Claudia Conway Brought Her Mom Kellyanne Conway To Hollywood Week Of “American Idol”
I’ve got side-eye anew for Kellyanne Conway’s rebel child who parlayed being a brat to her mom on the internet into a stint on American Idol which has caused Kellyanne to rise from her tomb and haunt the airways twice now! According to the Huffington Post, 16-year-old Claudia Conway brought her mom Kellyanne to Hollywood Week having made it past her initial audition based solely on talent and talent alone. OK, hard work. Well, OK, her name. Fine, it was her mother’s name. OK, OK, it was Donald Trump‘s name. It’s all Donald Trump’s fault. And really, that means this is on us, America. We did this to ourselves.
Claudia Conway Made Her “American Idol” Debut
America. 2021. As expected, reviled Trump lackey Kellyanne Conway makes an appearance on American Idol to support her 16-year-old daughter Claudia Conway. You know, the Gen-Z social media star who hates Trump and broke the news that her mother had COVID on TikTok. Claudia admits the Internet can be a very dark place, but “when life is all going downhill, I have my music.” Yep, this teen sings. And, SPOILER ALERT, American Idol is going to use her some more because they gave her a Golden Ticket to the next round in Hollywood.
Linda Perry Dared “American Idol” To Hire Her Because She’s “Fed Up With That Shit”
Musical artiste and producer, Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes, has worked with all the big names like Dolly Parton, P!nk, Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani, Christina Aguilera, etc, etc. And while she had her own short-lived music-talent reality series on VH1, Make or Break: The Linda Perry Project, she’s never made it into the mainstream of Build-A-Pop-Star competition shows. Well, she wants to change that. Linda spoke with Yahoo! Entertainment and challenged American Idol to hire her because she’s “a star” and she’s “fed up with that shit.” Put that on my epitaph: “I’m a star and I’m fed up with this shit.”
Open Post: Hosted By Paula Abdul Not Being Able To Name One Winner From The “American Idol” Reboot
American Idol debuted in 2002 and during the first few seasons, it delivered actual stars like Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and the biggest star of them all, William Hung. While it had a solid few years, the show originally judged by Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson fizzled out. It cycled through a plethora of judges including Ellen Degeneres for some reason, and even though it kept eternal host Ryan Seacrest rolling in the money, it finally came to a close in 2016 after 14 years on the air on Fox… And was subsequently remade and brought back to ABC in 2018 to once again keep Ryan Seacrest in the money. OG judge and iconic mess Paula talked about the show on Andy Cohen‘s Watch What Happens Live! and she was perfectly PC, but when he asked her to name a reboot winner, she couldn’t. Skat Kat got her tongue!
ABC Executives Are Worried That Ryan Seacrest Is Working Too Hard
One of the more annoying memories of the early 2000s has to be the time when American Idol cursed us with Ryan Seacrest––and almost 20 years later, he’s still around, peddling that faux charm across every media platform in existence––even during quarantine. And when Ryan seemed like he was having some kind of medical emergency on live TV during the American Idol finale, his rep blamed good old exhaustion and now we’re hearing that ABC is worried that their hardest-working cyborg is overworked.
Orlando Bloom Proposed To Katy Perry In A Helicopter
I tell you, Fuck You money is wasted on the unimaginative basics of this world. For example, Katy Perry was on Jimmy Kimmel Live to promote season 17 of American Idol and told the adorkable story of Orlando Bloom’s Valentine’s Day proposal. For the super wealthy, nothing says tacky over-the-top romantic gesture quite like a surprise helicopter ride (with the exception of a private Kenny G concert in your “living room”), so that’s exactly what Orlando did. And where did he whisk his lady-love away to, you ask? A private island? A secluded mansion on a remote coast? An aircraft carrier to be greeted by Cher and a thousand scantily clad seamen? No. After a mile-high, bumbling proposal with a bottle of champagne and a note, Orlando had them land on a rooftop probably less than a mile from where they got picked up. Boo. Look, Orlando’s was in 4 Pirates of the Caribbean movies. He can afford Cher’s per diem.
