McGowan -- Glambert Needs a Makeover

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.

Welcome to Hollywood -- Abdul Threatens 'Idol'

Paula AbdulPaul 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.

Seacrest Definitely In ... DioGuardi Out?

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.

Kris Allen -- Don't Blame Me for Thong, Song

Kris Allen: Click to listenThat "angel pink mesh" thong on Kris Allen's wedding registry -- consider it a surprise from his wifey, because he had no idea it was even on there.

The "American Idol" winner talked about the saucy unmentionables on 104.3 MYfm today -- but the best part... his politically correct, but completely insincere answer about Kara DioGuardi's heinous finale song.

Just listen "between the lines."

For a second there, one of the gals thought they were talking about Ryan Seacrest. Kara at least set that straight.

'A.I.' Judges Issue Contempt Citation

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.
