American Idol Season 13 Winner Revealed! Was it Caleb Johnson or Jena Irene?


We'd like to introduce you to the newest American Idol! 


After what has seemed like years, Fox and the voting American public have finally crowned the newest singing sensation. Wednesday night's two hour broadcast was filled with A-list appearances and far too many commercial breaks as the remaining two season 13 finalists Jena Irene and Caleb Johnson awaited their fate. 

After some amazing performances by Phillip Phillips, (we still can't get over that name!) Kiss, Demi Lovato, Paramore, Jason Mraz, John Legend, and many more, it was time for host, Ryan Seacrest, to announce the winner. 

All right, Idol fans, send your tweets of congratulations to…. 

Caleb Johnson!!! 

Not only has Caleb won the title of the newest American Idol, a huge cash prize, and a record deal, he and runner-up Jenna have also won Ford Mustangs. (Hmm… advertising much, Fox?) 


In other shocking new, judge Harry Connick Jr. finally gave a standing ovation not once, but multiple times during tonight's broadcast. We have a feeling he is just as happy as we are to be done with the two-a-week live shows. (It's been more than 13 weeks with NO double eliminations people!) 

Are you happy that Caleb won season thirteen of American Idol? If not, who do you think deserved the top spot? Sound off in the comments below!

Are Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy's hit Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat!


Is there major drama going on behind the scenes of Ariana Grande and Jennette McCurdy's hit Nickelodeon show Sam & Cat?! 


This week, reports surfaced claiming that the future of the show is uncertain as the first season comes to an end and the cast and crew go on hiatus. According to Deadline, there is "discord" on set as many workers have been let go without promise of a second season. 

"We are wrapping up what was an unusually long production cycle of Sam & Cat, and everyone is understandably tired," Nickelodeon told E! News in a statement regarding the show's future. "We are going into our production hiatus next week which will give everyone on the show a much needed rest." 

Reportedly adding to the drama are leaked NSFW photos of McCurdy, 21, which surfaced online last month, and reports that both McCurdy and Grande, 20, sometimes show up late to set and feel "constrained" by the kids-friendly Nickelodeon machine. 


McCurdy also skipped out on last week's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards while simultaneously slamming the network on Twitter. 

"A lot of you guys are asking why I didn't attend the KCAs," McCurdy wrote in a lengthy post. "I wish I could explain everything as thoroughly as I would like to, but unfortunately a simpler explanation is all I can write. I was put in an uncomfortable, compromising, unfair situation (many of you have guessed what it is) and I had to look out for me. I chose to not go because sticking up for what is right and what is fair is what my mom taught me is ALWAYS the most important thing. I want to thank those of you who have reached out with kind words of support, McCurdians and Arianators alike. No matter who or what you support, I believe in supporting fairness first. If you have done that, thank you." 

McCurdy quickly added, "My previous tweet has nothing to do with pics leaked.oh you guys lol," followed by, "It has to do with how nickelodeon treated me. That's all. Thanks for the love." 

Meanwhile, Grande, whose solo music career has taken off over the past year, picked up the Kids' Choice Award for Favorite TV Actress (Sam & Cat also won Favorite TV Show). 

Reps for McCurdy and Grande didn't respond when asked for comment.

Glee Recap: Brittana Make-Ups, Quinn Break-Ups and Musical Shake-Ups

After months and months of teasing us with bits and pieces from Glee's 100th episode

It finally happened. After months and months of teasing us with bits and pieces from Glee's 100th episode, the milestone hour finally debuted on our TV screens and we have to admit: It was definitely worth the wait!

Members of the New Directions, both old and new, came together to bid a sad adieu to the choir room and to celebrate the memories and musical moments that have made Glee a truly one-of-a-kind series. We've recapped the episode's best moments, couple updates, and a fun-filled rundown of 100th episode superlatives.

So here's what you missed on Glee…



Rachel and Mercedes: Step back everyone—we've got another, classic New Directions diva-off! Rachel (Lea Michele) and Mercedes (Amber Riley) were determined to find out who is the most successful glee club alum, so they tackled one of the most difficult and memorable songs in the choir room's history: Wicked's "Defying Gravity." They both sang beautifully, but just before the voting commenced, Santana took a moment to sink her verbal fangs into Rachel and humiliated her in front of everyone. In the bathroom, the diva's bonded over their internal battles with their high school demons, and decided that they didn't care who was declared the winner. However, in a fitting Glee conclusion, the votes also happened to be split down the middle so they were deemed equally amazing.

Mr. Schue and April: Everyone's favorite boozy beauty, April Rhodes (Kristen Chenoweth), was brought back into the choir room as a last ditch effort, by Mr. Schue (Matthew Morrison), to save the glee club from being disbanded. Despite the fact that April controls the funds to the auditorium, Principal Sue (Jane Lynch) revealed that due to Will's extreme and unnecessary spending habits, (Hello, crazy over-the-top Katy Perry jungle scene!) there is simply no more money. Plus, it turns out that April's newfound sugar-daddy froze her assests. Yikes! April used the last of her money to fly her new partner-in-crime, Holly Holiday (Gwyneth Paltrow) at the end to be her partner in crime to try and save to club next week.



Quinn and Puck: Better pucker up, Quinn (Dianna Agron) because someone has his eyes on you! Puck (Mark Salling) arrived in the halls of McKinley looking all-kinds of handsome and mature in his uniform. We quickly learned that since Finn's passing he has really turned his life around, and now he only wants one thing: Quinn's love. Quinn on the other hand was busy trying to keep her crazy past (teen pregnancy, rebellious "skank" phase and Ryan Seacrest tramp-stamp) a secret from her new preppy douche of a boyfriend, Biff (Chace Crawford).

Why did we just call Biff a douche? He didn't even look up from his phone to watch his girl's insanely hot threesome performance of Britney Spear's "Toxic"! By the end of the episode, Quinn came clean about her past, Biff insulted and broke up with her, and Puck kicked the preppy boy's ass and threw him straight into the dumpster. It was quite the fairytale. In the final minutes, Puck declared Quinn to be his soul mate, and said he has always loved her for exactly who she is. She ran after him in the hallway and the two shared a passionate kiss, thus officially confirming that Quick is back together!

Brittany and Santana: Be still our Brittana loving hearts! It turn out that Brittany (Heather Morris) is a full-on math genius, who never dances anymore and hates the fact that her MIT peers only look at her as a number-crunching machine. Santana (Naya Rivera) attempted to coax the old Brittany out with an incredible, perfectly choreographed, duet of "Valerie." It was flawless and amazing and gave us all kinds of nostalgic feels.



Later when the ladies were alone, (and eating churros!) Brittany admitted that Santana is the only person who makes her feel like herself. She also added that after being out in the real world, Brittany is confident now, more than ever, that Santana is the person she wants to be with. Brittany gave Santana one of her oh-so sweet lady kissed, politely dissed Santana's girlfriend Dani, (Demi Lovato) and said she'll be waiting to see what Santana decides to do. And now the entire Brittana fandom is trying to catch their breaths from all their screaming at Santana to go and live happily ever after with Brittany.

Best Performance: It's a tie between "Valerie" and "Toxic" because obviously.

Best Nostalgia Throwbacks: 
- "Fondue For Two," complete with Lord and Lady Tubbington making out in the background.
- Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz) bragging to Marley (Melissa Benoist) that April once taught her how to smuggle meat up her dress.
- Any and all of Santana's snarky remarks, interruptions or insults. Specifically when she referred to Rachel as a "troll" with facial hair.

- Brittany having a chess-filled conversation with Kiki. For those of you who need a refreshed, Kiki is Siri's super smart older cousin who's really jealous of how famous Siri's gotten. She lives inside a super cheap phone that Brittany found at the laundromat.

Moments We Really Wished Had Happened: 
- We were really hoping that someone would've brought up the fact that the last time they saw each other, Santana and Quinn hooked up! It's as if it never happened and now we're starting to doubt our Glee-loving memories…
- Why, oh why were we deprived from a friendly Faberry scene?! When we last left these ladies at graduation, they promised to keep in touch—And now, it's as if they're complete strangers.

Final Thoughts: This episode felt exactly like one of the early, season 1-3 episodes that we all remember and adore, so it was actually pretty damn great!
