“For these people, Kristen deserves all the bad things that have been thrown at her because she had an amazing life and she ruined it.”

Move over, Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. Ace Young just stole your spotlight.
About a half hour prior to American Idol announcing its season 11 champion tonight, Young and Diana DeGarmo – who met during a production of Hair – were called on to the stage by Ryan Seacrest.
Young then got down on one knee, and in a proposal/product placement for Dave Webb Jewelry, said to his live-in girlfriend:

Through tears, DeGarmo accepted!

At this stage, it’s difficult to be shocked by any elimination on American Idol.
Only five contestants remained heading into tonight, and all are quite talented, and all enjoyed mostly strong performances on Wednesday. Still, we didn’t see this ousting coming, not once Phillip was deemed safe… and Joshua… and Jessica…
It had to be Hollie going home, right?
Nope. Over 60 million votes were cast and the finalist who America sent packing was… Skylar Laine!
Yes, she struggled with “Fortunate Son,” but enough to get the boot? You tell us: Did Skylar deserve to go home at this point?

Ashley Judd says medication caused her face to appear puffy lately, not plastic surgery as many assumed – and she’s far from pleased that people assumed that.
The Missing star wrote in The Daily Beast:
“The Conversation about women’s bodies exists largely outside of all of us, while it is also directed at (and marketed to) us, and used to define and control us.”
“The Conversation about women happens everywhere. We are described and detailed, our faces and bodies analyzed and picked apart, our worth ascertained and ascribed based on the reduction of personhood to simple physical

Whose name was called at the conclusion of the latest results show? Did the judges use the power of their save to keep this individual around? You’re seconds away from the answer…
Following performances by Nicki Minaj and Scotty McCreery, Hollie Cavanagh, Sklyar Laine and Heejan Han stood in the bottom three. Hollie was the first to be told she was safe, leading to the announcement moments later that Han would be going home.

1 year ago
Opening arguments began today as the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to rule on President Obama’s landmark national health care law later this year.
Whatever the nine justices decide, it will be historic.
The so-called individual mandate is the linchpin of the law and came under scrutiny as the nation’s highest court launched into its hearing Tuesday.
That provision of the law requires Americans to buy health insurance, and it could unravel President Obama’s biggest domestic policy achievement.
The justices must decide how much power the federal government has in forcing Americans to
