The first week of live American Idol performances are now done and we said goodbye to 4 hopefuls this week.

Who didn’t make the cut?

Tyler Grady, Ashley Rodriguez, Janell Wheeler, and Joe Munoz all said so long to being this year’s American Idol by getting the least amount of votes.

Now, thanks to the awesome NYC Blizzard going on, my cable kept going out so I missed most of the boy’s performances, but based of the recap I saw I would say America had it right with the boy’s.  Tyler looked like he was just trying to be way to 70’s cool instead of focusing on his vocals, while Joe tried his hand at Jason Maraz and pretty much failed.

The Girls, well lets put it this way, I can’t even remember their performances so that says enough right there.  Although I do have to say ALL of the girl’s performances this week were pretty weak, with almost all having pitch problems.

EW.com has a Q/A up with this week’s 4 AI exits.

We have 2 more weeks for Semi-Final rounds till we get out Top 12.

With only a week left till Tim Burton’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ opens in theaters on March 5th, Entertainment Weekly is celebrating by having Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter grace the cover for for this weeks issue (available on news stands 3/26).

In the issue both Johnny and director Tim Burton talk about their 20yr movie relationship.

We asked about Alice being in 3-D Johnny had this to say “I’m actually unable to see 3-D,” he says. “I’ve got a weird thing where I don’t see properly out of my left eye, so I truly can’t see 3-D.” Then again, he never likes watching himself onscreen anyway. “So I have an excuse this time.”

Check out everything we have on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and be sure to check in out in IMAX 3-D on March 5th.

Looks like things are rolling right along for the cast of ‘Glee’.  Fresh off their SAG and Golden Globe wins comes what could be the most important invite ever…performing at The Whitehouse.

The Obama’s are big fans of the show and have invited the ‘Glee’ cast to perform at the WhiteHouse Easter Egg Roll.

So, what do the show runners do…move around their schedule of coarse, cause win the President of the United States invites you to his home, that is one gig you don’t turn down!!!

‘Glee’ is currently filming the 2nd half of its first season with new episodes start on April 13th.

Who is Debbie Pelt, for those who haven’t read the books (which you should do), Debbie the ex-girlfriend of a certain werewolve Alcide and to put it mildly she is the “I Don’t Like Sookie” club.

According to EW.com, Alan Ball has beefed up the role of Debbie Pelt for Season 3, which is a YAY.  I kinda like her in the books.
