Peter Kowalczyk (29), who is 6 feet 5 inches tall, punched sweetheart, and ex Pizza Hut waitress, Leona Lewis in the side of the head when she bowed her head to sign a copy of her book at a book signing on October 14 in London.

Last night Peter was sectioned under the Mental Health Act after punching Leona. Peter’s father said Peter wants to be a singer, and envied Leona for winning the ITV1 talent show, after he was turned rejected from it. Peter also tried out for X Factor, but was rejected there as well.

Peter has been taken to a psychiatric hospital. Peter’s parents admit their son is mentally ill, and has been getting weekly music therapy by NHS for his psychological problems. Peter’s father said he has also mentioned Alesha Dixon, so watch out Alesha.

Leona’s boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa, and her father, are comforting her during this difficult time. Simon Cowell also called Leona to offer his support.

The Sun has all the details on what happened the night Leona got punched.

David Hasselhoff was in London to attend a birthday party for Simon Cowell over the weekend. The Hoff was staying at the five-star St Martins Lane Hotel where he partied night and day for days. Finally a doctor was called, who The Hoff allegedly hit, so they locked him in the basement before calling an ambulance. The Sun reports:

A source close to the star said: "David is very hard to handle when he drinks, often very emotional and aggressive."

"On this occasion he became so drunk he wet his hotel bed – ruining two mattresses – and was becoming a real pain for staff.

"His assistant Joe Townley was so concerned he called out a doctor.

"David was furious and lashed out at him – but mistakenly hit the doctor.

"They decided they had no option but to lock him in the basement until an ambulance arrived."

Hotel guest Maria Weston, 44, told how she saw Hasselhoff swearing in the bar.

She said: "He was abusing all the staff, shouting at everyone. We were shocked – you’d think he was just some drunk, not a big star."

Looks like the Dave stopped taking the anti-drinking pills. What do you do when a grown man wants to drink himself to death? Dave needs help, but he is the only one that can help him.

Danyl Johnson, who is a 27 year-old teacher, wowed the panel of four judges on Monday, and prompted them all, even Simon Cowell to give him a standing ovation. The audience was really into his performance.

Upon deciding if Danyl would stay or go Simon said this:

"Okay Danyl. [turning to the panel of judges] I’ve been doing this for what, how many years, 8, 9 years? [turning back to Dany] Okay Danyl. [making an okay sign with his right hand is significant body language] That was, single handedly, [pointing with authority] the best first audition I have ever heard."

After Susan Boyles repeated trips to a mental hospital, Britain’s Got Talent is now offering mental screen, and mental health counseling for contestants.

If the LA Times are to be believed, then Paula Abdul may not agree to a new American Idol contract, thus ending her appearance as a judge who always "acts" like she is under the influence of drugs or alcohol *no one knows for sure because Paula is a mystery*. The LA Times says:

"Very sadly, it does not appear that she’s going to be back on ’Idol,’ " David Sonenberg, Abdul’s manager, told The Times when contacted about the judge’s contract negotiations.

With auditions for the ninth season due to start Aug. 6, Sonenberg says he doesn’t even have a proposal for a new contract from FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment, the production companies behind the show. The new season is scheduled to premiere in January.

"I find it under these circumstances particularly unusual; I think unnecessarily hurtful," he said of the contract holdup. "I find it kind of unconscionable and certainly rude and disrespectful that they haven’t stepped up and said what they want to do."

[Updated at 11:59 p.m.: Sonenberg began managing Abdul at the end of June, he said. According to him, he has "reached out to the head of business affairs at 19" and told Fox that "Paula would love to be on the show." He said Fox told him he would hear from them, but "I have not received any proposal whatsoever."]

Sonenberg has said his client has not been well-compensated in the past.

She’s already looking toward an "Idol"-less future, he says, though Abdul’s foray into non-"Idol" programming, the 2007 Bravo show "Hey Paula," was not a success.

"She’s not a happy camper as a result of what’s going on. She’s hurt. She’s angry," Sonenberg said. "I think at this point we’re going to be considering everything, including some kind of a competition show. She has tremendous ideas for a whole variety of shows."

Simon Cowell has said he wants Paula to stay on the show, but we would rather see a new judge. Simon is the real star, and it’s rumored he is negotiating a contract worth $144 million, whereas Paula’s contract was worth around $3 million. We think Paula should pursue a non-idol project where she can be paid what she thinks she is really worth.

Simon Cowell gave some advice to Susan Boyle through The Telegraph on Friday:

“She has got four weeks to prepare for the biggest night of her life, and she has got to sing better than she sang before with all those expectations on her.”

“But it could all go horribly wrong for her because there are so many other distractions. Get yourself together sweetheart for the big one, the semi-final. Shut the door, choose the right song and come back as who you are, not who you want to be.”

Be yourself Susan, be yourself.
