Today In ‘Idol’: Adam Lambert Has A Top 10 Hit
:: It’s official: Season 9 of American Idol officially without a “Sanjaya.” Now Tim Urban can return to competitions he can actually excel at without ridicule—swimsuit competitions. [Idolator]
:: Adam Lambert’s “Whataya Want From Me” has reached the Top 10 (#9) of the Billboard Hot 100! And Adam personally thanks you on his Twitter. (He should probably also thank Idol for having him on as a guest mentor and allowing him to perform his song on the show, but that goes without saying.) [Billboard]
:: The new Worster in Tim’s absence? Siobhan Magnus. We really hope her caricature comes with man-eating butterflies and a mohawk. [VFTW]
:: Mary J. Blige was definitely copycatting Rihanna’s honey-blonde bangs last night during her Idol performance of “Stairway to Heaven” (a look RiRi stole from Justin Bieber). [Idol Tracker]
:: That was quick—the tobacco company sponsoring non-smoker Kelly Clarkson’s tour stop in Jakarta has pulled its controversial branding. So now Kelly’s fans can enjoy her show without being overcome by the desire to step outside for a smoke throughout it. [E! Online]
