The Justin Files, 3/19/08

Return of the Beatles
Well, on Idol at least. Last night was another Beatles night. Some were good (David Archuleta redeeming himself after forgetting the words last week. Paula and Simon were practically offering the kid a recording contract right there), and some were terrible (Kristy Lee Cook's truly bizarre arrangement of one of my favorite Beatles songs, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away).

Tonight, someone goes home, and Kellie Pickler visits to shill for her new single.


From singing to dancing
The second night of the Dancing with the Stars premiere proved that when it comes to dancing, in general, the ladies got what most of the guys don't. Priscilla Presley was very impressive and really got into it. But Marlee Matlin was the story of the night. As you know, she is deaf and can't even hear the music to keep up with the rhythm. All of the judges praised her dedication and very good performance, although Carrie Ann warned her that they would be judging her the same as they judge the others.

Kristi Yamaguchi got the best scores, but that's not a surprise considering her background in figure skating.


Miley Cyrus may seem a bit waxy


But that's only because she's the newest celeb to be included in Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Times Square. The figure will be unveiled tomorrow. The first 100 fans will score themselves some Hannah Montana goodies.




Quick Hits
* We know the name of Halle Berry's daughter; Nahla Ariela. Not only is it not a wacky celeb pseudo-name, but it's kind of pretty. According to US Weekly, Nahla is an Arabic word meaning, "drink of water", and Ariela is related to Ariel which means, "lion of god".

* Simon Cowell may seem like a mean fella on Idol, but he knows the meaning of generosity. The 200 Million Dollar Man told Oprah that he is donating $162,000 to the family of a 3-year-old who is battling cancer to help pay off their mortgage.
