The lyrics read:

I get a rep for breakin’ hearts
Now I’m done with superstars
And all the tears on her guitar
I’m not bitter

But now I see
Everything I’d ever need
Is the girl in front of me
She’s much better

She explained, “I’ve dated a lot of guys that are really into sex and booze and gambling so I wanted to write a record that my boyfriends would like.”

“But something I don’t really talk about is if you listen to the chorus I say ‘he’s got me like nobody’ then ‘she’s got me like nobody.’ It’s got an undertone of confusion about love and sex.”

Hollywood Gossip: Adam Lambert is Gracious in Defeat

Although Adam Lambert might not have left “American Idol” as the big winner, he certainly didn’t leave as a loser after singing with huge stars on stage.

“I felt so good. I got to sing with Queen and KISS! First or second, it doesn’t matter to me; I got to sing with two great heroic rock bands,” Lambert told press.

With 100 million votes, it was a record breaking number that announced Kris Allen as the Season 8 winner.

“I knew it was going to be a close race,” Lambert said to his 23-year-old Arkansas native opponent. “I think Kris is incredibly talented and he’s a good person, so to me it was like, we know it’s going to be close; whatever happens, happens. We’ve made it this far, got to do a really cool finale and we’re both going to get to do great things now in the future.”

Adding to his eventful night, Adam says, “For me, it’s not really about what happens tonight. It’s about tomorrow. It’s about next .”

Meanwhile, Lambert won’t be taking any breaks in between his singing. “I know that we’re going to start working on some music right away, and that’s what I can’t wait to do-collaborate, to write, to co-write and create visuals that go along with the music too. I think that’s going to be really exciting.”

Kara DioGuardi Bests Bikini Girl on Idol Finale

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.

Kris Allen Wins “American Idol” Latest Season 8

Hollywood Gossip: Kris Allen Wins “American Idol” Latest Season 8

It was truly a night to remember as “American Idol” wrapped up Season 8 with a plethora of amazing performances before announcing Kris Allen as the big winner.

And of course when it came time for him to give an acceptance speech, Allen struggled to find words. “Adam deserves this. I’m sorry, I don’t even know what to feel right now. This is crazy!”

It seems Kris’ take on Kanye West’s “Heartless” on last week’s show made all the difference for the 23-year-old business school student. Following his performance Simon Cowell gushed, “I had literally written you out of this competition. That, however, has all changed after that performance.”

The night was chock full of special guests like Black Eyed Peas, Cyndi Lauper, Queen Latifah, Lionel Richie, Carlos Santana, Rod Stewart, and KISS.
