It isn’t enough that “American Idol” judge Katy Perry gets to attend what amounts to a concert by possible future stars of tomorrow each week. She actually spends her days off on weekends re-watching the reality talent show with her fiance, actor Orlando Bloom, and her family members.
“Sunday is usually family night for us — Orlando, myself, my sister, my parents, my brother,” the pop chanteuse, 34, whose hits include “I Kissed a Girl,” “Teenage Dream” and “Firework,” told “Us” magazine at an “American Idol” event in Los Angeles. “So, it’s like cuddling with the kids, and we usually watch ‘Idol’ on Sunday night and have dinner, and we’ll have takeout or what have you. So we went to Crossroads last night and had Impossible Burgers. There were 20 of us.”
As anyone knows from watching Perry’s antics on “Idol,” food figures large in her life. On Sunday’s show,...

“American Idol” kicked off Hollywood Week on Sunday, March 24 with the first of two episodes dedicated to this phase of the competition. By the end of the episode on Monday (March 25), we will have seen the 150 hopefuls who got tickets to Hollywood get cut down to just 40 contenders who remain in the running to win season 17. These two Hollywood Week episodes were filmed months ago and we’ve been doing some digging about the results. Spoilers ahead
We know that the contestants faced the three judges — pop princess Katy Perry, country superstar Luke Bryan and Oscar-winning singer/songwriter Lionel Richie — in three separate rounds: lines of 10, groups, and solos. At the end of these, they got the news as to whether they had made the Top 40, who were sent to the Aulani Resort in Hawaii to sing again for the trio of experts at the end of January. The episode...

I don’t know about you, but I never really thought that Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick Jr. completely clicked as a judging panel on the last three seasons that “American Idol” was on Fox. Obviously, they all had their share of success as performers. When it came to connecting to the singing contestants from the heartland, upbeat Urban was about the only one who felt warm and earnest. Lopez basically leaned on her “goosies” radar too much and Connick could come off a bit harsh, even aloof and professorial sometimes.
But while I don’t always agree with the current threesome in charge of whittling down the crowd of contenders on the ABC revival of the show, I must say that Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan‘s commaraderie makes for reasonable entertaining viewing, even if they are too quick to overpraise in the early rounds.
