First, the American Idol finalists listened to the judges last night.

Then, they were given the freedom to select their own songs.

Finally, Phillip Phillips, Jessica Sanchez and Joshua Ledet were tasked with a cover by Jimmy Iovine, closing a busy evening with the following three performances. Which did you like best?

-------------------------------------------

Joshua Ledet was given a Mary J. Blige track, "No More Drama." Watch and listen and compare now to his take on John Lennon.

Joshua Ledet - "Imagine"

Jessica Sanchez went old school with "I'll Be There," a single made famous by the Jackson 5 and then even more famous by Mariah Carey.

Jessica Sanchez - "I'll Be There"

Phillip Phillips then went romantic with Bob Seger' "We've Got Tonight," proving that he doesn't always need a guitar in his hands.

We told you Kanye West would appear on season seven of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

And now you can see for yourself.

In a new E! promo for the season premiere, which airs on Sunday, we get a glimpse of Kanye and Kim at dinner, along with Khloe talking about the rapper and making it seem like this relationship is nothing but a publicity stunt. But that would be crazy, right?

Elsewhere: Kim wears wigs; Kourtney cries; Kris recalls a past love; Lamar Odom considers his NBA career; Scott Disick yells; and THG almost loses our dinner. Watch the totally unscripted madness now:

Justin Bieber has learned a lot in Hollywood - and, unfortunately, not all of the lessons have been positive.

"I keep my guard up a lot," the singer says in the latest issue of GQ. "Because you know, you can’t trust anyone in this business. That’s what’s sad. You can’t trust anybody. I learned the hard way.”

Clearly, that's not entirely true for the Biebs, considering his close relationship with Usher and, of course, with Selena Gomez.

Elsewhere in the interview, responds to a question about alcohol intake with:

“For me, it’s just like, I like to be in control of myself. I mean, I’ve had a beer, like, before... but I never get out of control.”

For a lot more from the most powerful 18-year old in Hollywood, pick up the latest issue of GQ. It has Michael Fassbender on the cover.

Megan Fox turns 26 today and allow us to offer this piece of advice to anyone wanting to with her a happy birthday AND a happy pregnancy:

Stick to the former. Fox can be a bit prickly when asked about the latter.

Still, between you and us, the actress and Brian Austin Green are reportedly expecting their first child together and we wish them nothing but the best.

Professionally, meanwhile, Fox is starting to land roles that see her as much more than a pretty face. She appeared this year in critically-acclaimed hit Friends with Kids and will next be seen in the quasi Knocked Up sequel/spinoff, This is 40.

Wish Fox (and David Boreanaz! And Janet Jackson! And Tori Spelling!) a happy birthday now and then click through this montage in her honor:

Rachel Uchitel and her vagina are back in the news, but for reasons other than her publicized affair with Tiger Woods.

The well-known mistress gave birth last night to a little girl, her husband's Facebook page confirms, at Matt Hahn has announced his daughter is named Wyatt Lilly and she weighs in at seven pounds, one ounce.

Uchitel took full advantage of her pregnant state over the course of her third trimester, posing in in a sheet and without a shirt on for photographer Nancy Alcott.

She and Hahn got hitched in October, about two years after her name surfaced as the mistress that initially got Woods into trouble with his wife and led to that golfer's precipitous downfall on a personal and professional scale.

But, hey, we wish the new family the best of luck!

Nick Stahl, an actor best known for his role on Terminator 3, has been reported missing by his wife.

Law enforcement officials have confirmed to TMZ that the actor's wife filed the proper paperwork on Monday, stating she last saw the man behind John Connor on May 9.

There is reason to fear the worst, too, as Stahl's wife also told a court in February that Stahl was using drugs and often frequented the downtrodden Skid Row section of Los Angeles.

No word yet from Stahl's reps, but we'll update this story as news breaks.

You won't believe this, but the relationship between 52-year old Linda Hogan and her 23-year old fiance is over.

The ex-wife of wrestler Hulk Hogan announced she was engaged to Charley Hill in July 2010. But nearly two years later, she has posted on her Facebook page:

"Ok... My status has changed. I am now single. After the great therapy we had together and time to think and concentrate on who we are and who we want to be, Charley and I decided that we should each travel through life in different directions."

Hogan then sent a special message to her fans, raising the question: Linda Hogan has fans?!?

"But, thank you all for always being so supportive of our relationship and choices. I hope that you all understand and are not be too terribly disappointed. Love you!" she wrote.

Linda divorced Hulk one year prior to agreeing to marry Hill, and later accused the former WWE grappler of abuse.

Taylor Armstrong is continuing to fall apart before our very eyes. Or before Bravo cameras, really, as producers' plans luck may have it.

Following reports of Armstrong getting blitzed at a recent kids' birthday party, sources now tell Radar Online that Armstrong suffered a "catastrophic meltdown" during a spa trip over the weekend.

"Taylor was wasted from the moment she appeared in the morning until the moment she collapsed at night," claims this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills source. "It was a horrific sight to see. She totally lost control of her emotions and her temper. She is an absolute complete mess, but she refuses to acknowledge that she has a problem."

Well, sure. That's because the script hasn't called for it yet.

The incident took place at Ojai Valley Inn, with witnesses claiming Armstrong was "all over the place" while shooting scenes with cast members. These same friends have allegedly been pushing for Taylor to enter rehab. Expect the crux of her season three storyline to be this supposed substance abuse problem.
