LAS VEGAS – Marie Osmond told a Las Vegas Strip audience as she returned to the stage less than two weeks after her son’s apparent suicide that she has relied on her spirituality to cope with his death

“Little did I know I would be relying on my faith, especially as much as I did this past week,” Osmond said before dedicating a song to her 18-year-old son, Michael Bryan, whom she called “my angel.”

Wrapped in a robe with white feathers that resembled an angel’s wings, Osmond genuflected and reached out her right hand as she sang the song amid a starry backdrop.

Betty White fans, your prayers have been answered. The former Golden Girl will appear on “Saturday Night Live” in the near future, she confirmed to PEOPLE at Elton John’s annual Oscars viewing party on Sunday night.

Fans have been clamoring for White, 88, to do “SNL” — an idea she called “ridiculous” just a few weeks ago — ever since her comic turn in a Snickers ad during the Super Bowl. One Facebook page devoted to the cause has attracted half a million fans.

(CNN) — Even before Ellen DeGeneres took her seat on “American Idol,” the roar began.

Cries of “What does she know about music” and “Bring back Paula Abdul” lit up blogs and message boards. Then the next shoe dropped — anchor judge Simon Cowell announced that the ninth season would be his last.

Fans had barely adjusted to the addition of a fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi, the season before. Once it was announced that DeGeneres was coming onboard, the naysayers were even more perturbed.

Will she be there? If so, will she be able to give a decent performance? Those were the questions hanging over tonight’s “American Idol,” thanks to yesterday’s hospitalization of Crystal Bowersox. As a result, the Top 10 Girls performance show carried a dramatic thrust that it usually doesn’t have.

So was it self-defeating incompetence, a pressing urge to reassure viewers that Bowersox was OK or a helpful assist to an ailing singer who might have been waiting to hop back into bed that she was the first of the evening? Probably all three.

This one was predictable: Kate Gosselin’s decision to join the cast of “Dancing With the Stars” has reportedly made her ex-husband, Jon Gosselin, very unhappy. According to Us Weekly, he thinks he should be able to see the kids more than his current visitation because his ex-wife will be travelling to Los Angeles where “Dancing With the Stars” is taped.

“Jon’s angry because doing ‘Dancing With the Stars’ will keep her away from the kids for days, and she still won’t let him have any extra custody,” a source close to Jon Gosselin told Us Weekly. “Nannies will watch them instead of Jon.”

I’m not sure what happened tonight, but it was not a great way to kick off the season.

Overall the performances for the most part were just so-so. Katie Stevens – loved. Siobhan Magnus – I’m a new fan. But so many of the others really failed to deliver. I thought this was the year of the woman in music. Guess the Top 12 didn’t get the memo.

I so hope the guys step it up Wednesday night. Seriously.

So who do you think is going home? Who stays?

(EW.com) — When a grassroots campaign involves both Facebook and a beloved “Golden Girl,” the scope of its influence cannot be underestimated.

To wit: Sources confirm to me exclusively that “Saturday Night Live” is thisclose to signing TV legend Betty White to host the show for the very first time.

But there’s a catch — and a pretty cool one at that.

White would not be hosting alone. Rather, I hear “SNL” is putting together a “Women of Comedy” episode that would team the former Rose Nylund with several of her younger contemporaries. Ex-”SNL” MVP Molly Shannon is on board, I hear, and feelers have also been put out to Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

VANCOUVER, B.C. — – Former “Growing Pains” star Andrew Koenig, who played Boner on the ‘80s TV show, has been reported missing.

“He went up to [Vancouver] to visit friends who last saw him on the 14th,” Danielle Koenig, his sister, told Zap2it.com, which was first to report the news. “Any information we can get on his whereabouts would be helpful.”

It’s getting down to the wire for “Smallville,” “Community” and a slew of other network series stuck in Nielsen purgatory — with just weeks left to go before final verdicts on their fates are handed down.

For shows “on the bubble,” these are the times that try showrunners’ souls. Every week of ratings data between now and May, when fall schedules are revealed, brings glimmers of hope or new evidence suggesting damnation is near.

“Being on the bubble is incredibly stressful,” says “Chuck” co-creator Josh Schwartz, whose NBC series rallied back from the brink after fans rallied behind it.

We once again have a Lambert on “American Idol.”

The remaining top 24 were revealed on Wednesday night and Alex Lambert (apparently no relation to Adam) made it through along with Lacey Brown, Crystal Bowersox, Janell Wheeler, Katie Stevens, Michelle Delamore, Siobhan Magnus, Lilly Scott, John Park, Joe Munoz, Ashley Rodriguez, Haeley Vaughn, Paige Miles, Tyler Grady, Jermaine Sellers, and Andrew Garcia.

And since “Idol” wouldn’t be “Idol” without some controversy, contestant Chris Golightly, who made it into the Top 24, was replaced at the last minute by contestant Tim Urban (who I’m going to go out on a limb here and say is not related to Keith). According to a press release from Fox, it was determined that Golightly was ineligible to continue in the competition.
