After the count of an overwhelming 122 million votes, Ryan Seacrest announced that 17-year-old Scotty McCreery was the winner of American Idol.

Commenting on if he thought he would win, McCreery said: “It’s been a year since Lauren and I tried out.  We’ve been together since day one and we’re going to stay together. Never in my wildest dreams…I’ve got to thank the Lord first, he got me here.”

McCreery will receive a recording contract with Vivendi SA’s Universal Music Group and joins his predecessors who held the prestigious American Idol title such as Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks, Taylor Hicks, Reuben Studdard, David Cook, Kris Allen, Fantasia Barrino, Lee DeWyze and Carrie Underwood.

For someone who is considered talentless by critics, Kim Kardashian is doing alot. Reality TV star, fashionista, business woman, published author, and now she’s an artist. The most famous of the Kardashian clan, has just released her debut song Jam (Turn it up), a collaboration with The Dream.

Earlier this week, Kim tweeted her excitement, and nervousness, over the release of the song. Jam was released exclusively on the Ryan Seacrest show yesterday.

Fans can purchase the song at iTunes with proceeds being donated to St. Judes Children’s hospital.

We’ve already seen pictures from when Kim filmed the video for the song – she sports braided hair. Can’t wait to see the video! Is it just me or does she sound a bit like Britney Spears?

Listen to the Jam!

Melissa Leo swore as she excitedly accepted an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Fighter, a movie that propelled the 50- year old  actress into the mainstream for the first time in her career. This was Melissa’s second Oscar nomination but first win.

The actress accidentally dropped the F word as she delivered a heartfelt acceptance speech  “When I watched Kate (Winslet) two years ago it looked so f***ing easy,” she said, before realizing her blunder.

It is reported that when she got backstage she jokingly said that it was “probably a very inappropriate place to use that particular word”
