American Idol

Check out this snippet of "Caught in the Middle" from Carrico's 2001 boyband called BFactor. You don't need Simon to tell you how bad it is.

Is skunky Amanda Overmeyer's time in L.A. coming to an end? The "American Idol" contestant took a can of Aquanet to her blond weave hair, then went shopping on Melrose over the weekend.

Our spies saw the "singer" -- complete with spiked out bangs -- browsing for winter coats.

Before fading into fallen "Idol" obscurity, Ruben 'The Velvet Teddy Bear' Studdard and Kimberley Locke can still get their dressing rooms fitted to their liking.

While Locke requests simple and "Fit Club" friendly items like salsa, tortilla chips, and fruit - specifically melons and cantaloupe (ick, really?), Studdard asks for an entire "loft" of wheat bread.

That's a whole lotta PB&J sandwiches.

Unlike her debates with Barack, Hillary Clinton's appearance on "SNL" this weekend came with no arguments from the New York senator.

Sources tell TMZ the skit -- featuring Amy Poehler in Hillary drag -- was written on Saturday afternoon and sent over to Hill's camp for approval. We're told the material was promptly okayed with no edits. She's not the candidate for change!

While sources tell us Clinton skipped the earlier run-through, she showed up to the studio at around 10 p.m. -- blanketed with over 15 security guards and Secret Service. We're told Hillary was a really good sport and left not too long after the opening sketch was finished.

Last season's "rocker" and also-ran Haley Scarnato ('memba those legs?) went to Ketchup together last night and told TMZ who they're gunning for this time around -- and they're skewing a little older in their choices.

At least one of the female contestants has taken cheap, Imus shots at Syesha Mercado, calling her hair "nappy," among other insults -- behind her back. Nice.

And the guys were ganging up against 17-year-old David Archuleta, making snarky remarks, again, behind his back. But who can blame them? Our sources say record execs at 19 Entertainment have already been in touch with top record publishers in Hollywood, and the word has already been sent out to songwriters to write this kid some tunes.

Back in 2001, Robbie, who is this season's Timberfake, was a boybander in something called B-Factor and rocked his very own gelled locks.

Hair -- like fame -- can be a fleeting thing.

She received a suspended sentence of 60 days and was placed on 180 days probation, which ended in August 2007.

According to the National Enquirer, on the night of her arrest Overmyer had a blood alcohol level of 0.108 and spent six hours in the Montgomery County Jail before her fiancé posted her bail.

TMZ has learned the 26-year-old long-haired wannabe's mane is actually a wig and it's got "Idol" execs flipping out. Sources tell us Robbie never talks about his matted down piece and that makes production members feel like it's the blonde elephant in the room. It seems Simon was right last night -- Robbie is a fake!

Where's Sanjaya's pony-hawk or Kat McPhee's extensions when you need them?!

A rep for "Idol" would not comment.

This kid's been a pro for years. TMZ tracked down one of his earlier (and chubbier) performances from the"Jenny Jones" show. Jennifer Hudson eat your heart out -- the kid killed it with a version of "And I Am Telling You ..."

"Jones" wasn't his only pre-"Idol" TV appearance and he may have even had a record deal! For the record, FOX tells us that contestants cannot currently have a management or recording contract.

A source close to Sierra's family tells TMZ former "American Idol" star Jessica Sierra is no longer pregnant, though they would not confirm exactly what happened.

Sierra's pregnancy was revealed in December, while the former reality star was in jail.

Jessica can currently be seen on "Celebrity Rehab" on VH1 and in her Vivid Entertainment sex tape, "Jessica Sierra Superstar," which was released last week.
