I’m sorry if this post doesn’t make a lot of sense, I’m way too busy listening to the new Tori Amos track to pay attention to anything else, but apparently some chick staffer over on AI is running around telling every paper who’ll listen that the Top 4 for AmIdol have already been chosen by producers:

The female “AI” worker told a “group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace,” said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, “Those ARE the people,” saying it wasn’t mere speculation.

If it was just her prediction, she’d be spot-on with this week’s TV Guide, which also chose those exact four wanna-be crooners as its picks for stardom.

But the lass took it a step further, claiming that higher-ups at the hit Fox show were taking an issue with two of the top contenders.

“Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds are better singers and musicians than Gokey and Grace, but they’re too much like past winners and ‘A’ successes,” the woman said. “Adam’s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry, while Lil Rounds is a dead ringer for Fantasia. Even their background stories are similar!

“The producers really want it to be Danny or Alexis. They think they’re very commercially viable, have a good image and a great story.”

Now, listen, it wouldn’t be like some huge coup if those people were the final four. They’re already easily the front-runners, but I take serious issue with the statement that my gay-man-crush Adam Lambert is even a little bit like Chris Daughtry. OMG they are soooo different. I was never into Chris. But ooooh my sweet Adam. I love it when he’s on stage. My little heart just goes all a-flutter. Plus, I think we’re all counting Allison Iraheta out a little too soon. That girl’s got chops and stage presence, and I think she has a chance to beat out Alexis and Lil as our female front-runner in the end. No one paid any attention to Jordin Sparks at the beginning, either.

Ohhhhhhh it’s finally beginning!!!!

We’ve got the first track leak from the new Tori album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. The track is called “Welcome to England,” and you can hear it here.

I’m am not a particularly unbiased opinion, but I looooove it. Tori can do NO WRONG in my book. I can’t wait for the full album. I LOVE YOU, TORI!!!

Tori’s playing SXSW on Thursday, and she’s gonna do new material, so hopefully we’ll hear even more songs from the new album then!!

Word on the street is that Christina Ricci just got engaged to her comedian boyfriend, Owen Benjamin, although her reps haven’t confirmed it yet.

Christina was apparently out doing some drinking to celebrate this weekend — and, if you read between the lines of Ted Casablanca’s column, probably putting some party favors up her nose. I am of course referring to, uh, nose rings.

Our source was partying at the Palihouse in West Hollywood last Saturday night with his pals next door to the Ricci/Benjamin bash. He briefly spoke to Owen himself, who confirmed it was his engagement party, while Ricci and the couple’s cohorts were in the room engaging in all types of typical late-night H-wood hotel room behavior.

Our source lost an amigo at his shindig, and called the dude’s phone looking for him. Looks like somebody snuck into the wrong fete, since it was Christina Ricci who answered on the other line!

Acting out-of-it from indulging in silliness more appropriate for a bachelorette party, not an engagement soiree, CR started screaming she would “call the f—-cking cops” if our source kept calling her—even ‘tho it wasn’t her phone! Who knew such feisty things came in tiny packages?

Congrats to Owen and Christina! Good luck with this, kids.

At first I thought it was just some weird lighting, but after looking at all these photos, I’m fairly certain that strands of Julia Roberts’ hair was dyed pink at the NYC premiere of her new film Duplicity. I have no idea why.

And I have to say, she looks amazing. There’s definitely been some work done in the past few months, but whoever her plastic surgeon is, I want his number. She looks fantastic! Except for the mouth. It’s still kind of ridiculous when she smiles. But, ya know what, she was born with that mouth. She chose those shoes. You have a much better eye for plastic surgeons than for footwear, Miz Roberts.

Kristen Stewart: Now not giving a fuck at the Adventureland premiere in LA.

But this time it’s good news!

Not only is Natasha not dead, but now TMZ is reporting that she’s not brain dead either. She’s experiencing brain swelling and is sedated, but is NOT brain dead.

Hopefully this is true, and the doctors can get everything under control and save her life! Go modern medicine, go!!!!
