Colin Stough has his mother to thank for the positive changes his life has seen over the last year. His mom, Nara, encouraged the then 18-year-old to audition for American Idol. The small-town Mississippi native blew judges away with his audition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man,” leaving judge Luke Bryan exclaiming, “That’s what American Idol is about, right there!” Stough made it all the way to the season 21 finale night before viewers eliminated him in third place. Far from a setback, though, the “horse-loving, motorcycle-riding 19-year-old from Gattman, Mississippi” is thriving. And soon he’ ll even be a married man.

Imagine American Idol rejecting you and then coming back to kick your feet up at the judge's table. For Maren Morris, that could be an amazing moment of catharsis. Already, Morris collects her fair share of checks from the show. Whenever one of the aspiring singers decides to cover one of her song, Maren rakes in the dough. She jokingly describes it as "sweet revenge." Perhaps she could reel in an even bigger paycheck as Katy Perry's replacement.

Full transparency: that was the most "PG" photo I could find of one of Katy Perry's Paris Fashion Week outfits. Don't get me wrong — it's an incredible look. Effective half-nakedness aside, I adore the fact that Perry could easily be mistaken for being on her way to shooting a new Matrix movie. Fortunately, I believe it'll be safe if I show y'all as "full" a picture of the attire as I can without being fired!
