DIANE'S CELEBRITY DIRT - WED., MAY 23


*Who will win American Idol? The final two performed last night and the 2-hour season finale starts at 8:00 tonight on Fox. The judges agreed that Jordin is the better singer and Blake is the better entertainer. They both performed the original song "This Is My Now" and Simon told Jordin "You just wiped the floor with Blake with that song." Does it really matter who wins? They'll both do just fine! It is interesting how much American Idol has grown since the first season. Here are some fun facts about the show:

Number of people who auditioned for Idol:
Season one - 10,000
This season - over 100,000

Number of votes received:
Season one - 110 million calls
Season five (last season) - over 580 million votes (total votes for this season are not available
yet)

Guest artists:
Season one - Nobody
This season - Jennifer Lopez, Diana Ross, Gwen Stefani, Tony Bennett, Martina McBride,
Barry Gibb and Bon Jovi

*Imagine this--your Dad writes a tell-all book about you and you find out from a tabloid. That's what happened to Oprah. Her dad, Vernon is writing a book about Oprah and she said she's shocked!

*Apolo Anton Ohno is the new Dancing With the Stars champion. He's the proud owner of the disco ball trophy and he won on his 25th birthday. Joey Fatone came in second place. So who will be dancing next season? Tori Spelling said she would like to dance so she can lose her baby weight

*Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly are expecting twins through a surrogate
