A pregnancy might explain the singer’s recent cancellation of a show in Antwerp, Belgium on Tuesday due to “dehydration and exhaustion.” This came after fans and pundits spotted what they believed was a baby bump in photos of her appearance earlier this month at the Met Gala.

If this news proves to be true, the future of Beyonce’s North American leg of her current Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, which comes stateside on June 28 in Los Angeles and wraps August 5 in Brooklyn, might be in question.

“Persistence, determination and a lot of talent. You deserve it,” Ryan Seacrest told Glover, who auditioned for AI twice before her win this season.

Meanwhile, the judges showed off their powerhouse singing with former contestants. Keith Urban‘s new single “Little Bit of Everything” made its television premiere, while Mariah Carey brought us back to the ’90s with a montage of her hits, complete with a wind-blown look. Even former AI judge Jennifer Lopez took the stage with Pitbull for their clubtastic summer jam “Live It Up.” Adam Lambert, Jennifer Hudson, PSY, Jessie J, Travis Barker, The Band Perry, Aretha Franklin, and Frankie Valli also took the Idol stage.

Despite the A-list performers, the Season 12 finale didn’t rack up the numbers. According to Deadline, the two-hour finale last night was down 47 percent from last season’s finale. Idol pulled in 13.61 million viewers last night — 8 million less than the 21.5 million who watched last season’s finale. Season 12 is the first Idol finale to have less than 20 million viewers.

Additionally, the New York Daily News reports that Idol season 12 ratings suffered a 20 percent drop overall compared to season 11 ratings. “While Idol drew a staggering 30 million viewers during its peak in 2006 and ’07, that number withered this year to roughly 12 million,” the paper notes.

With Randy Jackson jumping ship after 12 seasons and the continuous judge changes, nothing seems to be able to revive the ratings.

Last month, Bieber was forced to leave his pet capuchin monkey, OG Mally, at the Munich airport because he didn’t have the correct documentation to allow the pet in the country. Bieber was given 30 days to come up with the papers, and he ultimately decided to give up the monkey.

However, it seems he didn’t tell that to the Munich animal shelter where Mally has been held since being taken away from Bieber. The shelter is now billing Bieber for the cost of care for his monkey. Between general care, food and vet visits for OG Mally, Bieber’s bill is several thousand dollars, according to the Munich customs office.

Furthermore, the shelter is still waiting for a response regarding next actions for Mally. He has a deadline of today to come up with papers with legally reclaim OG Mally, otherwise the monkey will be moved permanently to a German zoo or animal park.

CHICAGO, IL – THURSDAY, MAY 16, 2013: Fall Out Boy performs live at The Riviera Theatre in Chicago, IL. (Photo by Danielle Clasing / B96 Chicago)

After announcing their reunion after an indefinite hiatus this February live at B96/Chicago, Fall Out Boy’s remarkable comeback brought them to their hometown once again for a sold-out show at the intimate Riviera Theatre on Thursday night.

Fall Out Boy bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz took the time to acknowledge the band’s roots during the set. “We’ve been really lucky to be in this band. We rep Chicago around the world,” Wentz shared. The performance featured songs from their entire career, opening the show with “Thriller” from their 2007 album Infinity on High.

They will continue their small venue tour until they hit the bigger arenas this fall. A few days ago FOB announced that they’d be coming back to the Windy City to headline Riot Fest in September.

In their years apart they’ve matured and their new-found sincerity shone through to their loyal fans. The energy in the theater from the floor all the way up to the balcony was a reminder of how intense the fan connection can truly be; endless sweaty, cheering bodies moving to the thumping bass and flashing lights.

Stump has proven that he’s now a seasoned performer with flawless vocals and a dominate stage presence. Wentz, Trohman and Hurley were also very magnetic when they performed “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up),” their first single off their fifth studio album Save Rock And Roll that was released last month.

During the concert, they didn’t forget to remind the audience to pick up some of their merchandise in the lobby before all of the shirts sold out too.

Even though Elton John couldn’t make it, they closed the set with three-song encore beginning with the title track “Save Rock And Roll,” a strange but honest song featuring the lyrics, “You are what you love, Not who loves you, In a world full of the word ‘yes’, I’m here to scream.” With the Chicago flag glaring in the background, it was quite a perfect ending.

A DJ is much different than a turntablist. Just ask C2C.

The French turntable squad of 20Syl, Greem, Atom and Pfeil told Radio.com that basically a DJ does a DJ set, which means the person has two turntables and plays a mix of songs. “He’s playing songs from lots of different artists for people to dance,” Atom said.

What C2C do as turntablists, though, is use their individual turntables to make their own music. They don’t play records. They become the instruments with each member using samples of guitars or drum beats (which they record themselves) to construct original songs. “We interpret our own tracks,” Atom explained.

The guys met in high school and bonded over their love of American hip-hop, which helped them define their sound now. C2C discovered jazz and soul music through the samples that were used on songs from some of their favorite artists like Wu-Tang Clan and Gang Starr.

For their 2012 debut, Tetra, the guys — who won the DMC World DJ Championship four years in a row from 2003-2006 — combined a little bit of everything they listened to as teens. “We have all this musical background and we are trying to mix it with something actual like digital music, electronic music and bring also this ’90s hip-hop stuff like the big beats and bass lines,” 20Syl said.

The guys have been playing together for 15 years, but didn’t start working on their first album until 2010 after taking a break from their side projects. Greem and 20Syl are in a DJ squad called Hocus Pocus, while Atom and Pfeil comprise the DJ duo Beat Torrent. The whole recording process for Tetra took a year and a half, mostly because the band does not use samples and had to personally craft all of the sounds heard on the album.

Atom joked that they don’t use samples for legal reasons, but in actuality, recording all their own sounds gives them the freedom to create the exact vision they want. The hard work definitely paid off. Their bluesy song “Down The Road” was featured in a Dr. Pepper commercial. While their soulful track “Happy,” featuring 75-year-old singer Derek Martin, is getting noticed for its dance-filled video, which was directed by Wendy Morgan.

Those checking out this weekend’s Weenie Roast, where the guys will finish out the night with a dance party, should know that C2C’s live shows are quite different than your average DJ set. “We wanted to break the codes of DJs standing behind turntables,” Pfeil explained.

The guys start out standing in a row on stage, but swap positions throughout the night. They also use visuals on screens set up in front of their turntable stations to help fans understand what’s happening on stage. “The visuals correspond to the sound,” Pfeil said. “When you don’t know about scratching and turntablism this helps a lot…to understand what we do.”

C2C’s ultimate goal is improve the live experience for their fans. And hopefully set themselves apart from the rest of the EDM crowd.

“People are just expecting [us] to play dance music,” 20Syl said. “We play a show like a rock band. People just watching us say, ‘They are not DJs!’ We are trying to do something new.”

Catch them headlining KROQ’s Weenie Roast Saturday May 18 at noon PT. If you can’t make it to L.A. you can watch the webcast from your couch.

“I don’t feel old enough to have kids,” she explains. “I know I am mature. But being responsible for another human?”

And who can blame her. The Oklahoma native’s rise to stardom began in 2005, after winning the fourth season of American Idol, and she’s been busy recording and touring ever since. She’s released four albums, had 16 Number One singles, five GRAMMYs, and a dizzying number of other awards from the Academy of Country Music and other organizations. Her latest album Blown Away is considered her most ambitious project yet.

Fellow country star Brad Paisley sums up her talent pretty simply in the magazine profile. “She’s the best female singer we’ve had in our format maybe ever.”

But the beginnings of fame weren’t easy for Carrie. She goes on to say that she used to have panic attacks, and that all the attention was hard to process. “People were touching me, screaming – it made me really nervous.”

People who know her say Carrie has never been very outgoing. Even her own mother agrees. “She was never really a people person. She liked being outside with animals.”

Carrie admits that opening up to others isn’t her strong suit. “I’m probably not great at talking or understanding emotional things. I’ll totally listen. But I won’t have a lot of advice to give. I’m bad at calling to check in, the long conversation. But in the ways that really matter, I’m there. I would donate a kidney.”

Her husband Mike Fisher, a center for the Nashville Predators hockey team, whom she married in 2010, calls her ” the queen of awkward moments.” But he also admires her honesty, “she doesn’t know how to hide her feelings.” And Carrie describes her hubby as “Mr. Nicest Guy on the Planet.”

In the latest installment of the case of the rotating judge lineup, Nicki Minaj announced Wednesday she would be leaving American Idol after just one season as part of its lineup. Minaj follows longtime judge Randy Jackson, who will be leaving the show after being with it since its inception in 2002.

According to Us Weekly, the plan was always for Minaj to last just one season. An insider tells the publication that the rapper/singer will return to her musical career, including recording a new album to follow up Pink Friday: Roman Holiday.

But Idol isn’t the only show seeing a change in staff next year. Us Weekly also reports that Shakira will be stepping down as judge on The Voice, to be replaced by a familiar face — former Voice judge Christina Aguilera.
