It has been reported that the former drummer for Guns N Roses, Steven Adler, was arrested early Friday morning in Hollywood for possession of narcotics, being under the influence and for an outstanding warrant. Earlier this month, the 43-year old rocker actually told a radio station that he was planning on being part of the cast of ‘Sober Living’, a spin-off of VH1’s ‘Celebrity Rehab’. I guess his timing couldn’t be any better. Casting directors should see him as a perfect candidate for their reality show with this recent arrest. What is with the endless list of reality TV shows hiring has-beens lately?

Howard Stern and his crew manipulated some Dolly Parton audio books into stuff that was seemingly racist and sexually graphic last week. Dolly was pissed about it and has recently released a statement through her reps saying “I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it’s going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.”

The curvaceous diva that is Mariah Carey is this week’s music mentor to the final seven contestant on American Idol. I wonder if they will be singing Mariah’s songs. And I wonder what the heck David Cook will do. I’m also thinking about whether Mariah will lip synch through her performance on the elimination show like she did on German Idol. If she does, I’m sure she’ll get a very ugly criticism from Simon. In other Idol news, you can now vote for the winner’s single on AmericanIdol.com. There are some pretty great songs there so think about what you want to hear and who you want to hear sing it.

New Kids on the Block made their first TV appearance as a reunited group on NBC’s The Today Show last Friday to announce plans for their new album and upcoming worldwide tour. The 90s boy band didn’t perform on the show but they did debut a clip from ‘Summertime’, a song off their upcoming album. The group will be back on the show on April 16 to perform live. Donnie also said that “We’re going to dance, we’re going to sing, we’re going to do it all.” Here’s to hoping that no one would need hip replacement surgery after that performance.

Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia have gone on a girls-only luxury holiday.

The pop pair – who both starred in Australian TV show ‘Neighbours’ together – have flown to Mauritius for a relaxing five-night break at the five-star Shanti Ananda resort to escape their troubled love lives.

A source said: “Natalie is heartbroken after splitting from husband Daniel Johns and Kylie thought a sunshine break would cheer her up. They are both trying to put their relationship troubles behind them and think this holiday will do the job.”

The exclusive Shanti Ananda resort in the Indian Ocean offers yoga lessons, meditation and a four-handed massage from two therapists. Guests splash out $5,000-a-night to stay at a villa that boasts its own private butler, landscaped garden and swimming pool.

Kylie, 39, has been single since parting ways with actor Olivier Martinez last year following a four-year relationship. It was reported they had reunited last month after enjoying a two-day break in Paris together.

Natalie, 33, ended her marriage with Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns in January. The ‘Torn’ singer revealed the pair decided to walk away from their four-year union after “growing apart” due to work pressures. It was recently reported Razorlight frontman Johnny Borrell is trying to woo Natalie after meeting her at a party last month.

Mischa Barton was spotted walking around the Beverly Hills set of her latest film ‘The Homecoming’ on Friday. Someone actually hired her?! The 22-year old former ‘OC’ actress was seen carrying around a Starbucks coffee cup and a book by Sid Griffin called ‘Million Dollar Bash’. The book documents music legend Bob Dylan’s career and his association with famous musical friends ‘The Band’. I never knew that Mischa was a fan of Bob Dylan. Maybe she’s trying to pick up on a few things from the book. Then again, I didn’t even know that Mischa new how to read.

Here is the List:

Album of the Year: “River: The Joni Letters,” Herbie Hancock.
Record of the Year: “Rehab,” Amy Winehouse.
Song of the Year: “Rehab,” Amy Winehouse
New Artist: Amy Winehouse.
Producer of the Year, Non-Classical: Mark Ronson.

Rap Album: “Graduation,” Kanye West.
Rap Solo Performance: “Stronger,” Kanye West.

Here are The Top 24 contestants for the seventh season of American Idol:
