"American Idol" has a bunch of problems. I know. "Breaking news!" With the not-so-abrupt Friday afternoon news-dump departure of Kara DioGuardi, the only judge we assume is returning to "American Idol" next season is Randy Jackson. Imagine if the Lakers jettisoned Kobe and Lamar and Pau and D-Fish and Bynum and sent Phil Jackson packing and then came out to season ticket holders and said, "Of course we're the same team! We're called the Lakers and we still have Luke Walton." That's where "American Idol" is right now. Now don't get me wrong. I've been writing...

On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers celebrated their latest NBA Championship with 250,000 people at a giant parade. But last night, they had a far more intimate party at Club Nokia in Los Angeles. The private event was quite the VIP scene, featuring only the players, their families and a handful of celebrity fans enjoying performances from Kanye West and Lil Wayne. We caught up with some of the stars on the Lakers-appropriate purple carpet.
Hiding behind the twin towers that are Pau Gasol and Luke Walton, we found “Twilight” star Ashley Greene, who found parallels between the cast of “New Moon” and the Lakers team.
“Everyone kind of came together and came out on top,” she clarified. “Our cast works really hard and we all work really well together. We’re all kind of a family. The Lakers are the same.”
She had some sound advice for her castmate Robert Pattinson,...
