 Jessica Sanchez: Phillip Phillips Deserved to Win American Idol

Upon winning American Idol last night, Phillip Phillips dissolved into tears and hugged his parents. It was a beautiful, pure moment of happiness.

But, moments prior to that celebration, Jessica Sanchez treated viewers to a lovely moment herself: expressing true pride and satisfaction when her opponent’s name was called.

“I really think that Phillip deserves to win and I’m so happy for him,” Sanchez told reporters after all was said and done, adding of Phillip: “He has his funny side and his humble side and he’s just an amazing, original artist.”

The same is true for Sanchez, who may have lost, but who was involved in what most consider the best performance of the evening: a duet with Jennifer Holliday on “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going.” Watch, be amazed and wish this runner-up luck now:

SHOULD PHILLIP PHILLIPS HAVE WON AMERICAN IDOL?

Photo of Boy Patting Obama’s Head Finally Explained

 Photo of Boy Patting Obamas Head Finally Explained

When you’re the most powerful and famous person on Earth, every photo gives way to the next in a matter of hours if not minutes. Except this one.

By popular demand, it’s remained on display at his office since 2009.

An “aw”-inducing photo hangs in the White House’s West Wing showing President Obama leaning over to allow a 5-year-old boy to touch his hair.

The New York Times reveals the back story that led to the picture:

patting obama 521x325 Photo of Boy Patting Obamas Head Finally Explained

The boy in the picture is Jacob Philadelphia of Columbia, Md.

Three years ago this month, his father, Carlton, a former Marine, was leaving the White House staff after a two-year stint on the National Security Council.

As departing staff members often do, Mr. Philadelphia asked for a family photograph with the Commander-in-Chief, who happily obliged.

When the pictures were taken and the family was about to leave, Mr. Philadelphia told Mr. Obama that his sons each had a question …

    Jacob spoke first.
    “I want to know if my hair is just like yours,” he told Mr. Obama, so quietly that the president asked him to speak again.
    Jacob did, and Mr. Obama replied, “Why don’t you touch it and see for yourself?” He brought his head level with Jacob, who hesitated.
    “Touch it, dude!” Mr. Obama said.
    As Jacob patted the presidential crown, Mr. Souza snapped.
    “So, what do you think?” Mr. Obama asked.
    “Yes, it does feel the same,” Jacob said.

A great story, and a great shot by the White House photographer Pete Souza.

IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

 IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

 IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

IBM has reportedly banned the use of the iPhone 4S voice recognition service Siri, but not because it’s annoying or pointless. It’s a security risk.

Possibly, anyway.

IBM Chief Information Officer Jeanette Horan said earlier this week that destination for outgoing search inquiries made using Siri could be a concern.

siri 328x329 IBM Bans Siri in Workplace

When people ask Siri a question the data is sent to Apple’s facility in Maiden, N.C. After that, no one knows what the company does with the date.

This alarms IBM, as Apple could be storing their information on their servers.

Apple doesn’t sayow long data is stored or who can access it, but Horan has made it pretty clear that the company is “extraordinarily conservative.”

Edward Wrenbeck, Apple’s Siri developer, downplayed concerns, saying “People already do these things on mobile devices. Maybe Siri makes their lives easier, but it’s not exactly opening up a new avenue that wasn’t there before.”

Well, except for cellphones getting racist or telling off Zooey Deschanel.

 Elton John Cancels Vegas Performances Due to Serious Respiratory Infection

First, Ray J. Now, Elton John. Is no legendary singer safe?!?

The multiple-time Emmy Award winner was hospitalized yesterday with a “serious respiratory infection,” according to his official website. As a result, John has been forced to cancel the remaining performances of “The Million Dollar Piano,” his ongoing Las Vegas show.

Following various tests at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, John was told by physicians to take a week of rest and antibiotics to “cure his respiratory infection and prevent any damage,” the statement reads.

“It feels strange not to be able to perform these ‘Million Dollar Piano’ concerts at the Colosseum,” John himself says. “I love performing this show and I will be thrilled when we return. All I can say to the fans is sorry I can’t be with you.”

Elton will come back to Sin City in October, but departs on June 1 for a summer tour in Europe.

 Ashley Benson Covets Fifty Shades of Grey Role

Ashley Benson stars in Pretty Little Liars.

If it were up to her, she’d at Fifty Shades of Grey to her resume as well. The 22-year-old is the latest star to express an interest in the much-anticipated film.

Saying she’s been trying to “break out of her good-girl mold,” with more edgy films like Spring Breakers, Benson openly covets the role of Anastasia Steele.

“I’ve read every book. I want to play Anastasia,” Benson said.

Though the bubbly blonde doesn’t quite match the book’s description of Anastasia (“a pale, brown haired girl with blue eyes too big for her face”), she’s dead set on the role, even if some fans see her as a perfect Katherine Kavanagh (Ana’s BFF).

“Kate is awesome. I like all the characters, but Anastasia? I just love her so much!” the actress explained.

As soon as Universal Pictures won the motion-picture rights to the best-selling “mommy porn” BDSM-themed trilogy, fans have partaken in an ongoing fantasy casting game of who should play Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele.

Robsten, Alexis Bledel, Armie Hammer, Emmy Rossum, Matt Bomer, and The Vampire Diaries’ Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder are all oft-mentioned names.

Think Ashley would be a good fit?

Lifetime has found an actress to play Casey Anthony in the upcoming film about her trial. Young, relative unknown Holly Deveaux will portray Tot Mom.

Although Kristen Stewart and other fan hopefuls were rumored as candidates to play the accused child murderer, the network settled on Deveaux.

The film will be titled Imperfect Justice, a Lifetime rep confirmed.

Deveaux, 19, has appeared in TV programs Less Than Kind and Baxter in her native Canada, as well as in a made-for-TV TNT movie, Silent Witness.

Though the actress’ role is a crucial one, Anthony won’t be the focus. Instead, the story will center on the attorneys behind the controversial trial.

Rob Lowe has been cast as Jeff Ashton, the prosecuting attorney alongside Elizabeth Mitchell (who will play fellow prosecutor Linda Drake Burdick).

The Office‘s Oscar Nunez will tackle the role of Anthony’s defense attorney Jose Baez, who pulled a rabbit out of his hat and got Casey off the hook.

In other news, Casey Anthony got served with a subpoena in the lawsuit filed against her by Zenaida Gonzalez, and is dreading going back to court.
