Jennifer Lopez and Ryan Seacrest Gear Up For Idol and Talk Fashion

Molly Goodson — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 10:33:01 PST

Jennifer Lopez joined Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson, Ryan Seacrest, and their producers for yesterday's American Idol panel at the Television Critics Association Fox press day. When Jennifer was asked what dress she was wearing, Ryan was quick to interject saying the right question is, "Who are you wearing?" though she still couldn't remember the answer. Earlier in the morning, the Fox executive panel addressed the stories about Ryan leaving the show, but he was there with a smile on his face alongside the three judges. Ryan also spoke to the rumors, saying he can't imagine leaving Idol. Ryan is fresh off a St. Barts vacation with bikini-clad girlfriend Julianne Hough and has a perfect tan to kick off award season red carpets this week.

Jennifer, Steven, and Randy weren't afraid to throw a few punches at the other singing reality competition shows out there, especially The Voice. The Fox president in charge of American Idol even called out The Voice for having Kelly Clarkson on as a coach this season, saying, "It's a compliment to Idol because we have created the superstar. We're not hiring a lot of people from The Voice to be on our show." Check out the 10 best quotes from American Idol's TCA panel on Buzz.

The 10 Best Quotes From the American Idol Panel

Shannon Vestal — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 23:19:48 PST

American Idol returns for an 11th season later this month, and Fox brought out the perennial hit to close out their TCA day. Steven Tyler, Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, and Ryan Seacrest joined producers to talk about the upcoming season, but the panel was mostly dominated by talk of the rivalry between Idol and other singing competition shows, particularly The Voice. Strongly opinionated, snarky, and funny, here are the best quotes from the panel.

"I think that Idol still is the best TV show of its kind anywhere. We're the original, we kind of invented this whole game that everybody's now copying." - Jackson, on the profusion of singing reality shows
"I like to juggle balls. Career balls." - Host Seacrest, who is in contract renegotiations for Idol, admitted to being very busy
"Leona Lewis was kind of a one-and-a-half hit star for 10 minutes . . . this is the show that produces the stars." - Producer Ken Warwick, on why he thinks American Idol is the best of its genre
"It's a compliment to Idol because we have created the superstar. We're not hiring a lot of people from The Voice to be on our show." - Fox president of alternative entertainment Mike Darnell, on The Voice's recent hiring of Kelly Clarkson
"It's a juggling act like any, you know, single mom. They come first." - Lopez, on balancing her career and children
"The question is who, who are you wearing." - Seacrest, correcting a reporter for asking "what" Lopez was wearing
"It's like second-chance theater over there." - Jackson, criticizing the fact that the winner of The Voice had a failed record contract before winning
"They don't have the depth." - Jackson, on why other shows don't air their auditions with hopefuls that are not good
"I've always wanted to get in her pants, and every once in a while she lets me." - Tyler, about Lopez, who then added, "to wear them," after the audience laughed
"It hasn't changed. I'm still an emotional person." - Lopez, assuring the audience that she won't be any harder on contestants, despite criticism

Jennifer Lopez Gets a Surprise Visit From Casper During AI's Hollywood Week

Katie Henry — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 12:20:04 PST

Jennifer Lopez arrived for the third day of American Idol Hollywood Week auditions in Pasadena yesterday. She waved to fans and entered the arena solo, and later in the day she got a visit from her boyfriend, Casper Smart. Casper made a low-key entrance though a back door. It wasn't apparent, though, if he arrived in the Bentley Jennifer allegedly gave him as a gift!

J Lo and Casper's relationship seems to be going strong following their romantic Thanksgiving trip to Hawaii. One person, though, might not be thrilled. Her ex-husband Marc Anthony is reportedly unhappy about Casper and is very "stressed" over the situation. Jen's surprising split from Marc grabbed major headlines back in July, and it ranks among the most shocking celebrity breakups of 2011.

Jennifer Lopez Returns to Work While Casper Gets a New Ride

Katie Henry — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:55:00 PST

Jennifer Lopez was back to work for her second day in a row at American Idol's Hollywood Week auditions held in Pasadena, CA yesterday. She arrived in another sexy and sophisticated outfit following the bright yellow ensemble she wore for Tuesday's taping. Jen was chauffeured to set by a black SUV, but it's a convertible J Lo gifted to Casper Smart that's getting all the attention since she recently surprised him with a white Bentley. The couple's relationship seems to be cruising smoothly into 2012, but their unexpected hookup and her surprising breakup with ex Marc Anthony both landed on our list of biggest headlines of the year.

Jennifer Lopez Shines Bright For American Idol's Hollywood Week Auditions

Katie Henry — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 02:30:00 PST

Jennifer Lopez stepped out of her black SUV in a bright yellow coat and white Milly trousers at Pasadena's Civic Center before cameras started rolling on American Idol's Hollywood Week auditions. Fellow judges Randy Jackson and Steven Tyler also arrived in separate chauffeured cars and joined J Lo inside with the show's hopeful contestants and host Ryan Seacrest. The singing competition returns to primetime starting January 18 with hopes of finding another chart topping winner. Last year's champ, Scotty McCreery, is already following in the footsteps of successful winners like Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson by taking home his first ever music honor earlier this month at the American Country Awards.

There have been big changes since Idol wrapped on its 10th season last Spring. Since then J Lo announced her shocking split from Marc Anthony, and has since been romantically linked to Bradley Cooper and more recently Jen vacationed in Hawaii with backup dancer, Casper Smart. Fans can look forward to seeing twice the amount of J Lo in 2012 as she balances her Idol responsibilities in addition to shooting her new talent series Q'Viva! The Chosen.

Pia Toscano's First Single, "This Time" - Love It or Leave It?

Becky Kirsch — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 11:58:16 PDT

Scotty McCreery may have won American Idol, but he's not the only season 10 contestant who's getting attention. I'm sure most of you remember Pia Toscano, whose early elimination from the show shocked tons of fans. Rest assured that Ms. Toscano is doing just fine for herself: she recently scored a record deal, and debuted her first single on Seacrest this morning. The song, titled "This Time," is more upbeat than the epic ballads she covered on Idol, but it's definitely catchy. I'm already liking it more than McCreery's first tune, so give it a listen below and tell us what you think.

Do You Want Jennifer Lopez to Come Back to American Idol?

Shannon Vestal — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 10:17:07 PDT

Scotty McCreery was only recently crowned the winner of American Idol, but it's already time to start thinking about next season. As has become tradition for the last couple years of the show, the judging lineup is once again in question. In a radio interview, Jennifer Lopez admitted that she doesn't know if she wants to come back to American Idol next season.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a complete shakeup to the panel, especially after the judges were scrutinized for not being critical enough. Still, Lopez was a constant source of positivity and encouragement, and I often appreciated her as a judge (plus, I always looked forward to what she was wearing). It's time for you to weigh in - would you be happy to see Lopez return as an American Idol judge, or would you rather see her replaced?

5 At-Home Fitness Tips From the American Idol Trainer, Marco Reed

Self — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 06:05:47 PDT

We are pumped to share one of our fave stories from Self here on FitSugar!

If you've seen the new svelte Jennifer Hudson (that's "J-Hud" to you) in Weight Watchers commercials, you know that the transformation from "hopeful" to "diva" can be a big change. And not just from a physical standpoint.

That's why - whether readying clients for class reunions, weddings, new jobs, new chapters, or performing nightly in front of millions of viewers - frequent American Idol trainer Marco Reed's GetBeyondFit program weighs stress management and stamina as heavily as body sculpting and nutrition.

Idol top-three finalist Haley Reinhart buddies up to trainer Marco Reed.

At this time of year, after American Idol has reached its stunning conclusion, and TV audiences are readying themselves to move onto other shows like The Bachelorette, Marco Reed's job is just beginning.

After the initial hoopla has died down, the show's producers recruit this go-to trainer to ready their new pop stars - like David Cook and Adam Lambert in the past - for album releases and solo tours. (Though Casey Abrams and Haley Reinhart have not trained with Reed, they have been in touch.) An avid watcher of the show, Reed confesses, "I really enjoyed Casey Abrams and Haley. However, I would love to work with Lauren once the show ends. She has a sparkle about her, and I think she would benefit from my GetBeyondFit program."

But what makes that program so unique? And how can we get on board? To find out, keep on reading!
