American Idol is being sued for $100 million by a former contestant. Ian Benardo, originally sued the popular, televised talent show for $300 million but withdrew that lawsuit.

He re-filed and this time leveled a $100 million lawsuit at the company, claiming that the second figure was a “cleaner” number.

Benardo is suing for sexual harassment and discrimination. He claims that he was exploited because of his sexuality. According to Ian, the producers at Idol ordered him to “gay it up.” No word from American Idol concerning the suit.

I’m not a ‘legal eagle’ but I’m not so sure that he has a strong case. However, who knows? Perhaps American Idol will settle with Benardo to get the whole thing over with. That seems to be the way of the world now-a-days, simple settle and move on. Guess, we’ll have to wait and see. Don’t worry, we’ll keep you updated as best we can!

We reported here that Snooki’s boyfriend, Jeff Miranda, proposed to her from a cover of the magazine ‘Steppin Out.’ Well, Snooki has responded, though not directly.

Reaching out to her fans and followers via Twitter, she wrote, “Just want to set the record straight. I’m single and I’m not going to get married!” We would consider that a “No.” Considering the fact that the two have only been dating two weeks, we think Snooki made a very wise decision.

Rumors surrounding Miranda’s behavior as of late supports her turning down his proposals.

Reportedly, Miranda likes to hang out at swingers parties, where a lot of risque behavior routinely goes down, not exactly potential-groom behavior. Our opinion on the matter is to steer clear Snooki! This guy seems bit like bad news and kind of a media groupie.

The Glee cast may not be that gleeful after all. It looks like at least some of the cast members are a bit peeved about not getting royalties they feel are due to them from Sony for a CD recently released by the music label.

The executive producer of Glee, Ryan Murphy, inked a deal with Ralph Schmidt-Holtz, the CEO of Sony.

However, the cast wasn’t included in the deal.

The cast now feels cheated and in my opinion, rightfully so.

Perhaps to spite Sony some of the cast have signed their own deals with other labels. Mark Salling has signed with Pipe Dream Records and Matthew Morrison has joined the Mercury Records roster.

Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch), you know of Glee fame, is making a guest appearance on the popular tween show iCarly.

She is playing Sam’s (one of the characters on the show for those of you are over 13 and haven’t seen it) mom on the episode. She is loud, obnoxious and a little violent just like Sam’s character.

 For those of you who aren’t familiar with iCarly, its a show aimed at adolescents and young teens. Some moms like it too becuase they are forced to watch it with their children, at least at first.

 Its about three young teens who have a web show and one of their brothers, who has custody of one of the teens, Carly. Its a pretty funny show and well written.

It looks like Jany Lynch appearnce is going to be a pretty funny spot.

Via the previews, she’s acting pretty aggressive, bossy and plenty of funny! Make sure to tune in.

The cast of ‘Jersey Shore,’ the whole lot of them, is being sued. A person, a female, who is going by the initials J.P., has sued the entire cast of the popular reality television show.

The lawyer representing J.P., Eugene Lavernge, reports that her client has a scar on the chin as a result of a cut that occurred after a run-in with the notoriously rowdy bunch.

According to Eugene, J.P. was thrown down by Jersey Shore security guards after she verbally spat with Snooki. This incident occurred in September of 2009. No word on why she waited almost a year to sue, maybe she’s in need of some extra cash.

J.P. is looking to get paid from just about everyone affiliated with Jersey Shore, including the show, 495 Productions, MTV and Viacom (MTV’s parent company).

Today, August 29th, would have been Michael Jackson’s birthday.

Hundreds of his fans gathered together to celebrate.

While there are undoubtedly celebrations going on all over the world, this particular one was held in front of the home Jackson and his family grew up in Gary, Indiana.

The King of Pop died as the result of an accidental overdose while under the care and watch of his personal doctor. The case against the doctor is ongoing. Michael Jackson would have been 52 years old.
