Thursday Dish

Andrew Garcia and Katie Stevens were sent home on "American Idol" last night leaving the contestant pool to seven. Next week the remaining seven will perform inspirational music and once again, the viewers will decide who goes home. Rumor has it that the real reason rapper Nicki Minaj backed out of Rihanna's concert tour is that her former manager did not get the proper passport paper work done in time for the artist to tour. Again, this is only a rumor and the rapper's camp has not confirmed or denied the rumor. Singer Whitney Houston recently performed in England to negative reviews. The embattled singer was recently hospitalized with a respitory infection and has appeared to be ill in public. Be sure to check out the latest issue of XXL magazine in stores now. Drake and Nicki Minaj grace the cover and discuss what's next for themselves and the rest of the Young Money crew. Actor David Duchovny is back  after a long absence. The "X Files" star has finished a new film and is living a much calmer life after enduring some trying time. He says he is grateful for the opportunity. It's great to have him back. On the tube: "Bones" on Fox, "Survivor: Heroes Vs Villains" on CBS, "Flash Forward" on ABC and "The Office" on NBC. Happy Thursday!
