More Entertainment »In a stunning turn of
events sure to send shock waves through
the entertainment industry for generations
to come, Simon "Darth Vader" Cowell has
fired Paula Abdul - yes, Paula! - from her
position as judge on Fox's The X Factor.
But Paula isn't the only victim to be cruelly ejected from Si's Death Star: Host Steve Jones and
judge Nicole Scherzinger also are out.
It's shocking, considering that Si personally wooed and wheedled and begged Paula to join the
show after American Idol gave her the heave-ho. Made all the more disturbing since, according to
TMZ, Paula's pink slip was delivered by some lawyer and not from friend Si himself.
"I want to say a massive thank-you to Paula, Nicole and Steve for being part of The X Factor last
year," Si says in a statement. "You do develop friendships with the people you work with and Paula,
in particular, is a very close friend."
"[Si] will remain a dear friend of mine," she says, "and I've treasured my experience working this
past season with my extended family."
Selena Gomez, 19, the older woman who has ignited lust in Justin Bieber's tender, boyish, 17-
year-old heart, is so, like, totally in love with the boy. "I'm just like every 19-year-old girl," Selena
confesses in Cosmopolitan mag. "If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest, and you just want to
go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible. I'm fortunate that I've found someone
who has that philosophy."
The musical lineup at Super Bowl XLVI on Sunday has been finalized and it's just marvelous.
Cuddly-voiced Texas-girl-next-door Kelly Clarkson, 29, will make her Super Bowl debut with the
national anthem before an expected global TV audience of 162 million. Blake Shelton and Miranda
Lambert will follow with a duet on "America the Beautiful."
