The new seating arrangement for the judges on “American Idol” is all mixed up.

A photo tweeted by Nigel Lythgoe shows Randy Jackson sitting in Simon’s old spot.

Jennifer Lopez is sitting in the middle where Paula Abdul used to be and Steven Tyler is at the end, where Jackson used to sit.

Last night on Idol during his critique of Didi Benami he told the world! lol okay maybe I’m delusional but he did mention that he agrees with me that the singers on those “dancing shows” murder the songs.

In other reality show rantings…how the heck is Shannen Doherty the first celeb gone from Dancing with the Stars?! Really?! How did she not get the votes to stay?! She was nowhere near the worst dancer AND she was dancing for her father! For pete’s sake! And really Pam and Kate are still there?! And Buzz?! Can you say sympathy votes? I don’t really have any reason to watch now…but my votes are going to Chad…cause he’s adorable. Oh but a little humour in all my ranting: isn’t it kinda funny that Shannen’s partner got injured? No I’m not cruel and heartless. I love Mark Ballas but seriously Doherty’s partner got hurty lol.

Alright so I just had to mention a few things that bug me every time I watch American Idol. Mostly the fact that the oh so qualified to give these kids advice (that should be read with sarcasm btw) judges always complain that the contestants ‘need to find their sound’ and whatnot. Well seriously how are they supposed to do that when they’re forced to participate in the theme nights?! Yeah sure you can try to make a Rolling Stones tune your own but are they really at that point right now? They should be able to go up there and sing any song that suits their fancy.

Also like seriously does Simon need to be so freakin mean?! Okay most of the time I agree with him and it’s nice to have someone be honest but tone it down a bit dude. It’s called tact!

This past week more than Paige should have been voted off, they could’ve easily cut 6 people cause we all know who the strong ones that will make it to the top 5 are.

Also I must say that I absolutely loved it when Casey told Miley Cyrus that he loves her dad’s music….and completely didn’t say anything about her music. Made me laugh my butt off.

What about you? Who do you love this season on Idol? Let me know in the comments.

A new character is being introduced today on “Sesame Street.”

Her name is Carrie Underworm.

She has a red fabric worm’s body and blonde wavy hair.

She sings just like Carrie Underwood.

She sounds like Underwood because that’s who recorded the song, “The Worm Anthem,” for the show.

After premiering today, this episode of “Sesame Street” will air again later today and also March 17th, April 8th and 26th on P-B-S.

Check out a sneak peek here: Carrie Underworm

Ah I see the resemblance.

Simon Cowell wasn’t messing around when it came time to his 50th birthday this weekend. Sources say the American Idol judge threw a $2 million bash at Wrotham Park Manor outside of London on Saturday. He turned an outdoor tent into a bustling Vegas showroom for his 400-plus guests, including Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Sharon Osbourne, Olivia Newton-John, David Hasselhoff, Piers Morgan, Terri Seymour, Gordon Ramsay and Andrew Lloyd Weber. Both Paula Abdul and Elton John were supposed to attend. Several performers played the event, including Leona Lewis. Earth, Wind and Fire were flown in from Vegas for $200,000. Cowell thanked all of his guests for coming, calling himself “lucky.”

Simon even had a little fun, poking fun at himself by putting his face on paintings, wallpaper, cupcakes and even on the porta-potties.
