Syesha is performing in the top three tonight of American Idol. Sandwiched between the two Davids, Syesha has held on and is the last girl remaining. But it wasn’t an easy road getting here for this young lady, who found herself in the bottom two week after week. She has been recently called the “dark horse” of this competition, however this underdog label by the judges seems to be compensation for dismissing her early on. Continually giving her backhanded compliments they seemed to be grading her on a curve. Last week she sang Tina Turner’s Proud Mary and while once again getting inconsistent remarks from the judges, I thought she fit the part perfectly. Working her Beyonce whiplash moves and her Tina Turner sass she fits right in. Doesn’t she look like a star? Well she sounds like one too. While I don’t always vote for her (I have to admit, often my votes go to David Cook or are at least split between the two of them) I do think she should get the credit she deserves. Congrats Syesha!

Beyonce Knowles (L) and her main man Jay Z catch the fall 2008 Versace menswear presentation with her former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland (R). Fun fact: Kelly has lived with the Knowles family since the age of 10 and is considered more Beyonce’s sister than bandmate and friend. The question that lingers is…where was Michelle? Discuss.

Just when you thought Gwyneth Paltrow had went all rock mom, last night she let her fans know why she is still fashion’s darling. Wearing a beautiful golden apricot silk tulle and chiffon Zac Posen gown, Paltrow gave her look extra edge by bringing back her long goddess hair that made her famous in the late 90’s. Paltrow was not alone in following this trend, Beyonce (pictured with just a slight curl at the bottom) and Reese Witherspoon following suit. Who had more extensions? “B” or Mrs. Martin?
