Casey Carlson is the latest hot girl to take American Idol by storm because of her beauty, voice, and her hot body in a bikini. All the judges liked her when she auditioned in the video above.

We think Casey would be a great contestant for the show. The more beauty, combined with talent, the better.

Below are some pictures of Casey from the Campus Girls USA web site, that also donates money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Although Casey doesn’t seem like the kind of girl that would have pictures of her floating around without clothes on, we will be hoping those pictures do surface. If the singing thing doesn’t work out, Casey already has plans to do more modeling. We want to see more of Casey in a bikini.

Katrina Darrell shocked the judges of American Idol when she walked in wearing a skimpy bikini. The newest judge Kara DioGuardi immediately disliked Katrina, and let her know it. Fortunately, Simon Cowell, and Randy Jackson voted to send Katrina to Hollywood, which caused Paula Abdul to vote with the guys. Kara was so mad she even tried to do a sing off with Katrina, but Katrina responded coldly that Kara’s demonstration wasn’t any better. BURN! There is will be an ongoing cat fight between a judge and a contestant, especially if Katrina were to perform every song in the same bikini. HA!

Ryan Seacrest was also a bit tongue tied, especially when slutty Katrina kissed and tried to make out with him by the pool.

Later DioGuardi talked to Ryan about Darrell further saying:

"To her credit, she’s gotten so much attention. It was probably a good call to wear the bikini at the end of the day, but we wouldn’t be talking about the bikini if she killed the song."

Asked by Seacrest if she’d send through a "pretty" girl before a "cute" girl, DioGuardi said, "It’s hard to say. But pretty and cute … they’re important. It’s a visual medium. You’re going to see people on the covers and in the press."

"Of course, I want a pretty girl," she said, "but I’m not just looking for a pretty girl; I’m looking for an incredible voice, great stage presence. I’m a big champion of women. I’m not the kind of woman who’s going to drag a woman down."

"I vote for women," DioGuardi said. "I love women and want them to succeed."

Kara DioGuardi should know, she’s beautiful herself, and she can’t say that didn’t help her career. However, that doesn’t mean she won’t try to derail Darrell’s chances of winning the competition.

Darrell will add an Antonella Barba spark to the show however. So far we’ve found some modeling work by Darrell on lovinlife.ca, but we’re hoping to find pics with far less clothes to share with you.

With the ratings 10 percent lower for this season premiere compared to last season, the show needs a little controversy and spark to get people watching.

Paula Abdul had a long talk with Barbara Walters about her 17 year stalker who ended up killing herself in front of Paula’s home. Paula claims Simon Cowell and American Idol have been trying to destroy her career, and make her look bad, even going so far as to blame her appearance of being on drugs or alcohol on both Simon and American Idol.

Paula can’t blame others for her own behavior. Now that Paula is lashing out at American Idol the way Rosie lashed out at Barbara Walters, we can begin some serious discussion about Paula leaving American Idol.

Kara DioGuardi will join Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul, and Randy Jackson, as a judge when the eighth season of American Idol premieres in January. Mike Darnell, president, alternative programming of Fox, said:

"For the past seven seasons, Paula has had to endure the experience of being the only woman at the judges’ table."

Paula just had surgery on her neck to try to get rid of the pain. Looks like she might need more pain killers, which means her loopy behavior on Idol might require some time off from Idol this coming season. Kara will make a good replacement for Paula if she is unable to fulfill her contractual requirements.

Not only did David Cook win American Idol, but Simon Cowell actually APOLOGIZED to Cook for his comments he described as verging on disrespectful.

I had picked David Archuleta to win American Idol, and I was wrong. Archuleta is going home.

Cook won by 12 million votes! A crushing victory.

Congratulations to DAVID COOK! Your Idol.
