Hollywood Event Gossip: Kara DioGuardi Bests Bikini Girl on Idol Finale

We all remember the “American Idol” season 8 auditions when Katrina “Bikini Girl” Darrell openly insulted judge Kara DioGuardi. And last night Kara got her revenge.

Ryan Seacrest gave Darrell a second chance to sing Mariah Carey’s “Vision of Love” (after pointing out her new breast implants) and things seemed pretty tame until the 2nd verse when DioGuardi came out and completely blew Katrina away with her killer voice.

And to add insult to injury, Kara popped open her dress at the close of the song to reveal her rock hard abs and a black bikini. Katrina was noticeably flustered throughout the whole ordeal.

Prior to the show, Miss Darrell told FOX Pop Tarts, “I tried to smooth things over, but I still think she has some animosity towards me. I don’t know why, I don’t hate her, I think she’s pretty and a good songwriter, and we could have been friends. I was the one who reached out to her last time so now it’s her turn.” Looks like Kara got the last laugh.

Lily, our store employee who is with us in Miami for the opening, arrived this morning and discovered that the store window had been vandalized with graffiti.”

She continued, “We want to make it clear that no one was targeting the store or Kim, Khloe and myself, specifically. The location of the store has remained a secret since we started filming, so there’s no way whoever graffiti’d the store front knew it was Dash. They were just defacing buildings in the area.

“So that’s what happened! We are all really sad that our brand new Miami Dash store that we’ve been working so hard on got graffiti’d, but Kim, Khloe and I are all fine and we won’t let a little thing like this ruin our launch party tomorrow! And what’s life without a little drama, anyway, right!?”

Kenny and Michael are, at the same time, both creative pioneers and perfectionists. This show has grown in size and scope, thereby, necessitating more lead time for manufacture of the set, programming the content for the massive video elements, and, most importantly, more time for full production and dress rehearsals in the world’s busiest arena, the O2.”

The “You Know I’m No Good” songstress was reportedly hanging out in her luxury villa in St. Lucia when she became ill and her friends called an ambulance.

And given her poor performance at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival in addition to her recent health problems, it seems Amy may not be fit for her May 31st gig at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.

An insider told press, “Amy’s gig might as well be canceled now. She’s not going to make it. It’s not worth her while even if she does make it, it will be a shambles. She is not ready for it and she proved it at the St Lucia Jazz festival.”

Celebrity Gossip: Muslim Celeb Salma Hayek and Her Daughter Valentina: “Grown Ups”

Taking care of her professional and parental responsibilities simultaneously, Salma Hayek was spotted with her daughter Valentina on the set of her new movie yesterday (May 19).

The “From Dusk til Dawn” actress spent some time with her little one while filming “Grown Ups” in Southborough, Massachusetts, grabbing a Diet Coke to cool off.

And with stars like Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, and David Spade, the “Grown Ups” set is sure to be an entertaining place for Valentina to visit.

“Grown Ups” is the story of a group of friends who reunite on Fourth of July weekend twenty years after graduating from high school.
