As Fox previously announced, T-Pain — who competed as The Monster on “The Masked Singer’s” first season and won — will also act as a guest judge for Season 2. – Read more at The Wrap
‘American Idol’ tryouts test patience of DC federal workers – If you enjoy hearing people randomly shout-sing ballads and practice Mariah Carey-like vocal runs, then Wednesday morning at the Ronald Reagan Building in Washington was your own personal heaven. “American Idol,” now in its 18th (!) season, held open auditions at the federal building named after a president who knew a thing or two about performance. “You need to go over and tell them to stop,” one security guard said to another. “They’re not supposed to be doing this.” Surely, the workers here hadn’t been putting up with this all morning? “They’ve been at this bul***** all day,” a visibly exasperated security guard told me.

Harry Styles: the boy is back – Following the news that he missed out on Presley, his name was floated for the role of Prince Eric in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. However, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see Styles on the big screen as that idea, too, has sunk. He won’t be The King or the Prince. ?“It was discussed,” he acknowledges before swiftly changing the subject. ?“I want to put music out and focus on that for a while. But everyone involved in it was amazing, so I think it’s going to be great. I’ll enjoy watching it, I’m sure.” The new album is wrapped and the single is decided upon. ?“It’s not like his last album,” his friend, rock ?‘n’ roll legend Stevie Nicks, told me recently over the phone. ?“It’s not like anything One Direction ever did. It’s pure Harry, as Harry would say. He’s made a very different record and it’s spectacular.” – Read more at The Face
