Rose McGowan loves Adam Lambert's voice ... but his personal style, not so much.

We got the outspoken "Planet Terror" star outside Chateau Marmont last night, where she put the "Idol" runner-up on blast -- saying his clothes are "unacceptable" and "too Melrose."
Rose also said Kara's gotta go though ... so at least we can all agree on something.

Paul Abdul is hurt, angry and threatening to quit "American Idol" ... like "60 Minutes" wants to snatch her up.
It's absurd, but Abdul's manager told the L.A. Times, "Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on 'Idol," adding "Idol" producers have been "rude and disrespectful" by not offering her a new deal.
Ok, let's now get real. Our "A.I." spies say Abdul is raking in about 2 1/2 million bucks a year -- a nice check, but compared to the $15 mil a year that Ryan Seacrest just sealed ...
In Hollywood, stars have to talk the walk in order to rob the bank. Paula's manager says since "Idol" hasn't offered her a new deal she's now considering starting a competitive show. Here's the deal ... Paula tried starting her own series a few years back with Paramount .... NIGHTMARE! The idea crashed and burned.
So it's yet another ploy for more moolah, and more power to her. Whatever the deal it's a long way from Paula's first season paycheck -- our "A.I." spies say she was pulling in $5,000 a week.

Thanks to a brand new $45 million deal, Ryan Seacrest will be back hosting "American Idol" next season -- but Kara DioGuardi might have reason to worry.

Seacrest -- who is now richer than fettuccine alfredo -- was eating with Jennifer Lopez this weekend at Madeo when we suggested she take Paula Abdul's place on the panel ... Ryan said he'd love to see J. Lo sitting "next to" her.
They'd be crazy to get rid of Simon ... Kara D., not so much.

Maybe it's just us ... but last night on "American Idol" it seemed Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson could not hide their disdain for newbie Kara DioGuardi. Watch closely as Kris Allen finishes his performance and Randy tries to weigh in, only to be jock blocked by the new chick in town. The looks between Simon and Randy are priceless.
