American Idol is rather idle right now; Hilary does some explaining; Ted Cruz does some explaining of his own; and Larry King is lucky.

Bonus Scoopage:  The news is out that Julianne Hough is not returning to Dancing With the Stars this season. It has been confirmed that Len Goodman, Carrie Ann Inaba, and Bruno Tonioli will all be back. A rep for Dancing With the Stars shared that they are happy to have all three judges back and that they will be welcoming guest judges when they can. But Hough hasn’t shared why she won’t be back. She just got married recently (to Brooks Laich). A source shared that they want to have babies soon, so this could be part of the reason she isn’t returning. I’m guessing she’s either pregnant or planning on being pregnant sooner rather than later. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard she wasn’t coming back.
