The country bumpkin walked away with the US$1 million prize and a contract for his own Las Vegas headlining show after beating cancer-survivor and soprano Barbara Padilla.

During the finale Shakira wowed the audience as she performed her new hit single She-Wolf.

The sexy star shook her hips and even straddled a speaker as she hit the stage.

Simon Cowell, pushing the big 5-0, is copping some more flak.

Singer Katy Perry has lashed out at the star judge for his brutally honest approach to the would-be aspirations of the hundreds of reality TV contestants that stand before him.

Cowell must just be recovering from the comment that his fashion sense was “boring” from fellow X Factor judge and style princess Dannii Minogue.

Now Perry has told a film crew: “As much as he’s an a**hole he’s a very truthful, honest a**hole.”

Cowell, 49, was said to have reacted to the comment by saying: “She’s definitely got her own opinion. She’s a feisty solo artist and I like that.”

Piers was – almost – speechless after Nick told the girls that they hadn’t made it through to the semis on [...]]]> Brit judge Piers Morgan blasted host Nick Cannon on America’s Got Talent, telling him “You’re the mean one!” after he tricked girl group The EriAm Sisters into thinking they had been voted off the show.

Piers was – almost – speechless after Nick told the girls that they hadn’t made it through to the semis on NBC’s Tuesday night show, then told they had – causing them all to burst into tears.

Afterwards, Nick laughed as he told the girls: “Gotcha!”

Piers then said: “That’s a mean trick you just played, Nick Cannon.

“You’re meaner than me and you call me the bad one. My God!”

David Hasselhoff was thrilled the girls got through with fellow singer Drew Stevyns.

The Hoff stood up and shouted at Nick: “You’re the man!”

Nick tried to defend himself saying: “I’m just doing what it says on the cards.”

Simon Cowell says he would “absolutely not” stay on American Idol if the show slipped from its number one spot on US TV.

The 49-year-old makes his shocking admission as he tops The Hollywood Reporter’s Reality Power List.

Cowell, who heads his own company Syco Television, is just one of four high-profile Brits on the 50-person list that includes Simon Fuller, Gordon Ramsay and Nigel Lythgoe.

The TV judge says: “Being number one is verging on an obsession with me.

“I don’t accept the argument of fragmentation or declining numbers. The Super Bowl goes up every year.”

Despite this admission, Cowell still toys with the idea of leaving American Idol when his contract runs out.

“The idea that for the next five years I’d be doing exactly what I’ve been doing for the past five years … the thought is just too depressing,” he says.

“You have to evolve, you have to change.”

Cowell reportedly earns $36 million a year to do American Idol.

Chris Cornell went on the record with Billboard.com that he really liked David Cook?s rendition of ?Billie Jean? on American Idol last week ? especially because he did it first. In his interview, the rocker admits that the Idol wannabe ?sang it great? but then adds that ?it was literally a note-for-note take on what I came up with.? And they say Cook is an original. While Chris was given credit for the innovative arrangement on the show, Idol?s imitation also pays Chris off as his cover of ?Billie Jean? has jumped to #12 on iTunes. And by the way, Doxology was finally given credit for their version of ?Eleanor Rigby? which Cook also sang.

It?s not the Oscar?s but Justin Timberlake is still hosting some type of award show. It has just been confirmed recently that JT will be hosting the annual ESPY Awards show this summer. The ceremony will take place in Los Angeles at the Nokia Theatre on July 20th. The ESPYs celebrate the best and funniest moments in sports throughout the year. Of the job, Justin said ?I’ll do my best to deliver a great show, as I do not want to be roughed up backstage by these athletes who are bigger, faster and stronger than me.? I?m betting Justin was just named the host to get more of a female audience to watch.
But, hey, whatever works!
