American Idol's "Bikini Girl" Has Sexy Photos From The Past Revealed

American Idol's infamous bikini girl Katrina Darrell shows off her body even more in a new set of photos.

The reality show-hopeful -- who made it through another round on Hollywood week Tuesday night -- vamps it up in several different skimpy suits for a modeling shoot.

Darrell has been a controversial contestant. So far, she's gotten in two fights with judge Kara DioGuardi -- but Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson have been fans.

So will these racy photos affect her run on Idol? Seems unlikely.

"We've had strippers on the show before," Idol executive producer Ken Warwick has said. "We're never judgmental about people who do things like that."

Britney Spears' Sons Will Go On Tour With Her

Despite reports that her upcoming Circus tour was in jeopardy because she wouldn't be allowed to travel with her boys, a post on her official blog says they'll be with her.

"Both Sean Preston and Jayden James will, in fact, be joining Britney throughout the duration of her tour," says Brit's blog.

The complication came up because her ex, Kevin Federline has primary custody of the boys with Britney having visitation.

But Brit's dad, Jamie Spears, made a private arrangement with Kevin to ensure that the kids can be near their working mom.

Brit's tour kicks off on March 3.

Kelly Clarkson Makes It Clear That She's Not Gay

Kelly Clarkson wants to put a rumor to rest. She does not date girls!

"Lesbians tell it to me all the time," the American Idol winner says of gay rumors. "I'm like, 'I'm glad it works for you and I wish I liked women like that because often times men are very hard for me, but I happen to like boys."

Kelly also said "I could never be a lesbian. I would never want to date (someone like) myself, ever. I'm a crazy person. I need some kind of stable, quiet man."

But with the release of her fourth album and the success of her new single"My Life Would Suck Without You," Kelly says her career takes priority over dating anyone right now.

Stephen King Slams "Twilight" Author Stephanie Meyer's Writing

In what should have been a controversy-free interview with USA Weekend to promote his latest book, the horror master has slammed Twilight creator Stephenie Meyer's writing prowess...by flat-out saying she has none.

What started with an innocent question on the recent juggernaut success of fellow mainstream writers Meyer and J.K. Rowling quickly devolved into a full-scale denouncement of the former's skills.

"The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can't write worth a darn," he said. "She's not very good."

Possibly sensing the worldwide fallout from inflaming millions of Twilight loyalists, King went on to say that while Meyer's writing may bite the big one, her storytelling is compelling...at least to a certain, less experienced, segment of the population.

"People are attracted by the stories, by the pace and in the case of Stephenie Meyer, it's very clear that she's writing to a whole generation of girls and opening up kind of a safe joining of love and sex in those books. It's very exciting and it's thrilling and it's not particularly threatening because they're not overtly sexual. A lot of the physical side of it is conveyed in things like the vampire will touch her forearm or run a hand over skin, and she just flushes all hot and cold. And for girls, that's a shorthand for all the feelings that they're not ready to deal with yet."

90210's AnnaLynne McCord May Be Cast in "New Moon"

Filmmakers have been considering the idea of casting 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming New Moon, the much-anticipated sequel to Twilight.

Heidi isn't a major character in the book, but McCord definitely has the gorgeous looks to pull it off.

The character is a "fisher" who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She's also known as "bait" because of the way she uses her stunning looks to attract humans.

In her brief appearance in the book, Bella describes Heidi as having "exceptional, unforgettable" beauty. She has stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes.

Sources say McCord has auditioned for the role. "It's not a big part," one of the sources said. "Heidi would be more like a cameo."

McCord should feel pretty comfortable on the set. Her 90210 costar Kellan Lutz—and rumored real-life boyfriend—played Emmett in Twilight and will return for the sequel.

McCord's rep did not immediately comment nor did a rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment.

Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting the flick with Robert Pattinson & Co. next month in Washington state and Italy with a Nov. 20 release date. Summit has yet to make any major new casting announcements for New Moon.

The He's Just Not That Into You actress revealed her ideal romantic outing in a Wednesday interview on The Early Show.



"Well-thought out, simple...just being able to go to a great restaurant, great conversation and a walk on a beach if there is one to be walked on!" said Aniston -- who turns 40 next week.

So has Aniston ever had to tell a friend that a guy is just not that into her?

"No, I don't think I have, honestly," she says. "It's been pretty clear. You can feel if somebody is or isn't."

As for herself, "I've had people say, 'Honey, I think he's gay.' [My reaction is], 'What! But we get along so well,'" she joked.

The actress also revealed that she may be stepping behind the camera in the future.

"I am interested in directing. I directed a short feature a couple of years ago with Glamour. I just really enjoyed the process," she said. "The editing was one of my favorite parts of it."

What makes her a good director?"I'm always a little bossy," she said.

Tiger Woods Preps for Baby No. 2

Tiger Woods says the birth of his second child "takes precedent" over anything he does golf-wise -- but he still plans to play a round with a certain government official.

"[My wife Elin Nordegren], [my son] Sam and I are very excited for the new baby to arrive, although that's when the real lack of sleep begins," Woods writes on his website.

Woods has yet to return to competitive golf since his knee surgery in June of last year and may have a slow return to pro golf with the new baby. "I'm taking it tournament to tournament. With our new addition, it's going to be a hectic spring."

Regardless, he's still making plans to play with none other that President Barack Obama.
"I did ask [Obama] if he wanted to play golf and he said 'I'd love to.' So we'll make it happen."
