He tells Spin magazine, "He has to wait in line if he wants to stab me. (Tyler's) definitely not the first guy that's said something like that to me and he's not going to be the last.

"That's what comin' up is. You pick up some fans and a handful of haters along the way."

'American Idol' Recap: Casey Abrams Goes Home + Power Rankings

April 29th, 2011 9:21am EDT
Casey Abrams Goes Home
At long last, my personal ‘Idol’ nightmare is over.

I feel a bit bad reveling in the fact that Casey’s dream died last evening. At least I would if I actually thought it was his dream. Casey’s definitely a guy more comfortable dodging smoke rings in a leatherette-festooned lounge than he is on the ‘Idol’ stage. But why wouldn’t he be on the show? No matter what your taste or style, it’s hard to deny the stage. And even if it’s not an opportunity Casey would necessarily want, I’m sure he’s disappointed.

So should I gloat? Should I pile on Casey in the wake of his being ousted from the bigg...

Rihanna Takes Pictures With Kids While Wearing Obscene Necklace

Rihanna
Rihanna stopped outside her hotel in New York City Saturday night to snap a few pictures with some kids on her way to dinner a Da Silvano's restaurant. The "What's My Name?" singer wore a sexy semi-see-through black & blue skirt with blue suede shoes and a black top.

Unfortunately, Rihanna's choice of jewelry wasn't very role model-like, as her gold necklace was adorned with the 'f' word on it (you can see it in the pictures below if you look close enough). It was kind of a tasteless move for such a classy gal if you ask us.

Speaking of "What's My Name?" - Rihanna has toppled Ke$ha from t...
