When American Idol host Ryan Seacrest was on Oprah this past week, she asked him about judge Simon Cowell. Seacrest said that Cowell is one of the sweetest guys in the business. He also said that the judge is very generous. I’ve heard this before about Simon from a few different people. So, I would accept this to be true.

Do you think Simon Cowell is nicer than he seems?

Recently, India Arie criticized Lady Gaga and Beyonce’s video, Telephone. She called the 11 minute mini-movie “socially irresponsible.” While I haven’t had the chance to take a look at the video, I’m sure it’s typical Lady Gaga. The really surprising part is that a lot of people responded to India on Twitter, giving her a hard time.

Everyone has a right to their opinion. Entertainers are no different. If it’s not India’s cup of tea, it’s just not her cup of tea.

Do you think India Arie was wrong to speak out about her opinion on Lady Gaga’s Telephone video?
