NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Kara DioGuardi is coming back to TV.

The former “American Idol” judge is set to appear on “Going Platinum,” a song-writing competition on the Bravo Network.

DioGuardi will be head judge of the 10-episode series. Singer-songwriter Jewel will serve as host.

“Hit songs are the backbone of the music industry, and as a publisher, nothing excites me more than finding new songwriting talent,” DioGuardi said in a statement released by Bravo. “I am happy to be a part of a show that helps up and coming songwriters pursue their dreams, while giving the public a look into the creative process.”

The show will pit contestants against one another as they live together, 부산출장안마 all vying for a $100,000 grand prize.

Here’s what some of them had to say: “Youngsters with a taste for adventure will no doubt overlook the movie’s workmanlike outlines and applaud its spirited, self-reliant heroine, who proves to be as appealingly unruly as her tumble of Titian curls,” explains Ann Hornaday, Washington Post. “The Pixar name used to mean something. And it never quite meant pleasantly safe, safely forgettable movies like this,” writes Stephen Whitty of the Newark Star-Ledger. “It’s a lively, psychologically astute tale filled with humanity, wit and charming performances,” writes Claudia Puig of USA Today. “This Celtic-themed story hews so closely to classic fairy-tale tropes, it’s the studio’s most Disney-fied production yet,” notes Sara Stewart, New York Post. “‘Brave’ isn’t a bull’s-eye, but it’s close enough,” writes Tom Long of the Detroit News. “Leave the kindergarteners at home, and take your tween daughter to this one, if she is willing to be seen in public with you,” explains Willie Waffle of wafflemovies.com. “Brave” is easy to like but hard to love, a feel-good fable with the latest bells and whistles,” Joe Williams of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch writes.

Special Section: Gulf Coast Oil DisasterStephen Baldwin suing Kevin Costner over BP dealKevin Costner pitches $895M oil spill plan Feldman asked the potential jurors whether the entertainers’ on-screen portrayals compromised the ability to deliver an objective verdict. No one in the pool said they would feel influenced. Among Baldwin’s roles was caveman Barney Rubble in “The Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas.” Costner’s films include “Dancing with Wolves,” “Field of Dreams,” and “JFK,” Oliver Stone’s film with New Orleans connections to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Baldwin and Costner did not interact before the proceedings started. Baldwin told The Associated Press his attorneys had advised him not to comment. Baldwin and his friend, Spyridon Contogouris, said they didn’t know about the deal when they agreed to sell their shares of Ocean Therapy Solutions, a company that marketed the centrifuges to BP, for $1.4 million and $500,000, respectively. (At left, watch Costner testify to Congress about the machine in 2010) Baldwin and Contogouris claim they were deliberately excluded from a June 8 meeting between Costner, his business partner Patrick Smith and BP executive Doug Suttles, who agreed to make an $18 million deposit on a $52 million order for the 32 devices, according to the lawsuit. Later that month, Costner and Suttles visited Port Fourchon, La., to talk about the plan to use the centrifuges. “It was designed to give us a fighting chance, to fight back the oil before it got us by the throat,” Costner said at the time. Baldwin and Contogouris say they were entitled to shares of BP’s deposit. Their lawsuit claims Costner and Smith schemed to use BP’s deposit buy their shares in Ocean Therapy Solutions. “Maybe one of the directions that Mr. Costner might go as a defendant in this case is that he had taken a great deal of risk as it relates to these machines,” legal analyst Chick Foret told WWL-TV. Costner said he didn’t attend a June 6, 2010, meeting at which Contogouris agreed to sell his OTS interests. “Not only did Costner not know that Plaintiffs were negotiating to sell their OTS interests, he was surprised and offended by the idea that Contogouris and Baldwin would walk away from OTS with almost $2 million in cash despite having invested no money in the company, and at a time when a contract with BP was uncertain to materialize,” says a court filing summarizing Costner’s version of events. Baldwin and Contogouris are seeking more than $21 million in damages. Costner and other defendants also are seeking damages in counterclaims.
