- Okay, American Idol contestant Sherman Pore is like The Notebook come to life or something. This 64-year-old dude collected signatures to petition American Idol to allow him to audition. He started the project while his “lady love” was dying in the hospital, to keep her distracted from the stark reality of her situation. Even Simon was humbled by this guy.
- Shocker: Courtney Love is so not joining the judging panel on American Idol. Too bad, we were into the idea.
- It’s not that the Strokes are breaking up, says guitarist Albert Hammond Jr., it’s just that they are all taking “a big amount of time off.”
- Norah Jones has invited M Ward to tour with her. Indie rock’s favorite subtle prodigy will join Jones for a string of North American dates in April.
- Today is the day all rumors we’d like to be true disappoint. Not only is Courtney not joining Idol, but the Pet Shop Boys have posted a message on their Web site declaring that they will not be working with Britney Spears on her new album, as was reported yesterday. Fine then. [via Entertainmentwise]
