Juvenile may not have attended the funeral of his 4 year old daughter, but the rapper actually made it to the Hypnotized Tour in Augusta, GA. Here is the info: It was basically the Southern Hospitaltity Tour that just came thru town. The Hypnotized Tour is a 20 City Tour featuring performances by Plies, Rick Ross, Dream, and Lil’ Boosie and other artists like Juvenile will be joining the tour for special dates. From what I understand, Juvenile went and even showed up at the afterparty. We all mourn differently, but this one makes no sense to me.

One more update for you. We told you earlier this week in E on the Z that Janet Jackson was rushed to the hospital with the flu and therefore had to drop out of performing on “Saturday Night Live” this weekend. Well great job to SNL for working so quickly, they got Mariah Carey to take her place as this week’s musical guest. You know she could have pulled a diva move and insisted that she is not ‘backup’ for Miss Jackson, but she didn’t. I can’t wait to watch. "Superbad" star Jonah Hill will be the host.

Britney Spears has essentially been grounded by her dad Jamie, and is not allowed to do any of her favorite things. Basically she spends her days alone in her room for hours trying on clothes. "She'll change three or four times on days when she's not leaving the house," said a friend. They also claims that Britney keeps a shrine to ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake in her house, although very few people have seen it. "She's obsessed with him. She has pictures of them together and has devoted a private area just to celebrate him."

I realize this is going to sound familiar to Spice Girls fans that have seen “Spice World,” however, we understand this is a real story! In January, a 14-year-old girl named Jessica Knight was tragically attacked and stabbed 30 times while alone in England. Her injuries caused her to suffer a stroke, and slip into a coma, which she remained in for six days. But Jessica was a huge Spice Girls fan and someone in her family was able to contact Geri Halliwell, aka Ginger Spice to let her know what happened. Moments after arriving in Jessica's hospital room, Geri started singing to Jessica and after just a few lines, her arms and legs began moving to the music. Jessica's mother says that the very next day, she opened her eyes, and snapped out of the coma. Yet unfortunately for Jessica, Ginger Spice and her healing voice had already moved on, and Jessica had no memory of her coming to visit.

It took an hour to eliminate one person from the "American Idol" Top 12 last night, which means there was a ton of padding. Did we have to do “On Air with American Idol and hear the contestants and judges answer phone calls from viewers? In the end, it was 24-year-old former male stripper David Hernandez who got sent home. The other members of the Bottom Three were Syesha Mercado and Kristy Lee Cook. "American Idol" is milking the newly-approved Beatles catalog for all it's worth. Contestants will be singing Lennon / McCartney songs again next week.
