The contestants and judges were in tears during the hometown visits on the May 8 episode of ‘American Idol.’ In the most emotional episode, the top three battled for two spots in the finale and Candice saved the best performance for last. Who will move on?

The tears were flowing and not just from the contestants when they went home for the first time in four months! Judges Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson seemed like they have their mind made up for the top two. Do you agree with them, HollywoodLifers?

‘American Idol:’ The Top 3 Battle It Out

For round one, mentor Jimmy Iovine picked the songs and not all of them were great choices.

Kree Harrison started the night singing Pink‘s “Less Than Perfect.” “No matter what song you sing, you have a strong signature sound,” Keith said. Nicki wants her to wear flat boots so she can move around move. Randy wasn’t in love with the song — it had “no pizzazz.”

Candice Glover sang U2‘s “One.” Nicki said she rivaled Mary J. Blige‘s version of the song. Randy said the third time might be the charm for Candice. All of the judges loved the song choice. “We really felt it. Please believe you will realize your dreams,” Mariah raved.

Angie Miller sang Elton John‘s “Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word.” Randy was curious as to why she didn’t plan the piano but he really liked it. “I felt this was one of the best performances I’ve seen you do,” Mariah said. Nicki said it was a steller vocal but didn’t feel that emotionally connected.

Jimmy gave round one went to Angie.

Round 2 — The Judge’s Picks

After a fun and emotional look at Candice’s trip home, she sang Emeli Sande‘s “Next To Me.” Mariah said: “I can’t see anything but good things happening for you in your future.” Keith said she was “in the zone” and that it was beautiful. Nicki struggled to hold back tears as she said she was so proud of Candice. Nicki told Candice that she is the most confidence girl on that stage every night.

Angie was overwhelmed during her hometown visit to Beverly, near Boston, Mass. The judges picked Pink’s “Try” for Angie. Keith said she looked the most comfortable she ever has during an up-tempo song. Nicki said she is Miley Cyrus‘ long lost twin. Randy said the song fit her like a glove.

Kree’s hometown visit was extra emotional since she lost both parents at age 12 and 19. Kree sang the Rascal Flatts song “Here Comes Goodbye.” Nicki said: “I am so super proud of you. I’m so happy for you. This was one of your best performances to date. You felt every word.” Randy said it was the best top three on Idol — ever. Mariah said she was “overwhelmed with emotion” because Kree is so real. Keith was crying as he told her thank you for the performance.

Jimmy said Kree won the second round.

Round 3 — The Final Shot Before The Finale

For the Idol production picks, Angie sang Emeli Sande’s “Maybe” at the piano. “You sang your heart out. Tonight, you became a complete performer,” Randy raved. “You’re finding your groove Angie,” Keith said. “You’ve come full circle,” Nicki said.

Kree sang The Band Perry‘s “Better Dig Two.” Keith didn’t know if it felt right. Nicki said it wasn’t her comfort zone and she didn’t like that song for her. However, Nicki said she would be buying her record whenever she does leave the show.

Candice sang West Side Story‘s “Somewhere.” Mariah started crying immediately. All four judges gave her a standing ovation! “If you want to vote for Candice, call the number on your screen. If you don’t, call your doctor because you don’t have a pulse,” Keith said. Nicki said, “Four words — see you next week!”

A police dispatcher tape has been released from the incredible mission that saved the lives of three Ohio women who were held captive for 10 years. Listen to the audio from the amazing rescue!

After vanishing approximately ten years ago, Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight were amazingly found alive in their kidnapper’s home. A neighbor, Charles Ramsey, overheard Amanda yelling for help, and discovered the three women at Ariel Castro‘s home, where they had been locked in a basement for ten years.

Police Dispatcher Tape Of Miraculous Cleveland Kidnapping Rescue

“This might be for real,” one police officer said after a call came in from someone named Amanda Berry, claiming she had been kidnapped ten years ago.

“Georgina DeJesus might be in this house also,” another police added. With the sound of a woman crying in the background, an officer yells, “We found em. We found em.”

Listen to the rest of the tape below!

Charles Ramsey: ‘I Heard Screaming’

“I heard screaming, I'm eating my McDonalds, I come outside, I see this girl going nuts trying to get outside,” Charles told local News Net 5. “I go on the porch and she says, 'Help me get out. I've been here a long time.' I figure it was domestic violence dispute. So I opened the door and we couldn't get in that way. We kicked the bottom. She comes out with a little girl and says, 'Call 911, my name is Amanda Berry.' When she told me, it didn't register until I called 911…I thought this girl was dead.”

Hollywood Life: Michelle Knight Forced To Deliver Amanda Berry’s Baby Under Kidnapper’s Death Threat

May 9th 2013, 01:41

How horrible. When Amanda’s baby was on the brink of death, Ariel threatened to kill Amanda if she couldn’t save the baby. Michelle jumped in to give the baby CPR, and miraculously saved both of their lives. Read on for the shocking details.

Michelle Knight, 32, told police that she saved the life of Amanda Berry‘s daughter by giving the baby CPR when she was having breathing problems after she was born. The women’s alleged kidnapper and father of the baby, Ariel Castro, told Michelle she had to save the baby, or else he would kill Amanda.

Michelle Delivered Amanda’s Baby To Save Her Life

The baby was born six years ago in an inflatable pool inside the kidnapper’s house, with little or no medical supplies.

When the baby, named Jocelyn, had trouble breathing after birth, Michelle gave the baby CPR and “breathed for her” in order to save both of their lives. Michelle told police, “If the baby died, he’d kill her.”

After Michelle saved the baby’s life, Ariel forced her to clean up the mess from the birth.

Michelle Miscarried Five Times

Michelle also revealed to police that throughout her captivity, she became pregnant five times, but miscarried all five. Ariel purposely starved Michelle and repeatedly punched her in the stomach while she was pregnant to make her lose the babies.

Gina DeJesus, the third women held captive by Ariel, told police she didn’t believe she ever became pregnant during her decade-long captivity. The police report also said the none of the women received medical care or were ever seen by a doctor during their ten years in captivity.

Hollywood Life: ‘The Voice’ Recap: Top 12 Announced After Shakira’s Shocking Elimination

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail 'The Voice' Recap: Top 12 Announced After Shakira's Shocking Elimination
May 9th 2013, 01:10

And then there were 12! In the first live elimination of season four, each coach had to send home one of their singers. Who did they chose? And which elimination really shocked us?

Adam Levine, Shakira, Usher, and Blake Shelton all suffered with really tough decisions on The Voice on Wednesday, May 8.

Top 16 Narrowed Down To Top 12

After two nights of amazing live shows, it was in America’s hands to decide who stayed and who went. Well, sort of.

America’s votes save two singers per team, leaving two in the bottom half. Out of the two, their coach chooses who should move on and who should be sent home.

On Team Blake, Holly Tucker received the most votes, followed by Danielle Bradbury, leaving The Swon Brothers and Justin Rivers in the bottom two. Blake struggled to decide, and ended up saving the Swon Brothers.

Team Shakira was up next, and (to no surprise) Sasha Allen got the top amount of votes, followed by Kris Thomas. This left Shakira to have to decide between Karina Iglesias and Garrett Gardner. She looked really distraught before making the decision — and admitted that she asked God to help her, so she left it up to fate and drew a name out of a hat. In the end, she said she chose the person who she could help the most … and she saved Garret — really shocking us all.

America gave the most votes to Michelle Chamuel on Team Usher, followed by Vedo on Team Usher, leaving Josiah Hawley and Cathia. Usher was not happy about making that decision and was really surprised! However, at the end he decided to save Josiah.

Of course, Team Adam was saved for last — the most talented of all! Judith Hill received the most votes, followed by Amber Carrington on Team Adam, leaving Sarah Simmons and Caroline Glaser. It was obviously really hard for Adam to choose, saying that he actually won’t actually support the decision he’s being forced to make.

“As much as we like to make music a game, it’s more important than a game,” Adam said. Well put.

Host Carson Daly then actually had to rush Adam with the decision, telling him “you have to save one, we’re off the air in less than a minute.” At the last second, he blurted out “Sarah, we have to save Sarah.” We didn’t even get to see Caroline say her goodbyes and hug Adam!

Cee Lo Green Returns To ‘The Voice’

Meanwhile, there were two fun parts of the show.

When Cee Lo Green took the stage on Wednesday night, for a minute, we forgot what season it was. The former coach rocked out with season two runner-up Juliet Simms to his new song “Only You.”

Also performing this week was Rod Stewart — ironic since last season, Cee Lo had Juliet singing Rod’s “Stay With Me” on season two. Rod performed “Finest Woman” first, and then was joined by Karina, Josiah and Garrett to sing “Forever Young.”

Tell me HollywoodLifers, were you surprised by the results tonight?

May 9th 2013, 00:50

HollywoodLife.com has EXCLUSIVELY learned from a source that Liam’s brothers, as well as his entire family, actually ‘really like’ Miley, despite a new report that they’ve been urging him to break up with his fiancee. Liam and Miley have had their issues, but the source assures his family didn’t tell him to end his engagement.

A new report claims that Liam Hemsworth‘s family pushed him to break up with his fianceeMiley Cyrus, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Although Miley and Liam have hit some bumps in the road in their relationship, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Liam is working on the relationship and his family is 100% behind him.

Liam’s Family Really Likes Miley

“Liam's brothers both really like Miley, his whole family does, they wouldn't gang up on her and stage an intervention to cut her out of Liam's life.” the source reveals, noting that the report that Liam’s family made him break up with Miley is completely false.

Miley & Liam Are Still Working On Their Relationship

The source also says that although the couple has had some problems, they are working hard to salvage their relationship.

“They have a very passionate relationship, and they're both very hard headed so there's a lot of drama,” the source explains. “But Miley and Liam are both still trying to make it work.”

The source adds, “And they have been spending time together. They're just keeping out of the spotlight. They both want all this media attention to go away so they're trying not to feed into it by posing for pictures together or posting stuff about their personal lives on Twitter. And Liam has always wanted Miley to be more private about their relationship, so she's making a big effort to respect that.”

Hollywood Life: Why Rihanna Isn’t Mad Chris Brown Didn’t Go To Her NYC Concert

May 9th 2013, 00:02

Chris chose to skip out on Rihanna’s concert at Barclay’s Center on May 7 in NYC to visit his old Harlem stomping grounds, but Rihanna isn’t upset! Read on for all the EXCLUSIVE details!

Rihanna and Chris Brown are definitely on the outs. While Rihanna, 25, was performing at Barclay’s Center in NYC, Chris, 24, blew her off by not showing up to support her, and HollywoodLife.com has exclusively learned Rihanna isn’t mad about it at all!

Why Rihanna Isn’t Mad Chris Brown Skipped Her Concert

“She had 10,000 other people who came out to see her and she had to perform for them,” says a source close to the pop diva. “She can’t think about [Chris] right now. They’re more important things in life that the bi**h has to focus on. It’s not the end of the world if he doesn’t show for a concert.”

That’s right, Rihanna! In fact, it seems Rihanna has completely forgotten about Chris both during and after her show.

Rihanna Parties With J.R. Smith After NYC Concert

As we’ve previously told you, following Rihanna’s performance, she hit up Greenhouse in Manhattan where she was joined for drinks with her ex, J.R. Smith.

As one source put it, Rihanna is on “good terms with all her exes,” and that she and JR were “both out chilling and celebrating last night — just having a good time.”

As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, the same night Rihanna took the stage at Barclay’s in NYC, Chris had other plans and ditched her concert to visit his old stomping grounds in Harlem. And to add insult to injury, Chris also had the nerve to celebrate his 24th birthday last week in Los Angeles with his ex Karrueche Tran!

Now it’s your turn to sound off, HollywoodLifers. Are you happy Rihanna isn’t sweating Chris much these days?

Poor RiRi has had a rough couple of weeks in her relationship with Chris, and the couple finally called it quits. A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Rihanna has turned to her closest friends to help her get through this tough time!

From Chris Brown, 24, publicly announcing that he’s single to Rihanna, 25, partying with other guys, the couple’s relationship has been full of drama lately. Since the split, Rihanna has been trying to distract herself, and a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that RiRi has been partying with her friends to help her cope with the heartbreak.

Rihanna Distracts Herself By Partying With Friends

“After the Nets defeat on Cinco de Mayo, Rihanna and approximately 20 of her friends came to Pink Elephant in NYC to party till the lights went up,” the source reveals. “She arrived in an oversized shirt and heels and DJ Spade immediately began playing her hits in addition to some of her favorite Caribbean singers. She didn’t drink and just let loose with her closest friends and some of the Nets players to her favorite tunes.”

The source adds that Cinco de Mayo wasn’t the only night Rihanna spent out with her friends. The weekend of April 28th, the “Diamonds” singer and her crew went clubbing together and ran into another famous singer.

“She was dancing with Sean Kingston, but it was all in good fun and happened when “Beautiful Girls” came on,” the source reveals.

The source adds, “Chris’ name wasn’t mentioned at all.  Looks like she’s been keeping herself surrounded by close friends that have been keeping her happily distracted.”

Whether she’s dressing down or getting glam this songstress still manages to stick to her signature sexy style — but which look do you like better? VOTE!

Just days after bearing her back and flaunting her sexy frame on the red carpet at the Met Gala ,Jennifer Lopez continues her stellar style run in NYC on May 8. It looks like the 43-year-old star stuck to a theme, showing off two edgy, black styles — but which look do you like better? Does JLo rock her casual, dressed down get-up or do you prefer seeing her flaunt her sexy side on the red carpet?

Jennifer Lopez’s Z100 Visit Casual Outfit:

JLo first stepped out in NYC in the morning, where she made an appearance at Z100 to debut her new song. While the songstress was just chatting on the radio she still used the opportunity to flaunt her sense of style, wearing a pair of black leather pants and sneaker wedges. A black, draped jacket completed her monochrome look and added a level of sophistication to the casual get-up. While JLo always steals the spotlight on the red carpet she also has such a distinct sense of style when she’s dressing down — and she owns it!

Jennifer Lopez Gets Glam:

The next time she surfaced she swapped her sneakers for a form-fitting LBD. The black dress, (which featured sheer detailing at the neckline), was anything but basic and it allowed the songstress to unleash her inner diva while flaunting her seriously sexy figure. JLo is used to soaking up the spotlight, but on this occasion she was being a supportive big sis! The singer attended the Global Mom Relay event at the 92YTribeca with her sister, Lynda. She sported a dress that hugged her curves and complimented the look with a trendy pair of white pumps. The white hot shoe trend is so popular on the red carpet, and black and white make a perfect pairing!

What do you think? Do you like Jennifer’s casual outfit or do you prefer it when she’s dressing up? VOTE!

Katie looked amazing at the Met Ball in a stunning white Calvin Klein dress, but we especially loved her beauty look! We chatted with her exact hair and makeup artists so you can copy the look!

Katie Holmes was one of the first to hit the red carpet at The Costume Institute Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum on May 6. Her hair and makeup looked amazing against her white dress and tan skin –here’s how YOU can get the look!

Katie Holmes’ Makeup At The 2013 Met Ball

The theme of the gala was “Punk: Chaos to Couture.” Genevieve Herr, makeup artist for Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, worked hard to give Katie an edgy, modern glam look!

“Katie's MET Gala makeup was a departure from her natural look. We took the traditional punk look of black eyes and white lips and modernized it by combining metallic cream shadow with black liner and lots of black mascara to create a winged smoked out eye. We finished the look with a bit of pale pink blush and a beige lip. Pretty in Punk,” Genevieve told HollywoodLife.com.

For the super smokey look, she used Bobbi Brown’s Dark Brow Kit, Golden Bronze Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick on lids, Caviar Eye Shadow as a liner, Jet Long-Wear Eye Pencil as a liner pencil and Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara.

Katie’s Hair — Get The Exact Look

Alterna Haircare’s Global Creative Director, Michael Shaun Corby, is sharing his five easy steps to Katie’s awesome hair:

“1. To ensure maximum volume, spray damp locks from root to tip with Alterna Bamboo 48 Hour Volume Sustainable Volume Spray. Rough blow dry with fingers.

2. Add shine, texture and light hold by working new Caviar CC Cream 10-in-1 Complete Correction Leave-In Hair Perfector into strands.

3. Back comb the top section of the head for added volume from forehead to crown.

4. Sweep hair back to the nape and twist upwards into a loose and messy French twist. Secure with hair pins as you go.

5. The finished look is a bit loose, ensure hold with Bamboo Style Ultra Hold Hairspray.”

Hollywood Life: Jodi Arias: The Jury Probably Won’t Give Her The Death Penalty

Hollywood Life
Latest Hollywood Gossip, News & Celeb Pics
thumbnail Jodi Arias: The Jury Probably Won't Give Her The Death Penalty
May 8th 2013, 22:07

After 18 days of trial, the jury found Jodi guilty of first degree murder on May 8. Court will resume on May 9 for sentencing, and a legal expert EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.com that Jodi is likely to escape the death penalty.

Jodi Arias was found guilty of the murder of her boyfriend, Travis Alexander, on May 8. After two and a half days of deliberations the jury reached a first degree guilty verdict on May 8, and she will be sentenced the following day. Raoul Felder, former federal prosecutor and author of How To Get Away With Murder says that he believes Jodi will avoid the death penalty because she has “built up a bond” with the jurors. Read on for all the details.

Jodi Arias: Death Penalty Unlikely

Jodi, 32, will be sentenced on May 9, and while many speculate that she will receive the death penalty, Mr Felder disagrees because he believes the jury will be more sympathetic.

It is an appropriate verdict because the evidence sustains the verdict. I don’t think they will give her the death penalty. They have seen her every day since Jan 2, day after day. They built up a bond, for months and months now, and they may have found her guilty [but they won't sentence her to death]. She has a semblence of a defense, a fiasco of a defense — she’s a women certain people connect with. They are not going to send her to death.

Mr Felder makes a valid point, as the jury handed her guilty sentence, but they may be more sympathetic with sending her to death row.

Guilty Verdict Reached At Jodi Arias Murder Trial

The jury deliberated the verdict for fifteen hours before making the unanimous decision that Jodi is guilty.

Jodi, 32, was found guilty of murder in the first degree of her ex boyfriend, who was found dead in his shower in Phoenix, AZ, in 2008. Jodi admitted to stabbing him 27 times, and shooting him in the head. His throat was also slit from ear-to-ear.

Jodi could face execution, unless the jury grants her life in prison. She could be eligible for parole after 25 years.

Dr. Glass goes on to say that instead of holding her head down in shame during the reading of the verdict, she starred into the eyes of each juror. This is another telling sign from Jodi that she thought she would be found innocent.
 

“She shot daggers at each of the jurors,” she tells us. “This is a sociopath that thinks she can fool the world. She was sure that she could have gotten this over on the jury … so this was shocking to her. That’s when she looked at each juror instead of bowing her head and feeling remorse.”

Jodi Found Guilty Of Murder

We told you that the jury has been in court since January 2 and deliberating the verdict for 15 hours.

Jodi was found guilty of murder in the first degree and was found dead in his shower in Phoenix, AZ, in 2008. Jodi admitted, after first denying it, to stabbing him 27 in the back and torso. She also shot him in the head and slit from ear-to-ear.

Jodi could face execution, unless the jury grants her life in prison.

Ariel was charged with three counts of rape and four counts of kidnapping in the case of the Ohio missing women, who were found in his basement after missing for more than ten years. What should his punishment be?

On the same day that Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus returned home to their families, the lead suspect in the abductions, Ariel Castro, was charged with kidnapping and rape. Ariel, 52, allegedly held the three women and one child, Amanda’s, captive for approximately ten years.

Ariel Castro Charged With Rape & Kidnapping

Police said that Ariel, and his brothers Olin and Pedro Castro, bound their captives with ropes and chains. The women were rescued on May 6 after a neighbor heard Amanda's cries for help.

Amanda, 27, broke through the screen door and called police. She said, “Help me. I’m Amanda Berry. I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years and I’m, I’m here, I’m free now.”

The Families Believe Justice Will Be Served

Gina's aunt, Sandra Ruiz, spoke to a crowd outside her home on May 8 and said, "There are not enough words to say or express for the joy we feel for the return of our family member Gina. We are asking for your support to be patient with us. Give us time and privacy to heal. When we're ready, I promise you…we will talk to you. Our family will forgive, but we won't forget. [Ariel Castro] will have to respond to the high and mighty."

What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? What should Ariel’s punishment be if found guilty?
