Bosnak on Vimeo.

 

When I told Mark about the lady and her monkey and showed him my movie, he said, "You really are crazy." I was like, "I'm crazy? THE MONKEY WAS WEARING A DIAPER AND PEARLS."

I mean, for real, let's put this into perspective.

Anywho, here's another photo of the lady and her monkey at the checkout counter:

I realize I now have one cat and two dogs, but at least I don't walk around with a monkey on my shoulders. (Yet.)
