That Melissa Gilbert has come out as a lesbian (shocker)... That Ellen DeGeneres has left American Idol ("A couple months ago, I let Fox and the "American Idol" producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me.

That Jennifer Lopez is replacing Ellen, while Steven Tyler is believed to be replacing Simon. Kara was always extraneous, so that just leaves Randy 'the Dawg' Jackson stealing a living... That Katy Perry said: "It's going to be small so I don't think we'll have a proper band. I'd love to have Morrissey. I met him for the first time the other day. Russell is a mate of his and we had tea together. He is fascinating but he was giving us a hard time about getting married. He sort of swooned and sighed and said, 'Oh left hand third finger, don't do it'... It would be great to have him at the ceremony but he's not exactly entering into the spirit.

The pair were spotted in the VIP area of Chinawhite: "They were laughing and giggling all night and it was obvious where it was going to end. They did some grinding on the dancefloor before returning to their table - and that's when Alexandra made her move. She pulled Danny off the sofa and gave him a full-on snog"...
