Katy Perry wants Morrissey sing at my wedding


Pop star Katy Perry and her husband Russell Brand want British singer Morrissey to sing at their wedding.
The couple want the former Smiths frontman on their big day to perform, even though the Girlfriend In A Coma singer has warned them off marriage.
The Californian Gurls singer told Q magazine: 'It's going to be a small ceremony, so I don't think we'll have a proper band I'd love to have Morrissey.
'I met him for the first time the other day and we had tea together.'
She added: 'He's Russell's mate and he is fascinating, but he was giving us a hard time over getting married.
'He swooned and sighed 'Oh left hand, third finger, don't do it'. It was just so eloquent and poetic and like one of his songs.'
But the 25 year old also admitted that she worries the famous singer might ruin their big day if he does perform.
She said: 'It would be great to have him at the ceremony, but he's not exactly entering into the spirit.

Elton John and Justin Timberlake "American Idol" targets




"American Idol" will have to make a huge splash with his replacement a widely known commodity in the music industry. Enter: Elton John and Justin Timberlake. The two pop stars top "Idol" producer Simon Fuller's list of desired candidates, along with Harry Connick Jr., Chris Isaak and Donald Trump.
But, hell, why not have all of them? That's what would happen if it were up to Nigel Lythgoe, former producer of the U.K. version of "Idol" and recent producer of "So You Think You Can Dance?". And he might soon have the power to do so. It's being reported that Lythgoe is close to taking the reins at the U.S. "Idol," and he has stated that, if things went his way, he'd ax the entire panel for fresh blood.
Such a drastic course of action, however, may prove to be difficult. Randy Jackon will probably stay onboard with only one year left on his contract. Ellen DeGeneres, who underwhelmed critics last season, will be hard to boot with her multi year deal, which she says she will fulfill. So that leaves Paula Abdul's replacement, Kara DioGuardi, on the outside looking in. Her contract is only year-to-year, which means she's probably a goner if Lythgoe takes the "Idol" reigns.
Either way, without Cowell there to make contestants cry, "American Idol" will be much different in its 10th season.
