To celebrate "American Idol"'s 500th show and the finale of season 13, here are the top 100 songs by Idols based on chart performance on the Hot 100, with the stories behind the songs, many of them being told for the first time.
K-pop groups 2NE1 and BTOB will appear in upcoming episodes of "America's Next Top Model." The news follows 2NE1 appearing on an episode of "The Bachelor" in January.
A federal lawsuit filed in New York charges that Sony Music Entertainment cheated "American Idol" contestants including Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood out of at least $10 million in royalties.
Cee Lo Green is leaving his spinning judge's chair behind. The producer and recording artist said he will not return to NBC's "The Voice," telling Ellen DeGeneres in an interview airing Wednesday, "I'm not coming back, guys."
"American Idol" returned to Fox on Wednesday night, with as much attention fixed on the new judges panel as how this latest retooling might help stem several years of steep ratings losses.

Josh Krajcik’s soulful vocals and romantic lyrics would make any date complete, which makes it only fitting that the "X Factor" alum will be serenading an intimate evening for two on this Monday’s episode of ABC’s "The Bachelor."
American Idol’s season 13 premiere is less than a month away, and new judge Harry Connick, Jr. promises that the deck is not stacked for either a guy or a girl winner.
