It just feels like yesterday when auditions were taking place for American Idol and already they are down to their top 12:

• Didi Benami
• Aaron Kelly
• Paige Miles
• Crystal Bowersox
• Andrew Garcia
• Lacey Brown
• Michael Lynche
• Katie Stevens
• Lee Dewyze
• Casey James
• Siobhan Magnus
• Tim Urban

They celebrated last night at the Industry Club in Los Angeles where they were joined by:  Justin Guarini, Hayley McFarland, John Francis Daley, Terri Seymour, Mark Salling, and Cory Monteith.

Who is your favourite of the Top 12? Did someone get voted off that should have been included in this Top 12?

I can not get over how adorable Levi McConaughey is.  And the little hats on him are too darling, aren’t they?  Levi and his parents Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves are in New York where they stopped for some corn on the cob.

Matthew doesn’t look terribly happy to see the paparazzi and I wanted to put a solo picture of Levi as the main picture but I was kind of afraid that Matthew would hunt me down and try to kill me.  I kid.  Not really.

Not intentionally of course.  It’s all in a day’s work at Dancing With The Stars rehearsals.  Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger accidentally kicked Derek Hough in the face narrowly missing his eye during rehearsals.

Derek is nursing a laceration next to his eye but the show will go on and they are expected to continue with rehearsals for the show’s premiere March 22.

I checked Derek’s Twitter account and he doesn’t mention anything about it and he seemed to be getting a kick out of the show Marriage Ref which was on last night saying how ‘these people are nuts‘ which yes they were.  It’s an interesting show. Last night’s episode had Madonna, Larry David, and Ricky Gervais as the refs (not sure if they switch it up or not).  Considering Larry and Madonna are divorced and Ricky is not married it’s kind of bizarre.

Kristen Stewart portrays real life rock chick Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning portrays lead singer Cherie Currie in this movie of  ’a coming-of-age biopic about ’70s teenage band The Runaways‘.  In the movie Kristen and Dakota shared a kiss and Kristen recently said of it:

“It was cool. I didn’t mind it,” “The way that it happens in the script is so just a sort of moment in time and fun and natural and sort of impulsive.”

“I haven’t really done a lot of movies with people close to my own age,” “So I was excited, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to do it with.”

Other people that attended the Los Angeles premiere included:

• Joan Jett
• Tatum O’Neal
• Taylor Lautner
• Cherie Currie
• Riley Keough
• Robert Hays
• Nancy Wilson
• Scout Taylor-Compton
• Hannah Marks
• Michael Shannon
• Stella Maeve

For those of you who don’t know, Riley Keough (who in the movie plays Marie Currie) is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley who is Elvis Presley’s daughter making Riley (of course) the granddaughter.  That is some rock and roll family royalty right there!

And the old dude wrapped around Tatum O’Neal is her father Ryan and he’s probably trying to figure out whether it’s an appropriate time to hit on her or not.  It’s not a funeral, but what the hell.

“It’s quite fun when it’s not rolling. It is so lovely. I’ve got nothing bad to say about it. “Certainly, to begin with when we got together, we were really concerned that it’s ridiculous to get into a relationship when there’s a possible seven years of working together, but it’s been nothing but lovely, so I hope it carries on as thus.”

“Because the crew, the cameramen, the actors and everyone grew up watching us, they’ve seen every single move I’ve ever made on her.”

….speaking of his off camera romance with Anna Paquin his True Blood co-star and now fiancee.
