ALL THE 'IDOL' CHANGES...
With all the "big" changes that are being teased for the upcoming 10th season of "American Idol"...it'll be interesting to see if the producers are able to breathe new life into the show. Or at least, keep it afloat.

And it's not just STEVEN TYLER and JENNIFER LOPEZ joining the judges' panel. Here's a relatively quick rundown of the changes coming this season:

As we'd heard before, there won't be a Top 24 this season. Instead, the Hollywood round will be expanded, and they'll skip directly to the Top 12. (Or the Top 10. The producers aren't sure on that yet. They say the talent will dictate it.)

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe told "Entertainment Weekly" that part of the "Hollywood round" will actually take place in Las Vegas...where 60 contestants will each have to perform a BEATLES song.

Although the Top 24 won't exist as it has in the past, America will help pick the finalists...in a so-called "sudden death Top 20 round." It's a little unclear, but it sounds like a single round of voting will pick the finalists out of the Top 20.

And "Idol" isn't picking the best among the guys and girls separately. For example, it'll just be the Top 12 (or 10) singers...not the six best guys and the six best girls. So, no one will be screwed if one gender is stronger than the other.

That's it for the OFFICIAL changes...but there are a lot of rumors going around about other changes. Most of them haven't been officially addressed yet, but one of them has been pulled off the table.

Executive producer Cecile Frot-Coutaz denied speculation that the show was considering having the contestants make music videos to test their performance and acting skills.

One of the more interesting rumors we've heard is that "Idol" was thinking about introducing a challenge where new contestants would be pitted against former winners and finalists.

Sources say "Idol" gave up on the idea when they weren't able to draw any interest from their more successful alumni.

Show premieres Wednesday, January 19th.







LADIES BE SNOOPIN...IN THE CLOSET!
According to a new survey by Kelton Research, 32% of women...or one out of three...admit that they've secretly gone into their husband or boyfriend's closet and thrown away some of his clothing.

Here are some other findings from the survey...

Only 12% of men grade themselves an "A" when it comes to fashion sense.

77% of men say their current wardrobe needs a makeover.

91% of women say that dressing well makes a man look more attractive than he actually is.

85% of women say a man who dresses well is sexier than a man who has a lot of money.

And while 32% of women have secretly thrown away some of their man's clothing because they didn't like it...they're not the only ones. 8% of men say they've thrown away a piece of their woman's clothing.







KARAOKE PREVENTS HEART ATTACKS...WHAT?
If the thought of getting up on stage and performing karaoke makes you feel like you're going to have a heart attack...maybe it's time to face your demons and just do it. Because apparently, there's no place for heart attacks in karaoke.

According to a new study, doctors found that occasionally performing karaoke can improve your heart health and your stress levels. They found it eases tension and makes people feel happy and comfortable socially.

NOW...keep in mind, this was a Japanese study, so you KNOW they wanted it to turn out pro-karaoke.

But still...they studied almost 20,000 people and the results were statistically significant...so, crank up the Janis Joplin and the Heart! WOO!
