"Idol" Record Execs: We're Into the Guys!

TMZ has learned the recording industry has no interest -- at least for now -- in the "American Idol" girls. Their focus is exclusively on two male contestants.

Well-connected record industry sources tell TMZ the major publishers (including Sony and Warner) have already set their sights on David Archuleta and David Hernandez. The record publishers have already told their songwriters to write songs specifically for David-squared, whether they win or not.

Sources say this is the earliest publishers have even committed to the contestants.


Brit Bodymen Smack Paps Down


It was a mad scene outside of Intermix yesterday, where the paps butted heads with Britney's security team as the popwreck left the Robertson Store.

After she celebrated her daddy's extended conservatorship with a shopping spree, Brit and her new beret tried to make it to her waiting SUV -- but couldn't get to it without her bodyguard strong-arming a few photogs to clear a path. TMZ tried to ask a few questions, but due to the insane camera crush, she didn't hear anything.

Hilton: Hybrid Hypocrite?


Paris Hilton has officially gone green -- she got herself an enormous mega-SUV -- but she's keepin' her infamous Bentley, too. Baby steps.

TMZ shot Paris and Benji rolling off the lot with a new GMC Yukon Hybrid yesterday, which gets a whopping 20 miles to the gallon. When we asked if she'd still be driving around in her other, less-energy efficient ride, she ignored the photog altogether.

Al Gore, you got company.

16. David Archuleta is way better than that David. I don't like how that David sings. He makes his notes short and he looks weird when he sings sometimes. After David Archuleta sang, "Imagine" I was hooked! He is the best.

The girls in the competition are another story.....

I can't believe Amanda stayed last week, especially over the girl that was eliminated!

19. It's funny what money will make you do, especially if your a paparazzi. They will do anything to get that "money shot", it's ridiculous to act like an insane person and not think about the other person that they trying to take a picture of. They are like wild animals!! There should be some kind of law, like they can only take pictures from the other side of the street, there should be some distance between them and the subject of their picture. I feel for the celebrities!

21. It's insane how people out there want to see others fail. Instead of coming together and remaining positive, you guys degrade others. What is this world coming to?

I am glad Britney seems to be doing well. I believe she will make a big comeback... I pray for her and everyone else.
