So its “Top Downloads” week on Idol! Yeah…so…what the heck does that mean?
It means that contestants can choose songs that were #1 downloads on iTunes. We like this theme, because it gives them an opportunity to pick something that was actually recorded in their lifetimes.
Which is good, because no one can complain they have to sing in a genre they are uncomfortable with (i.e. Lil Rounds and country music). Adam Lambert’s been pretty good at picking songs that keep people talking (even when he gives the camera the creepy sex eyes), so it will be fun to see what he chooses.
Ditto for Anoop–we bet the guy will do a song that has the same infectious energy as his take on “My Prerogative”.
As for who’s gonna struggle with the broad theme? Scott, definitely. This guy should have gone home way back when they were determining the Top 36. He makes such poor song choices that we wouldn’t be surprised if he chose a Chris Brown single.
If we could dictate Scott’s song choice, we’d pick something gonzo like The Black Eyed Peas’ “My Humps”. Why not? He might as well go for broke, since everyone has such low expectations of him.
Now Megan, she of the awkward shimmy shake and tattooed arms, has talent. We see it every time she tests out a vocal for each theme’s celebrity mentor. Why that small streak of sunshine translates into a sublime mess when she hits the stage is anyone’s guess.
Megan has a nice instrument, but she needs to learn not to belt her songs like a wannabe Whitney Houston. We’d like her to do a playful, catchy ditty like Feist’s “1,2,3,4″ because it would be a much better showcase for her unique vocals.
Matt probably doesn’t need help with song selection; he’s already typecast himself as an imitation Justin Timberlake with fairly successful results. Somehow he ended up in the bottom two last week, though.
Perhaps he should try something outside his comfort zone, like covering Beyonce’s “Irreplacable”. It could be awesome or completely bizarre. But at least the performance would garner him buzz of some kind, because at the moment everyone’s still getting him mixed up with baby-faced Kris. (Look at the picture above–can you tell Matt and Kris apart?)
So who will be voted off American Idol on April Fool’s Day? 31% of the Predicto Mobile community predict Scott will be sent home, 23% say it will be Megan and 17% say it will be Matt. 29% say it will be someone else who goes home.

March Madness is about to bleed into April, because this year’s Final Four takes place on April 4th at Detroit’s Ford Field. The Predicto Mobile community was correct in predicting that 2 of the 4 top-seeded teams would make the Final Four (Go Predictoheads!).
So which team has the best chance to go…ALL…THE…WAY?
Here’s the breakdown:
No. 1 UConn Huskies vs. No. 2 Michigan State Spartans
The Huskies were dominant in their journey to the Final Four. But will the fact they are accused of illegal recruiting practices start to hurt them on the court?
In any case, there’s no doubt going to make every effort to win the NCAA championship this time out. Especially since the last time they won, Miley Cyrus was only 12 years old. (Do the math.)
The Spartans upset top-seeded Louisville to make their appearance in the Final Four. But it shouldn’t be too surprising considering that of the four teams, the Spartans have been to the big dance the most often (5 times since 1999).
The Predicto Mobile community likes those odds: 56 % of the Predicto Mobile community say that Michigan State will win this Final Four matchup.
No. 1 UNC Tar Heels vs. No. 3 Villanova Wildcats
The Tar Heels want to win for the sake of its star player Tyler Hansbrough, last year’s NCAA Player of the Year, who made the rare move of staying on at UNC his senior year for the chance to win an NCAA championship.
An additional advantage? The Tar Heels (and if you’re wondering what the heck are “Tar Heels”, go here) are the only team going into the Final Four with players who have competed in the high-profile national semifinals before.

If we were Jennifer Aniston, wouldn’t you want to change your name, chop off your famous blond hair, and go hide into hiding somewhere fabulous for the next decade or so?
Because the girl could be twiddling her thumbs on her couch all week doing absolutely nothing, and the tabloids will still find a way to publish a story about her membership in the Heartbreak Club for Sad Single Women.
The title of this blog post is pretty provocative and kind of mean, we admit. But the headline basically sums up every story that is ever written about Jen, does it not?
But the Predicto Mobile community is not a pessimistic sort. They believe that Jen will get over John “I Love Twitter More Than My Girlfriend” Mayer and find someone who’ll return her calls and not hold impromptu press conferences with the paparazzi.
The question is who should it be? Leave your suggestions in the comments below. Our vote goes for the one guy who is an even bigger star then her ex-husband. That’s right, George Clooney. If nothing else, it would create interesting drama for Brad and George. The tabloids would love it! (And maybe we would too.)

Some contestants should thrive this theme, especially Lil Rounds. She has a powerful voice, so she should have no problem tackling a song like the Supremes’ “Stop in the Name of Love”.
Last week Randy tried to pigeonhole Lil by complaining she shouldn’t have tried to sing like “Independence Day” like a country artist, and instead should that she should have sang “I Will Always Love You”. (Like I said, predictable.)
So this week the mother of three has a chance to perform in a style she’s comfortable with–maybe too comfortable. She probably won’t be very daring or inventive singing a Motown tune, and being boring could mean being in the bottom two.
Michael Sarver nearly went home last time, this despite the fact that he should have nailed Country Week since that’s his preferred genre. It’s hard to say how he’ll fare, but we guess he’ll choose a sappy ballad like “Endless Love” so that he can wave at his wife and kids and score some “awww” points with viewers.
Honestly, we can’t imagine what Scott McIntyre’s going to sing. Even if he ditches the piano to better connect with the audience like Paula suggested, the guy loves to choose blandly inspirational tunes.
Maybe he’ll surprise us and do something unexpected and funky like “Brick House”. Then again, that might leave us more speechless that Adam Lambert’s weird sexual take on “Ring of Fire”.
Here’s how the Predicto Mobile community predictions shake down: 25% believe that Lil will be sent home, 21% say it will be Scott, and another 21% say it will be Michael. 33% believe someone else will go home.

Her acting resume includes stinkers like the stripper thriller I Know Who Killed Me, and she’s been out of work since that movie came out two years ago.
But no one is irredeemable–after all, Mickey Rourke of all people earned an Oscar nomination this year! So if Lindsay tones down the late night antics, stops making bizarre European commercials and takes a few acting classes, perhaps she can get back to being A-list royalty.
Will the Mean Girls star stop lamenting her “sicko fans” and start focusing on her career? 59% of the Predicto Mobile community says that Lindsay Lohan will land a film role by July.
If she’s not able to get hired for a movie, maybe she’d like to work for Predicto! Once we heard about Lindsay’s plight, we wanted to help out. So we’re offering the actress $50,000 to be our celebrity spokesman. Really! Check out our job offer to Ms. Lohan at our here.
55% of the Predicto Mobile community believe that Lindsay will agree to be Predicto’s celebrity spokesman by 4/15. Hey you never know–times are tough. Maybe she really will accept.

Warning to All Famous People (A-List to D-List): Don’t go to the zoo. Treat your pets right. Heck–maybe just don’t go outside at all!
Because the animals are coming after you, people. We are serious. Here are two recent examples:
Reality TV Villainess Uses Cat as Weapon. Kenley, that wannabe 50’s girl from Project Runway, got really mad at her former beau Zac. So she threw his cat at him.
Sure, Arlo the cat might not have been a willing participant in the attack, but nevertheless the poor kitty caused injury to his owner.
Plus, Arlo might want to exact revenge against Kenley for dragging him into the domestic dispute. Who’s to say he won’t go after her in retaliation? (A literal catfight, if you will.)
The Predicto Mobile community is split on whether Kenley will be punished for her cat-related crime: 50% say that Kenley will be convicted of assault for throwing a cat at her ex-boyfriend.
Oh Deer: TV Anchor Blindsided While Bike-Riding.Poor Matt Lauer. He was just minding his own business, riding his bicycle down the street, when a deer jumped out of nowhere and karate-chopped him with its hoof.
Okay, maybe not. But the angry Bambi did something to the Today show co-host, because Matt flew off his bike and separated his shoulder. Who knew that deer could be so vicious?
In any case, the Predicto Mobile community knows where in the world Matt Lauer will be my month’s end: 73% predict that he will be back to work at the Today show by 3/31.
We’ll keep track of this disturbing celeb trend for you. In the meantime, visit Predicto.com to learn how you can win fabulous prizes by predicting what will happen next in pop culture, sports and more!

It’s March Madness time, folks! Which means, um, a lot of college basketball games. Yay?
Okay, so maybe you’re not a sports fan. But you still have to be charmed by President Obama filling out his own NCAA bracket for ESPN.com.
He’s an avowed b-ball fan, so it makes sense that he’d have an opinion on how teams will fare in the tournament. (Click here to check out his handwritten picks.)
Personally, we don’t mind Obama participating in a tradition that takes place in dorm rooms and office cubicles around the country. Plus, we bet the prez has the smarts and the skills to make some savvy picks.
Unfortunately, the Predicto Mobile community disagrees: 55% say that Obama’s ESPN bracket will not accurately predict the NCAA Sweet 16.
Hopefully the American public has more faith our president as a leader than as a college hoops prognosticator! By the way, do you like predicting stuff? Then head on over to Predicto.com and get in on the voting action!
What is up with Lifetime Movies? I don’t mean their sappy, formulaic plots (pretty woman, hot guy, romance, danger, etc.), but their ability to break up C-list celebrity marriages!
Tori Spelling fell for her now-husband Dean while they were filming the Lifetime classic Mind Over Murder even though they were both married at the time.
Now country crooner LeAnn Rimes’ marriage might be the latest victim of the Lifetime Movie Curse. She’s allegedly having a steamy affair with her Eddie Cibrian, her co-star in Northern Lights. (Side note: if she is, can you blame her? Look at him.)
US Magazine published a cover story about how they uncovered LeAnn and Eddie’s cozy relationship, including grainy video stills of the two sharing a kiss.
Kids, the first rule of having an affair is to not go out in public so tabloids can publish pictures of your secret dates! C’mon, its Celeb Affairs 101. Get with it.
Anyway, LeAnn and her unfamous hubby have taken to the Internet to address the rumors. She wrote on her blog that this is a “difficult time” for her and her family, and that not everything we read is “as easy as black and white.” (Notice she didn’t deny it though.)
Her hubby Deane was less vague on this issue; he simply wrote on his Twitter page “I love my wife!!!” How sweet. Naive, but sweet.
Her TV movie happens to premiere this Saturday, so the timing is a bit suspicious to have this news come out now. Because the last time LeAnn received this much media coverage was when she won a Best New Artist Grammy like a decade ago.
Anyhoo, 63% of the Predicto Mobile community predict LeAnn Rimes will NOT admit she is having an affair before April.
Although, if she really cared about the ratings for her Lifetime Movie, she would admit to a real life romance with hunky Eddie. Because that’s about the only way people will watch it, trust me.
