Kara DioGuardi

See, this is why we love Megan. Even her brother is working to piss off the judges. She must have a pretty cool family! Do you remember someone shouting out "broken record" to Kara last night? Turns out it was Megan's brother CJ. Whitney Pastorek from EW details the hilarious events at the live show last night where Kara was pissed:

"And just as I'd finished hooting with laughter at the brilliant cruelty of Kara opening with "I really like you, but" -- you know it's bad when they skip the outfit and go straight for the heart -- a voice interrupted the DioGuarbot with "Broken record!" The voice seemed to come from Megan's family, and sure enough, her brother CJ was more than happy to raise his hand and take responsibility. Kara ran off the rails and handed her flaming caboose to Paula... Once the cameras were pointed elsewhere, Kara made mocking faces to Paula and Simon, presumably in reference to CJ talking back while she was trying to be authoritative. Paula and Simon ignored her... On her way out for break, Kara and her burly bodyguards stomped over to Megan's family to have a little chat. Kara did not look happy...


On our way to the Grove parking structure, two of my journalist buddies and I ran into Megan's brother CJ... we asked him what Kara wanted when she came stomping over to them. CJ said she seemed mad, and wanted to know what he meant by "broken record." He responded with "'Package artist' is your package phrase," which made her stomp away. When she came back, she tried to make light of it, but I get the sense that for the Familia de Alegria, Kara is now pretty much on notice for good."

You tell her, CJ. Kara is useless on this show and it's about time someone mocked her to her face. Awesome family! Though this probably means the producers will probably send Megan packing this week since they hate when people challenge the show.

Kara looks like a cradle robber in the video. Also, the song sucks, probably because it was written by Kara. And the band sucks, probably because it's another Daughtryback clone. Don't enjoy!

So remember that Kelly Clarkson/Chris Daughtry duet we were hoping would never surface? Well, we're only half lucky. Kelly and Chris's version will never see the light of day, but the song will appear on Nick Lachey's upcoming album. Nick wrote the song with Idol horndog Kara DioGuardi, so they decided to do the duet together so it wouldn't go to waste. The song is called "Temporary" and we're not looking forward to it. Come on, it's Nick Lachey and Kara DioGuardi. What is there to possibly even look forward to? It's just nice that we don't have to hear Daughtry's goat vibrato until his second CD of Nickelback hand-me-downs comes out.

In this interview, Joanna Pacitti's boyfriend, Mark Ballas, talks about his band, Ballas Hough Band. He also says that a song called "Do It For You" on their new album was written by none other than Kara DioGuardi. Seriously, that means Joanna has even more recent ties with Kara. Just disqualify her already.

Why is Kara always so horny?

Created by the braintrust of writer Katy Perry and producer Kara DioGuardi, Oh No They Didn't has a demo of Katy's version of the rumored single single from Kelly Clarkson's new album. The track is called (I Do Not) Hook Up. Is it just us, or is Kelly going for completely vapid throwaway pop now? Way to completely do a 180 from the last album but go too far. Where's the good stuff like Breakaway had?

Just joining us for American Idol season 8? Just hearing about new judge Kara DioGuardi? Well, don't hold your breath hoping for an amazing songwriter to give opinions. While we're excited that we'll now have another judge with a coherent opinion (Paula and Randy clearly do not), Kara will be judging the Idol singers after having written songs such as:

Katharine McPhee - "Open Toes"
Almost every awful Ashlee Simpson song
Most of Kelly Osbourne's album
Lindsay Lohan - "Confessions of a Broken Heart" (and 15 other songs by her)
Paris Hilton - "I Want You", "Jealousy", "Screwed"
Pussycat Dolls - "Beep", "I Don't Need a Man"
Hilary Duff - "With Love", "Come Clean"
Gwen Stefani - "Rich Girl"
Britney Spears - "Ooh Ooh Baby", "Heaven on Earth"
Bo Bice - "The Real Thing"
Clay Aiken - "The Way"
David Archuleta - "To Be With You"
Ali Lohan's upcoming album

Simply terrible! So this woman is one of the reasons pop radio is unlistenable. Blame accordingly. She is also the co-owner of Arthouse Entertainment, which was produced crap like Jim Jones's "We Fly High", Nick Lachey's "What's Left of Me", and David Archuleta's "Crush". Why in the world would you pay her, knowing that she's been involved with so much awfulness?

Jackie Mendez is another failed contestant from that failed Idol clone show The One, just like Syesha Mercado last season. And yes, The One was the show where Kara DioGuardi was a judge. Wonder if Kara will pretend not to know Jackie when she makes it to Hollywood this year? Jackie even performed with Ricky Martin in the past and had a 5 year recoding contract with Elektra Records. Another day, another plant.
