A judge on ‘American Idol‘ is a gig that tireless toiler Katy Perry wants no parts of. Perry has no aversion to working hard – she worked night and day to promote her film ‘Katy Perry: Part of Me,’ which subsequently arrived to a cold box office reception. But she refused the idea of ‘Idol’ simply because it’s too much of a time commitment for her and she has other plans taking priority.

We already know one of our fave ‘American Idol‘ alumni, Adam Lambert, is up for a judging stint to potentially replace Jennifer Lopez on the show. But who else is in talks for the gig? So far, a slew of divas — and one dude.

‘American Idols Live!‘ kicked off its first tour stop with a bang. This past season’s hopefuls opened their tour in Detroit and covered a little old tune you may have heard once or a twice: ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ by One Direction.

Though she lost out to Phillip Phillips on ‘American Idol,’ Jessica Sanchez is still pretty victorious everywhere else. Following her recent record deal and rumors of a role on ‘Glee,’ the teen phenom is up for the lead role in the film adaptation of ‘Miss Saigon.’

Kelly Clarkson can cross another item off of her long list of accomplishments. Arguably the most famous ‘American Idol‘ alumna, Clarkson’s single ‘Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)’ off her album ‘Stronger’ became the best-selling ‘Idol’ single of all time, even knocking fellow ‘Idol’ winner Carrie Underwood back to second place. Underwood held the title when her single ‘Before He Cheats’ was rele

Ouch! Phillip Phillips wasn’t joking when he said he played through pain and was in ill health on Season of 11 of ‘American Idol,’ which the cutie won. In a chat with E!, the singer/songwriter revealed that when he was checked by doctors, they found that his right kidney was three to four (!!!) times the size of the left one. He was in so much pain it hurt to bend over or walk! Aww! Poor guy. Rea

‘American Idol‘ winner Phillip Phillips will be back on stage next month when he performs at the annual July Fourth celebration on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. This will be his first appearance since undergoing major kidney surgery.

The other night, (June 11), ‘American Idol‘ winner Phillip Phillips‘ family-run pawn shop in Georgia was broken into and robbed. The thieves took advantage of the Phillips’ absence, as they were out of town attending to their son, who is recovering from major kidney surgery in California.

Phillip Phillips, the winner of Season 11 of ‘American Idol,’ has been plagued by health issues before, during and after his big, life-changing win, thanks to a barely-functioning kidney that required multiple surgeries, with more on the horizon. Despite all the reports about Phillips’ ill health, word is the ‘Home’ singer will not have imminent surgery in favor of alternative treatments, which ar

Phillip Phillips was scheduled to have surgery today (May 29) but it was postponed when the ‘American Idol‘ Season 11 winner came down with a raging fever upon developing a sinus infection. Surgeons won’t operate under such conditions so it had to be rescheduled. Aw, poor Phillip. He’s in bad physical shape right now, despite the big win just under a week ago.

Aerosmith frontman and ‘American Idol‘ judge Steven Tyler was recently asked if Jennifer Lopez would be returning to ‘Idol’ next season. Since he’s on the panel with her, he had some insight.

Phillip Phillips is still on cloud nine from winning Season 11 of ‘American Idol,’ but while he never faulted in the competition, he was battling his chronic kidney problems off camera.
