Will Paula Abdul Join Simon Cowell's 'The X Factor'? [VIDEOS]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsPaula Abdul has made it through the first round. Everyone's favorite cantankerous Brit, Simon Cowell, told "Access Hollywood" that he's considering his former "American Idol" co-judge Abdul for a judging spot on his new talent show, "The X Factor," which debuts on Fox this fall. "I've spoken to Paula," Cowell said, adding: "We've taken it down to a smaller group of people and she's in that panel. But, you know, it's more than me who makes the decision." On "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" last night, Cowell had nothing but praise for Abdul, with whom he famously sparred during their "Idol" ...
No Cheerleaders at Super Bowl XLV -- Sad Day for Tradition
By Suzi Parker - Politics DailyConfession: I once owned a pair of pom-poms. Back in the 1970s, at age 4, it seemed the right thing to ask my parents for as a gift. The fluffy red and white pom-poms were official and expensive -- cheap just wouldn't do for my nascent cheerleading career. I shook them during college football games and at least one Super Bowl. But little girls hoping for cheering inspiration at Sunday's Super Bowl XLV game in Dallas between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers won't get it. For the first time in the Super Bowl's 45-year history, there will be no cheerleaders on the ...

Why 'American Idol's' Crystal Bowersox Has Won Me Over
By Sarah Wildman - Politics DailyDear Crystal, Win, girl, win! Single momma; soul sister; street child. Crystal Bowersox, you've won me over. For the first time in nine seasons, I'm an "American Idol" fan, and it's all because of you. Before you, I'd never turned on the program, never cared if starmaker Simon Cowell stayed or left the show, never knew if he was grumpy or nice. Never watched Paula Abdul, never noticed she was gone. (Though, if I'm honest, I do love Ellen. Of course.) I got to know Kelly Clarkson when she had hit songs, not when she sang for Fox's live audiences. I never called in. I knew Ryan Seacrest ...
Damon Weaver, 11-Year-Old Reporter, Grills President Obama
By David Knowles - Politics DailyConsider the brief journalistic career of Damon Weaver, a fifth-grader at Florida's Kathryn E. Cunningham Canal Point Elementary. Since joining his school's television station (KEC TV), he has covered the presidential election of '08 (eventually landing an interview with Joe Biden), attended the inauguration, and then gone on to snag airtime with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Colin Powell, Paula Abdul, Norah O'Donnell, David Gregory, Caroline Kennedy, Meghan Kelly, Dwayne Wade, L.L. Cool J, Jordan Sparks and Major Garrett. His high-profile interviews have been so noteworthy that Weaver himself ...
Paula Abdul Didn't Get Her Props on 'American Idol'
By Helena Andrews - Politics DailyPaula Abdul isn't coming back on "American Idol," but there's absolutely no way that judge Kara "One-Season Wonder" DioGuardi can pull an Eve Harrington in this case. (Harrington, you will recall, was the ambitious, back-stabbing understudy in the classic 1950 Hollywood film "All About Eve." ...
