The singer who recently lost his wife had the judges on their feet. Alexis Grace also managed to stand out of the “American Idol” pack.
Changes abound on “American Idol.” Because there are 36 semifinalists instead of 24 this season, only the top three vote-getters of each of three semifinal rounds advance. The other nine either go home or wait for the wild-card round that decides the last three spots.
According to producers Larry Mark and Bill Condon, they’ll do whatever it takes to have M.I.A., who gave birth to a son Feb. 11, perform “O Saya” from “Slumdog Millionaire,” even if it means having her do it from a bed.
The production team behind the Oscars was hoping that choosing Hugh Jackman to host and keeping some presenters shrouded in secrecy would ramp up the show’s ratings. As it turns out, rapper M.I.A. might be the show’s real secret weapon.

There seems to be no middle ground for director P.J. Hogan.

Today’s reflection revolves around one of my favorite questions I like to ask people: What makes you happy? On the surface, it seems like a simple question that should be fairly easy to answer. However, I’m willing to bet that if you give this question some serious thought, it might not be so easy to answer. Which bodes the question, if you don’t know what it takes to make you happy, how can you realistically pursue happiness? With that as our foundation today, I ask you again to consider: What makes you happy?
As I see it, one of the most important intangibles you can usher into your life is happiness. The late English writer Storm Jameson once wrote, “Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed.” The truth is that happiness looks very different to each one of us. What makes one person deliriously happy will often do absolutely nothing for another. However, one of the keys to finding happiness in life involves knowing what it is that makes you happy. If you don’t know what makes you happy, I suggest you give this some serious thought today. Happiness is one of life’s precious treasures that will lift your spirit, enhance your well-being and enrich your life.
Wishing You Great Health,
Dr. John H. Sklare
