Deep Thoughts with Diva Natalie

About 50 former American Idol winners and contestants paid tribute to Simon Cowell on Wednesday night's finale.

But two former stand-outs were missing: season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert and season 7's David Cook, the only winner who wasn't there.

Lambert announced on Twitter that he wasn't invited after blogs incorrectly reported he blew off rehearsals.

"HAHA. I have now just been made aware of more gossip and rumor mill: First of all, i was never asked to appear on the finale in any capacity. All i ever heard was:"you've not been asked to perform on finale.Would you like to sit in the audience?" Me:sorry-Too much work to do today."

He's busy preparing for his first tour.

"Would have loved 2 have been at the Idol Finale to wish Simon farewell and support the finalists, but this tour for my fans is my priority," Lambert added. "was put on vocal rest yesterday from MY show's rehearsals which doubled the work 2 do 2day since all equip. had 2 be sent back east tonight."

Cook was at a charity event in his hometown of Kansas City. (He has been active in raising funds for cancer research after his brother Adam, who lived in Terre Haute, died of brain cancer in May 2009.)

"Congrats to Lee DeWyze! So sorry I could be there to see all my fellow idols. I'm there in spirit!" he wrote on Twitter.

Season 5's Chris Daughtry was also absent, but Twittered that he ironically also in Kansas City performing.

Last night's Dancing With the Stars finale was just like old times for the crew. Kate ran around annoying the sequins off everyone, making outlandish demands.

Sources suggest that before Kate hit the dance floor, she insisted that the temperature be changed so she wouldn't sweat! We're guessing she has some kind of glandular problem, since that shuffling she does could hardly be called dancing and wouldn't make anyone perspire.

Then, of course, there was her rein of terror over the hair and makeup team. We hear they all flipped a coin to see who was going to have to deal with her crazy! Pity the loser on that one!

But the real hero of the night was her partner, Tony Dovolani, who once again threw himself into the lion's den in order to make a living. Spies at the show claim that he was telling other people that the "notoriously difficult Barbra Streisand" would be easier to work with than Kate.

It's just never-ending!!!

There's Lindsay's side... but just this morning the Judge has given her input...

For now, Linds won't have to go to jail... if she follows the conditions of her bail! Judge Marsha Revel ruled Lohan must put a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet on within 24 hours, avoid drinking alcohol, submit to random drug testing once a week and attend the remainder of her alcohol education classes at a rate of one per week.

Her lawyer argued that it will be difficult for Lohan to wear the bracelet... stating  "I'd like to make the court aware of a couple of things and an alternate suggestion. Miss Lohan has a number of upcoming photo shoots as well as [she'll be] continuing to film a movie in Texas. The SCRAM device would interfere with all of that. Miss Lohan is not, however, getting out of being monitored. For that reason, our alternative suggestion is that she be randomly tested for drugs and alcohol."

Replied Judge Revel, "She needs to submit to random drug testing here, not in Texas. [I want] no excuse for her to say it's random [when it's not]... I'm afraid she's going to have to delay [filming] for now."

Judge Revel then set a formal hearing for July 6 at 8:30 a.m. to determine if Lohan had violated her probation.

The prosecutor also requested proof that Lohan had booked a ticket to return from Cannes in time for her May 20 hearing and that she'd set up an appointment with the embassy to get a duplicate passport since she missed the hearing by claiming her passport had been stolen!

NEW "Eclipse" scene!!!! 

Lindsay Lohan was supposed to be in court yesterday, but instead she stayed at the Cannes Film Festival (claiming she couldn't leave France because her passport was stolen!)

But, from the looks of it, the ONLY thing Lindsay is worried about right now is keeping the party going. A new pic has surfaced of Linds in Cannes with what looks like hard core drugs sitting on the table next to her... See the picture here...  http://yfrog.com/7b3ecxj

She NEEDS to get a grip... but sadly I don't think it will happen. Lindsay's rock bottom may be 6 feet under!

A Los Angeles judge has lost her patience with Lindsay Lohan's excuses.

Lohan pulled a no-show at her progress review hearing today because her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley told the judge the actress's passport was stolen at the Cannes Film Festival this week. "She filed a police report. She intended to fly back at the earliest possible time. I don't know what else to tell you. She had reservations for a flight," she added.

Well... no police report has ever been filed regarding that missing passport. Plus, she doesn't look like she's in any kind of hurry to leave Cannes. Check out the picture of her still carefree and partying just last night...

Thankfully the judge wasn't having it!!! She said... "There is no valid excuse [for Lohan not being here]. If she wanted to be here, she could've been here. She could've come two days early from Cannes. She has a history of not keeping scheduled appointments. She has to take this seriously. I've warned her before."


The judge ordered an arrest warrant for Lohan and set bail at $100,000...

If or when Lohan is apprehended and posts bail, the judge ordered Lohan to abstain from alcohol, be fitted with an alcohol-monitoring bracelet, and be subject to random drug testing once a week. (ALL of that should have been started about two years ago)

A probation violation hearing date is pending Lohan's return to court. If found in violation, the prosecutor overseeing the case, Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers, stated she would seek up to six months in jail for the starlet. Meyers also stated that she wants proof that Lohan had indeed purchased flight tickets to make Thursday's hearing, otherwise that would show Lohan was "snubbing the court."

The actress's father, Michael Lohan, made an appearance in the courtroom, and nodded his head in agreement with the judge's orders. "Michael's concerned about his daughter's well-being," his attorney said after the hearing. "We're pleased that the judge placed stricter orders on her."

As of now, Lohan will remain on probation until August next year.

The couple from "The Hills" that should be breaking up is Speidi... escpecially after what we've seen the last few weeks on the show. BUT they aren't the twosome that "People Magazine" claims have called it quits!

Dating since January, Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera broken up

"She ended things about a week ago," says a source. "There were issues in their relationship. But a lot comes from his partying ways."

Tuesday night Cabrera hit Trousdale lounge in L.A. with some pals and was seen with an Audrina lookalike brunette. "He was grabbing her hands, whispering to her, smiling and they were laughing together," says an onlooker.

So it this really the end or could this reality romance resurrect someday? Says another source: "He still wants to work things out."

The top three are singing two songs each tonight... one picked by the judges and one picked by them!

Ellen Degeneres chose “Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul MCCartney for Crystal Bowersox

Simon Cowell chose “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen for Lee DeWyze

Kara Dioguardi and Randy Jackson chose “Daughters” by John Mayer for Casey James

As for what song each contestant picked for themselves, that being kept under wraps... but People Magazine has a rundown of how rehearsels went. Check it out...

LEE DEWYZE: Singing a soft, harmonic staple chosen by Simon Cowell, Lee strummed his guitar while standing behind the mic stand in sneakers, a blue sweatshirt and red baseball cap. A chorus line of background singers surrounded the rocker on each side. DeWyze joked that he should be lifted by a harness to look like he’s flying. For his second song, he performed a sentimental rock classic that he sped up a bit. Changing the vocal arrangement slightly, DeWyze raised the bar by picking the perfect tune for his voice.

CRYSTAL BOWERSOX: Holding a guitar, and with a harmonica strapped to her neck, Crystal practiced with her signature mic stand, warming up a tune by a female artist she admires. She started the song with a few seconds of solo harmonica, then the band and backup singers came in strong. But Crystal delivered her second tune without her guitar or mic stand. Standing middle stage she successfully reached Janis Joplin-like territory with her strong, high, whiskey-soaked wail. She quickly shifted effortlessly into a smooth note that she held and held.

CASEY JAMES: In a bright blue shirt and holding his guitar, Casey was accompanied on stage by his amp. His upbeat tune started with vigor, kicking into a solid groove that will have people on their feet and dancing. On his second song, a piano is wheeled on stage and placed on the left, while an additional guitar player sat on the right. James doesn’t change the arrangement of the song much, though it is paced slower than the original. After only two takes and a quick check to make sure he had the bridge correct, Casey looked like he was feeling confident.

Remember when Meg Ryan was cute as a button... Well she's not anymore!! Check out a recent shot of her at the Cannes Film Festival!!

SHE HAS TURNED INTO A FEMALE VERSION OF THE JOKER!!!!! So sad...
