1. Paula Abdul will not be returning for season 9, apparently because of conflicts over how much, exactly, her time is worth. Michael Slezak at Idolatry thinks a last-ditch negotiation could still be made, but as of right now, it appears we're back to three judges...
2. ...or not. EW reports that she will be replaced, at least for this temporarily, by Victoria Beckham--aka Posh Spice. I'm all for more British accents, but really? After all the problems with the four-judge format, they can't leave well enough alone? It seems that this will be a very temporary measure, thankfully.
3. In sadder news, Alexis Cohen, whom you may remember more because of the inordinate amount of screen time devoted to her middle finger after she was not sent to Hollywood than because of her quite passable singing, died in a hit and run. In a supreme act of class, driver Daniel Berk suggests he is not to blame because Alexis was drunk. Somewhere, Alexis is very deservedly telling him where to go. Rest in peace, Alexis.
4. Check back later on MJ's for TUTV's recap of the American Idol live tour in Baltimore City!
