Lea Michele and Zooey Deschanel were joined by their fellow FOX TV friends as they celebrated the network's shows at an all-star party during the 2013 Winter TCAs in Pasadena yesterday. Lea's Glee costars Kevin McHale and Jane Lynch dropped by the bash, but Lea's on- and offscreen boyfriend Cory Monteith wasn't photographed at the event. Meanwhile, Zooey's sister, Emily Deschanel, who stars on FOX's Bones, color-coordinated with her sister in a black cocktail dress. Mindy Kaling, Shannon Woodward, and Nicki Minaj also swung by to celebrate.

The event followed a busy day of promotion for the stars, who sat on a FOX comedy panel yesterday. During the interviews, Mindy got big laughs when she joked around with Zooey about having "special privileges" on The Mindy Project.

American Idol closed out its 11th season in LA tonight and crowned Phillip Phillips the winner! The two-hour season finale brought out some of music's biggest stars like Rihanna, Chaka Khan, John Fogerty, and Dream Girls legend Jennifer Holliday, who joined finalist Jessica Sanchez on stage for an unforgettable duet of "And I'm Telling You." The judges also got in on the action. Steven Tyler and Aerosmith performed a medley of songs while Jennifer Lopez flashed her abs in a studded bra and got the crowd on their feet with her latest dance track, "Follow the Leader." The evening was packed with exciting moments, including a marriage proposal. Former contestant Ace Young got down on one knee and popped the question to girlfriend, and Idol's season three runner-up, Diana DeGarmo.

Following the results and Phillips's emotional performance of his first single, "Home," he headed backstage to chat with press about his long road to tonight's finale, and how he's processing the win. Phillip said of his big win, "It's so unreal . . . it hasn't sunk in yet, it's just such a blessing to have." Phillip was humble talking about his own success, but Jessica was quick to compliment her competitor, saying, "When they announced it was Phillip I was so happy. I love him so much; he deserved it. He's been having to keep up with his health issues; he's been through a lot more than us, both mentally and physically." Season 11 was full of excitement for the contestants and the judges. However, we'll have to wait and see if J Lo returns for season 12.

American Idol finalists Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips went out on a high note last night, with each hopeful singing their heart out for the judges, studio audience, and fans watching at home. Each contestant performed three songs, one chosen by the show's producer, Simon Fuller; one of their choice; and an original single they'll release should they win. Jessica kicked things off by belting out Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" followed by Celine Dion's "The Prayer," and she took her final turn on Idol singing her potential single, "Change Nothing." Phillip, who won the coin toss and chose to perform last, began his night with Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," followed it up with Billy Joel's "Movin' Out," and closed the show with his coronation song, "Home."

All eyes were on the finalists. However, Jennifer Lopez stole a moment of the spotlight in a sexy, asymmetrical see-through bodysuit. Jen will be back on the stage again tonight to perform her latest track, "Follow the Leader." It could be J Lo's final curtain call, as her future on the show is still undecided. Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery briefly spoke about J Lo's rumored departure from Idol, saying, "I'd hate to see her go. Whatever happens happens. She's got a lot going for her, so she'll be fine."

Jennifer Lopez got a lift to the American Idol sound stage in West Hollywood yesterday in a white Bentley driven by boyfriend Casper Smart. In addition to her Idol judging duties, Jennifer has What to Expect When You're Expecting out May 18. We chatted with Jennifer at the film's LA junket, where she opened up about her own pregnancy and talked about her upcoming music tour — stay tuned for more from our exclusive chat! Jen's hitting the road this Summer with Enrique Iglesias as well as Casper. She's been perfecting her choreography with Casper's help, and fans will see the fruits of their labor when the tour kicks off in Panama on June 14.

There are only two weeks left until American Idol's season 11 winner is crowned, and the four remaining hopefuls took the stage last night. J Lo, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler joined Ryan Seacrest, who had a special guest, girlfriend Julianne Hough, in the audience. Julianne and her Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman went onstage with Ryan mid-show to talk about their upcoming movie. Ryan, though, decided to have a little fun with Julianne. Ryan pretended to propose by reaching into his pocket! Instead of pulling out a ring, Ryan produced a piece of paper. He said, "It's a question I've been meaning to ask you and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Will you. . . give this note I wrote to Tom Cruise? I'm such a big fan."

Jennifer Lopez made her way to the set of American Idol in Hollywood last night in a short, sequin minidress. It's her second sexy outfit of the week following her Wednesday appearance in an ab-baring ensemble. Idol hopeful Elise Testone was the latest to be sent home — do you agree with the results? — which leaves five contestants still in the running for this year's title. Katy Perry dropped by earlier in the week and taped a performance of her hot track "Part of Me," which aired during the results show.

J Lo's been mentoring the singers all season, and next week she'll take the stage and show off her own singing and dancing skills. She's planning to perform her latest track, "Dance Again," alongside boyfriend Casper Smart. Jen's been practicing the choreography with her dancers and even invited them to her home last weekend for a shirtless and bikini-filled barbecue!

American Idol experienced some new drama last night when reports surfaced that Ryan Seacrest might miss his first show in 11 seasons of hosting the program. Ryan, suffering from flu-like symptoms, skipped dress rehearsal, but when the cameras started rolling he was on stage and ready to work with judges Jennifer Lopez, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler. Jennifer showed her abs in her latest eye-catching ensemble, wearing head-to-toe gold. Her cropped top was a jacket from Temperley London.

The contestants were also on point last night and belted out personal favorites and hits from rock band Queen. The judges sat back and enjoyed the show with the Idol hopefuls nailing song after song throughout the evening. Jennifer confessed her undying lover for Joshua Ledet and gave him a standing ovation following his chilling performance of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and “Ready for Love." Jessica Sanchez was pitch perfect on her rendition of Luther Vandross’s “Dance with My Father” and Hollie Cavanagh closed out the night with a cover of Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb" — who are you rooting for on Idol? Idol is back tonight with the results, and next week on May 3 fans will get a treat when J Lo takes the stage with boyfriend, and backup dancer, Casper Smart to perform "Dance Again."

American Idol rocked its West Hollywood studios last night with performances from LMFAO and former winner Kris Allen. The program closed by sending home Colton Dixon. Colton received the fewest amount of votes following his Wednesday night arrangements of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "September." Next week the six remaining hopefuls return to face the judges, inching closer to the May 24 finale when the next Idol is crowned.

LMFAO got the crowd on their feet last night, and today they have even more reason to celebrate. The 2012 Billboard Music Award nominees were announced this morning, and just behind Adele, who earned 18 nods, was LMFAO with a staggering 17 nominations for their Party Rockers album. The Billboard Music Awards take place May 20 with major acts in the music industry expected to perform their chart-topping hits.
