Since auditioning for American Idol‘s ninth season, Crystal Bowersox has made a name for herself on a variety of fronts — diabetes spokesperson, didjeridoo enthusiast, kick-ass coverer of Rolling Stones classics, heartfelt singer-songwriter, and VH1 staple — but it was hard to imagine she’d ever find herself in the role of murder suspect. Tuesday night’s edition of ABC’s Body of Proof (10/9 c), however, will change all that, as Bowersox plays …READ MORE
No debuting fall TV series got more publicity — or carried higher ratings expectations — than Simon Cowell’s U.S. version of The X Factor. But while initial ratings for the show’s four audition episodes didn’t hit American Idol-level numbers — Episode 3, for example, drew a respectable, but not sensational, 11.5 million eyeballs — executive producer and head judge Simon Cowell says he thinks the show can grow to behemoth proportions as …READ MORE

From the moment she dazzled the judges with her audition on the Season 8 premiere of So You Think You Can Dance, Melanie Moore looked like a serious contender for the title of America’s Favorite Dancer. And over the next four months, the 19-year-old Georgia pixie maintained that front-runner status, eventually taking home the crown on the Aug. 11 season finale, and scoring promises of job offers from Lady Gaga and movie director Kenny Ortega along the way. TVLine caught up with Melanie to talk about her memorable “Return to Stone” dance with Marko Germar, her “leap of faith” with SYTYCD All-Star Neil Haskell, and the whereabouts of a certain pair of enormous red platform boots. …READ MORE

After all, Fox’s long-running singing competition has been nominated for eight years running without a single win. So you’ll forgive the show’s executive producer for getting something of a Susan Lucci complex as Idol awaits TV’s biggest night on Sept. 18 to hear the outcome of nomination No. 9.
