'American Idol' 'Do Review: Best Hair of the Season Belongs to...

While millions tune in to "American Idol" each week, the contestants aren't the only ones getting the attention.

Judges like Ellen DeGeneres, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul (before leaving the show) manage to share the limelight, too. But ever since Kara DioGuardi took her seat on the "American Idol" judges panel, she has turned heads.

DioGuardi is constantly switching up her long, brown locks. One week it's flowing and curly, the next it's pulled back into a high ponytail or worn straight and sleek.

But she didn't always have her strands altogether, if you ask her.

"Last year was really difficult," DioGuardi told Reuters. "I don't think people understood what it took to go from the back of the studio, writing, to 'Lights! Camera! Action!'"

She goes on to say, "I look back on last year and I see bad hair and the wrong accessories. I was moving as fast as anyone could move and learning as I went. You know, 'Maybe I'll try a ponytail this week?' Oh, no. 'Maybe I'll tease it up like Peg Bundy?' Uh, that doesn't look good."

Whatever hairstyle DioGuardi rocks, she has our vote for best hair of the season.

Now it's your turn to be the judge! Leave a comment below telling us which Kara DioGuardi hairstyle you like best.

Idol decided to add Jermaine Jones after the initial selection period. Contestants Aaron Marcellus, Joshua Ledet and Philip Phillips sounded great, but it was mention of J.Lo's Oscar wardrobe malfunction that really stood out.
  • Tommy Hilfiger to Save American Idol Fashion Tommy Hilfiger to Save American Idol Fashion Play Tommy Hilfiger is bringing his fashion expertise to American Idol contestants and guiding them towards a complete fashion transformation. The contestants like Erica Van Pelt and Jermaine Jones have had fashion faux pas, but Maureen Aladin thinks Hilfiger also needs to lend his advice to a few other important people on Idol, as well.

First of all, theres nothing about that woman I like. She is soooooo fake! Second, her hair almost has to be the best considering Simons do, randys short hair and ellens wash and go look. Best hair on idol means nothing imo. I hope when Simon leaves, he takes the other judges and the producers and they start over.

My sister was considering laser resurfacing to get rid of her wrinkles and instead of going through that pain and expense, I urged her to reconsider and try Dermitage ( Http://Dermitage.NOtlong.com ) with me. I had heard great things about Dermitage and how it was much better than botox. I ordered two jars of Dermitage and sent one to her about 3 months ago. Recently we were together for her birthday and we both were impressed with the smooth look and softer texture of our skin. It was no accident if you go to that web site and read about the ingredients in Dermitage you'll see why it is in a class by itself when it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Kara is an awesome judge, she knows her music, and has
a perfect ear and can express herself wonderfully. She also
looks great. I do wonder why she is always so close to Simon
though(smile).

Kara always looks good and adds sparkle to an otherwise dull line of judges. Simon Cowell must have bought a container full of naff T shirts and has a hair job by Hedgehogs Inc.. Degeneres cleaned out Men's Wearhouse of shirts and vests. Randy is probably the cleanest cut of them, a little color in his shirts brightens his end of the table.

Any chance American Idol could have gotten past season #1 without Simon Cowell? He is British, and in the process of leaving anyway. Randy Jackson also has to go. Whether the person sang good or bad, the first thing Mr. Jackson say's is "Yo Dog!". If there was a dog howling at the moon, I could understand Jackon, but, as far as I can see, everybody is a person.
One more thing; When it get's to the Final 12, or 13, why are Simon, Kara, Ellen, and Randy still giving thier opinions as to how good/bad a performance is, when the audience in the theatre, and at home dials in his/her choice as to who will be eliminated.?
