Mary J. Blige To Guest Judge On ‘American Idol’

With the vacancy left by Paula Abdul still left up in the air, we are still wondering who’s going to be her replacement on “American Idol”.

We’ve heard the rumors that Kirstie Alley herself started, saying she would be the one to take over the judge spot. Then, it was said that Victoria Beckham was signing on for more than one episode of the show.

Now, we’ve just learned, that, in addition to Victoria, we’ll also be seeing R&B legend Mary J. Blige. She’s said to be meeting up with Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi in Atlanta, Georgia for the auditions.

A source said of Victoria’s spot on the show, “The judges and production team have been having a lot of fun with Victoria. She’s had a great response so far, and has been really warm with the contestants.”

Who do you think would be a more successful judge? Victoria or Mary J.? I vote Mary, of course.

‘Thriller’ Musical Put On Hold Following The Death Of Michael Jackson

Plans for a “Thriller” musical were underway, but have been put on hold following the death of Michael Jackson.

The Nederlander Organization acquired rights to use songs from “Thriller” and “Off The Wall” by Jackson for the musical, but halted plans after they learned of his passing. Jackson was said to have been heavily involved in the creative process of the stage production.

A Nederlander spokesperson said, “We just don’t know what’s going to happen, and that’s all we’re saying for now.”

Do you think they should go ahead with it as planned?
