Remember Shannon Magrane? This 16-year old got the attention of American Idol viewers two weeks ago in Savannah - and REALLY got the attention of Steven Tyler, for all the wrong, awkward reasons.

She was back last night, auditioning in Hollywood with a version of "Fallin" and impressing the judges enough to earn a pass on to the next round. Was it well deserved? Watch Magrane do her thing below and try to avoid any sketchy comments about her looks.

Seriously, she's really young, people...

Phillip Phillips is clearly going to win American Idol. It's unclear why we're even letting season 11 play out.

The singer - who had never landed on a plane until he touched down in Hollywood and who impressed us so much with his initial audition of "Superstition" and "Thriller" - embodies pretty much every recent show champion, from David Cook to Kris Allen to Lee DeWyze to Scotty McCreery.

He once again proved his worth last night, as Idol took to California and Phillips took to the stage along with Reed Grimm and Travis Orlando.

Two of the three advanced to the next round. Who will join Phillip there? Watch and find out:

We're lying. It is sort of quite weird.

If you thought New Girl was bizarrre this week, Zooey Deschanel is looking to see your quirky and raise you some surreality on this weekend's Saturday Night Live.

The hilariously cute star, who is hosting the NBC show for the first time, is bringing jazz hands, shares informative Black History Month facts, songs, and fisticuffs.

Seriously, all of that happens in under two minutes. Watch the extended promo for her upcoming visit to SNL, in which she chats with cast member Kenan Thompson:

Whatever transpires when Zooey visits 30 Rockefeller Plaza, it can't be weirder than the Lana Del Rey SNL performance a few weeks ago. So that's good at least.

Chris Brown is planning a crazy performance for the Grammy Awards on Sunday night, according to reports. The star is up for three Grammys - Best R & B Album, Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song - at the annual music extravaganza.

“Chris has been rehearsing non-stop,” a source close to the singer said. “He wants to give the audience and his fans an over top the performance. Chris has put a lot of pressure on himself to deliver, and he will deliver, he always does."

He won't be doing interviews, though ... until 2013 or later.

It was only three years ago that Brown was arrested for felony battery on his then girlfriend, Rihanna, on the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards.

"Chris is hopeful that his performance will close that chapter on his life," says the source. "He will be bringing his mom to the awards ceremony, she is his biggest fan, and he has told her he is dedicating his performance to her."

"Chris has grown tremendously as a person, and an artist from that time in his life. He's complied with all terms of his probation. He has been a model probationer, but more importantly, Chris accepted responsibility for what he did."

Looks like Katy Perry and Russell Brand are a united front in their split.

The parties have "entered into a comprehensive written settlement of all issues, including, without limitation, with respect to property to be confirmed/assigned to each party," it proclaims in big block letters on Perry's response to Brand's divorce filing.

Considering the duo had no children, "issues" largely refers to money and their $6.5 million house in the Hollywood Hills. But even that's not contentious.

Perry also asked that any obligation to pay Brand spousal support be terminated, a key request considering, under California law, Brand was entitled to half of what his much higher-earning spouse made throughout their 14-month marriage.

Russell's not interested in her money, however.

It appears the couple, who have seemingly had nothing to do with each other since acknowledging their breakup, managed to cut an amicable post-nuptial deal.

The doc also includes a check next to the box: "Respondent's former name be restored to." It goes on to specify her full name, Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson.

And that was all she wrote.

Alyssa Bustamante, a Missouri teenager who confessed to strangling, cutting and stabbing a 9-year-old girl because she wanted to know how it felt to kill someone, was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

She murdered Elizabeth Olten in St. Martins, Mo., in 2009.

The judge also ordered Alyssa Bustamante, now 18, to serve a consecutive 30-year term in the armed criminal action charge. Here's her booking photo:

Alyssa Bustamante was 15 years old when she confessed to strangling Elizabeth, repeatedly stabbing her in the chest and slicing the girl's throat.

She led police to the shallow grave where she had concealed Elizabeth's body under a blanket of leaves in the woods behind their neighborhood.

With her hands shackled to her waist and her feet shackled together, Bustamante rose and faced Elizabeth's mother and siblings on Wednesday.

"I know that words," she said, pausing for air, "can never be enough and they can never adequately describe how horribly I feel for all of this."

She added: "If I could give my life to get her back I would. I'm sorry."

He's not just a pretty face. Prince Harry was given an award for "best copilot gunner" Wednesday as he completed his intense training in Apache helicopters.

Harry, 27, was named "best front-seat pilot" - the officer who takes control of the mission and its weapons systems and sights - among his 20 fellow pilots.

He was given a polished 30mm round from an Apache cannon mounted on a stand as his trophy. More importantly, he attained limited combat-ready status.

A captain in the Army Air Corps, Harry will be assigned to 662 Squadron, 3 Regiment Army Air Corps within 16 Air Assault Brigade to gain more experience.

Part of his 18 months' training was carried out in California and Arizona, where he had to learn to handle the aircraft in mountainous and desert conditions.

He also took part in live firing training. Colonel Neale Moss, Commander of the Attack Helicopter Force at RAF Wattisham, where Harry was based, said:

"The Apache course is extremely challenging, teaching and testing students in their flying skills, decision-making and mental agility on exercises all over the country and abroad. This requires composure, dedication and hard work."

Early next month, Harry will be venturing to the Caribbean and Brazil as he undertakes his first royal tour on behalf of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

Jake Pavelka has scored a gig with Chippendales in Las Vegas.

Somehow we're not altogether surprised.

The reality-TV staple signed on as a celebrity guest host to help Chippendales celebrate its 10-year anniversary in Las Vegas' Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino.

The gig will last from Feb. 23 to March 18 and give Jake Pavelka, according to a press release, a chance to "use his charm, sex appeal and hosting skills to keep the women entertained while leaving the dancing to the men of Chippendales."

Mmm hmm.

Jake, for those unaware, was a contestant on The Bachelorette, then the star of The Bachelor, then appeared in DWTS, Bachelor Pad and Vienna Girardi.

Roland Martin may have been joking about Super Bowl-related topics with some off-color Tweets Sunday night, but his bosses at CNN definitely didn't find it funny.

The political contributor has been suspended by the network after his remarks - most notably about David Beckham's H&M underwear ad - were called homophobic.

Gay-rights powerhouse GLAAD pushed hard for CNN to fire Martin. That did not happen, but disciplinary sanctions were taken, and his return date is not clear.

In a statement, CNN said:

"[Martin's] tweets were regrettable and offensive. Language that demeans is inconsistent with the values and culture of our organization, and is not tolerated."

"We have been giving careful consideration to this matter, and Roland Martin will not be appearing on our air for the time being."

Martin fired off the controversial tweet (above) during the Super Bowl.

In another, he wrote, "Who the hell was that New England Patriot they just showed in a head to toe pink suit? Oh, he needs a visit from #teamwhipdatass."

Martin tried to backpedal by issuing an apology Monday.

We've seen Eddie Cibrian naked for Charisma. Now we're seeing him ... almost naked. The actor is stripping down again for the brand, this time for the purpose of modeling some fluffy, soft towels in a sexy Spring 2012 ad campaign.

Appropriate, since he's wearing nothing but:

Cibrian, divorced from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Brandi Glanville and married to country singer LeAnn Rimes, tries to keep the modeling job in perspective.

“You have a lot of people on the photo shoot looking at you, going, ‘Oh that looks wonderful, that’s unbelievable ... those [towels] look great,’” he said.

“I realized it was all about the product, and not about me.”

Still, Cibrian, who appears in the upcoming Tyler Perry film Good Deeds, makes it pretty hard to focus on those towels ... are we right ladies?
