American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas DeLuca, were found dead in their Los Angeles home on July 14, in an alleged double homicide. Police have arrested 22-year-old Encino resident Raymond Boodarian as a suspect.

The ongoing investigations have led the authorities to believe that Boodarian entered the late couple’s home through an unlocked door while the couple was away on July 10. When they returned, a heated confrontation led to the suspect shooting them and fleeing the scene.

The Los Angeles Police Department official statement reveals that there were no signs of forced entry to the residence, which is why they did not enter the home when a neighbor reported someone hopping the fence on the day of the homicide. The bodies weren’t discovered until the LAPD responded to another call for a welfare check on the same day they found the couple. Interviews with the couple’s friends and family,...

An arrest has been made after longtime American Idol music supervisor Robin Kaye and her husband, Thomas Deluca, were killed following an apparent double homicide.

American Idol, in a statement from a spokesperson and obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, said, “We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom’s, passing. Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her. Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.”

Kaye, a veteran of music reality series, worked for American Idol from 2009 to the present day. She was responsible for clearing all songs used or performed on the show and was instrumental in getting Led Zeppelin to sign off on an Idol performance of “Whole Lotta Love” — a standout of...

Mandisa died of complications of class III obesity, People reported. Her manner of death was listed as natural.

According to the autopsy report obtained by the outlet, the artist was found dead at her residence by friends and she “was last known alive approximately three weeks” earlier. The Grammy-winning contemporary Christian singer died on April 18 at the age of 47.

The star, whose full name was Mandisa Lynn Hundley, finished ninth on American Idol. Soon after, she carved out a career in contemporary Christian music and in 2007 released her debut album,...

One of Santa Barbara‘s premiere supercouples will reunite (again) on General Hospital, when Lane Davies, Nancy Lee Grahn’s scene partner on the long-defunct NBC sudser, pays a return visit to the ABC soap — but in a different role.

On NBC’s Santa Barbara, Grahn played legal eagle Julia Wainwright to Davies’ Mason Capwell, the black sheep of the uber-wealthy Capwell clan. An original cast member, Davies parted ways with Santa Barbara in 1989; Grahn, who joined its cast early in its run, stuck with the NBC soap until it went dark in 1993.

Christian gospel star Mandisa was honored on Monday’s episode of American Idol with a special performance by former contestants Colton Dixon, Danny Gokey, and Melinda Doolittle.

The trio, all dressed in white, sang Mary Mary’s 2000 hit “Shackles (Praise You)” in remembrance of the beloved singer. “I’ve known her for over 20 years,” Doolittle said following the tribute. “We started off singing background and sessions together and then she got on Idol and I cheered for her.

Three longtime members of the American Idol family returned on Monday to honor one of their own — Season 5 contestant Mandisa, who died on April 18 at age 47.

Colton Dixon (Season 11), Melinda Doolittle (Season 6) and Danny Gokey took the stage for an emotional group performance of Mary Mary’s “Shackles,” a song Mandisa covered when she was in Season 5’s Top 10 back in March 2006.

American Idol paid tribute to the late Mandisa, the late Season 5 contestant who died earlier this month at the age of 47.

To honor Mandisa’s life, Idol alum Colton Dixon, Melinda Doolittle, and Danny Gokey returned to the stage and performed “Shackles” by Mary Mary.

Mandisa sang “Shackles” as a contestant on American Idol, saying back in 2006 that the song meant a lot to her “because it’s a testimony that there’s nothing too hard for God.”

At the end of the performance, the trio shared some words about Mandisa.

“I’ve known her for over twenty years,” Doolittle said. “We started off singing background in sessions together. And then she got on Idol, and I cheered for her, and I came the next season, and she cheered for me. That is my girl through and through.”

Gokey said that Mandisa “was a fan of people,” adding, “She was...

ABC has confirmed a tribute to Season 5 “American Idol” star Mandisa will take place on Monday, April 29. The Grammy-winning singer was found dead in her home on April 18, 2024. The cause of death has not yet been determined, but Franklin Police Department officials in Tennessee said, “There is no indication the death was the result of suspicious or criminal activity.” Mandisa was 47 years old.

The tribute will take place on Monday’s “Judge’s Song Contest” episode. “Idol” alum Colton Dixon, Melinda Doolittle and Danny Gokey will perform “Shackles” by Mary Mary as a tribute to their friend.

Dixon was a Top 7 finalist on Season 11 of “American Idol,” Doolittle finished third on Season 6 and Gokey finished third on Season 8. Like Mandisa, all three consider Tennessee home and share a love for Christian/gospel music.

In January, Colton Dixon celebrated his wedding anniversary with wife Annie, marking one year since the couple made headlines with their decision to save sex for marriage. Now he has a new album—and music video premiering exclusively with People—leading him into spring.

Transitioning from rock into “more of a pop thing,” Dixon says making Identity, his new record out March 24, is the most fun he has had making an album. Split into three sections—mind, body and spirit—the Idol alum says it is a lot of territory to explore, and marriage has influenced a lot of that.

Kieran, turn out the lights.

Our American Idol “journey” has come to an end, but let us not weep for what’s been cancelled, let us instead go to iTunes and download the Season 15 winner’s new single. Hey, from a songwriting vantage point, it may not be “Home,” but it definitely ranks above “No Boundaries” and “Inside Your Heaven” — and we bought those, too. And if this show can produce one more bona fide radio/touring superstar, maybe the inevitable reboot will happen sooner than expected, no?

American Idol continued its 13th season Jan. 16, bringing us the second night of auditions from around the country. And while the judges – Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. – remained their typical charming selves, the contestants were full of surprises! Certainly, the biggest surprise of the night was that we are officially on our second generation of American Idols! That’s right, the son of a former AI runner-up, Tristen Langley, performed in front of the judges! (We’ll give you a hint — his parent was from Kelly Clarkson‘s season.) See below if he made it to Hollywood and to see our five favorite performances of the night!

‘American Idol’: Our Top 5 Auditions From Jan. 16

1. Megan Miller,...

Angie Miller is proud to be among American Idol (TV)'s Top Three finalists. Despite her shocking and emotional elimination last week, the 19-year-old singer has wasted no time in putting things in clear perspective. The Boston native is now looking forward to a summer tour with her fellow contestants (whom she now calls her best friends), and a debut album which she is poised to create and can't wait to share. Angie sat down with journalists recently to talk about her experience throughout Season 12 , as well as her unexpected elimination. In this candid interview, she shares her plans for the future, the lessons she's learned, and her love for Candice and Kree. Here's what she had to say. Has the shock worn off? I know I’m still shocked. Yeah. It’s worn off a little yeah. Do you feel that winning Idol would bring you that much more...

Life is not a fairytale. Yes, yes, that was the title of American Idol Season 3 champ Fantasia Barrino’s 2006 autobiographical Lifetime movie — don’t try to act like you didn’t watch it, too! — but it was also a subtitle that could be applied to any possible outcome on Season 12 Top 3 results night.

Indeed, whether you entered the night rooting for a Candice/Kree, Angie/Candice or Kree/Angie finale, there simply couldn’t be a 100 percent feel-good happy ending after the credits rolled, the “19″ logo sparkled and twinkled and Fox switched over to the season finale of Glee.

Look, maybe you and your stepson are right and American Idol has jumped the shark. I accept your wrongness/common sense. But if you tuned in last night to the Top 6's "Burt Bacharach/Songs You Wish You Wrote"-themed evening, you can't deny that it delivered everything that has ever mattered about American Idol, including vocal triumphs, ferocious attitude, the dismal failure of a teenage dandy, Randy Jackson's gift for thoughts, 17-year-olds being forced to perform the songs of Jackie DeShannon, and Ryan Seacrest's attempts at empathy. Every time he nervously puts his hand on Lazaro's shoulder, it's like a deleted scene from Speilberg's A.I. is upon us.

Then there's the other emotionally troubled member of the American Idol brain surgeon gallery: Mariah Carey. I've defended her long enough and still believe she delivers an iota's worth of real advice every 15 minutes or so, but man,...

The April 3 episode of "Arrow," titled "Unfinished Business," sees the deadly drug Vertigo -- and its creator, The Count (Seth Gabel) -- return to plague Starling City.

"Vertigo is back and more dangerous than ever," star Stephen Amell told The Huffington Post at WonderCon. "Because Tommy [Colin Donnell] and I have both had run-ins with the law based on drugs, when we find out that a girl got high on Vertigo in Verdant, I cast a suspicious eye his way and he does not appreciate it -- and nor should he."

Oliver's not the only one who's suspicious of Tommy -- Detective Lance (Paul Blackthorne) is too; and worse, he's the father of Tommy's current girlfriend, Laurel (Katie Cassidy). Awkward.

"He doesn't really like me in the first place, does he?" Donnell laughed. "There's an accusation from [Lance], and he doesn't exactly have his best friend sticking up for him right away, which really causes a big problem.

After Devin Velez was voted off American Idol last week, Nicki Minaj went on a Twitter rant against him. Now Devin is responding to those attacks -- is he hurt by what she said? Also in today's Roundup, following the April 4 results show, additional behind-the-scenes footage will air showing what happens after someone is voted off. And Colton Dixon has received a huge boost in album sales following his return appearance on Idol.

Guys, tell me if I've had a little bit too much of Paula Abdul's Percocet margarita, but are we on our way toward all-female top five? I'm both giddy and a little unnerved. Are these results doctored? I'm scared of the truth. But I'm ready for the truth, if it means the Top 5 reign of <3 Amber <3. Or Candice or Not Angie.

Anyway, here are 25 fiiiiine observations from last night's perfectly palatable elimination show.

1. Ryan Seacrest announces this is the 450th episode of Idol. I'm starting to think they'll never resolve that Brian Dunkleman subplot. 

2. Uhhh, Lazaro wore white suspenders with a white belt (Nerd alert? Emily Dickinson alert?), a gold bowtie, and a palm tree-emblazoned dress shirt. I hope it was a Holy Thursday outfit, because I sure wanted to crucify him.

3. The top 8 sing the unthinkably dated "That Old Time Rock 'N Roll." My soul = not soothed. If...

It was the 450th episode of ‘American Idol’ on March 28 and although it showed the incredible success of the show, it also meant another ‘Idol’ hopeful was sent home.

After the top 8 sang songs from Motown on March 27, judges Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey, Keith Urban and Randy Jackson had to wait and see what happened on the results show on March 28. America’s votes determined the bottom three…see who was in jeopardy below.

Mentor Jimmy Iovine critiqued the top 8 and said he thought Lazaro was going home.

Before The Results — Three Stellar Performances

11th season contestant Colton Dixon sang his new single “Love Has Come For Me.”

One Republic sang “If I Lose Myself” featuring Katherine McPhee from season five.

Idol judge Keith Urban also debuted his newest single, “Long Hot Summer.”

‘American Idol’ Results — Bottom Three Revealed

Kree Harrison, Candice Glover, Janelle Arthur, Angie Miller, and Amber Holcom were all named safe.

After singing the songs of Motown last night, the American Idol Top 8 will learn their fate. One of them will go home on the 450th episode of this epic singing competition.

Former Idol contestants Katherine McPhee and Colton Dixon perform, as will Idol's newest judge Keith Urban. Ready to roll, TV Fanatics?

The opening group number pays tribute to Bob Seger. If I were Bob Seger, I'd want my tribute back. The tempo is all jacked up and this is not the song for funky vocal runs. That was a disaster like just about every other large group number ever on this show.

Moving on to Jimmy's thoughts.

Jimmy said Candice Glover gave the other contestants a lesson in how to perform. She's a natural. Jimmy agreed with Nicki's critique of Janelle and Kree's duet and said Janelle has to work on her ability to harmonize. Lazaro Arbos did...

On the "American Idol" Top 8 performance night, Angie Miller faltered a bit, while Lazaro put forth his best performance in weeks. Will Angie be in trouble?

We doubt it -- Devin is probably headed home. But you never know. However, before we can get to any results, we have to be treated to roller rink anthem "Old Time Rock 'n Roll," complete with Janelle being dressed a truck stop waitress and some kid's-birthday-party-magician puffs of smoke in the background.

Oh, "Idol." Never change.

Then instead of a Ford Music Video, it looks like the Idols are being sent to sing with some kids. Well, that's cool. It's totally cheesy and stuff, but these kids are adorable and we bet that was a lot of fun.

Aretha Franklin has a message for Kree -- "You put that one away and you're not going anywhere." Aww, that's nice.

Colton Dixon's here.

American Idol 2013 Eliminated Devin Velez tonight in March 28th show. Tonight's elimination show ,kicked off with another one of those awful group songs from the final contestants. I swear, I wanted to press mute. Next, they showed the usual recap footage segment of last night's performances with some great critiques from the brutally honest Jimmy Iovine. Next, they revealed that Kree got a special audio message from the Queen Of Soul ,Aretha Franklin, for doing such a great job with her song "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)." Then former Idol contestant ,Colton Dixon, hit the stage to sing one of his new songs called ,"Love Has Come For Me”. Next, One Republic and another former Idol contestant ,Katharine McPhee, hit the stage to sing "If I Lose Myself." After a break, current Idol judge Keith Urban, hit the stage to sing his song, "Long Hot Summer." Then finally, host Ryan Seacrest,...

Practically every second of American Idol provides juicy fodder for conspiracy theorists, paranoid superfans and hardcore cynics on their second glasses of sauvignon blanc.

Take, for example, the Season 12 Top 8 results telecast: As the five remaining ladies and three surviving guys teamed up for a performance of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll,” I wondered to myself, who’s going to be stuck with the line, “say I’m old-fashioned, say I’m over the hill”? And will that be the tipoff as to who’s walking the plank and joining the “Eighth-Place Club” alongside Jon Peter Lewis,...

This week's "Idol" results are in and Devin Velez is going home.

He sang Perry Como's "It's Impossible" in both English and Spanish, bringing Mariah Carey to tears. Carey, Randy Jackson and Keith Urban were on their feet. However, the judges decided not to keep Devin around, despite the audience chanting, "Save! Save! Save!"

Unsurprisingly, the three remaining men -- Velez, Lazaro Arbos and Burnell Taylor -- wound up in the Bottom 3. After Wednesday night's Detroit-themed performances, many believed the trio of guys would wind up in the bottom. The judges, Nicki Minaj in particular, annihilated their take on The Four Tops "Can't Help Myself." Angie Miller also fell slightly out of the judges' favor with her solo performance of guest mentor Smokey Robinson's "Shop Around."

Kree Harrison was the first contestant to be safe, followed by Candice Glover, Janelle Arthur and Angie Miller.

Judge Keith Urban stepped...

Or could we be in for an Angie Miller shocker? (No.) The elimination carousel continues on American Idol Thursday, and it's difficult to know what to expect on a number of fronts. The first week of results shows featured Bon Jovi and Phillip Phillips, and we got tons of filler, a top 3, rankings from 4-10 and rapid-fire results. Then last week, featuring Michelle Kwan mini-J-Lo Jessica Sanchez and Casey Abrams, we got a ton of filler, a Bottom three and no rankings at all. Who knows what's on tap tonight?

Actually, there are a couple of things that are certain: Lots of filler, performances by American Idol alum (present company included) and a guy going home.
