There's lots going on in the Idolverse this weekend. Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson both perform at the iHeart Radio Festival Friday. Many radio stations will carry the iHeart concerts, which are also streaming live. Also, Carrie Underwood sings It Had to Be You with Tony Bennett on Friday's episode of Blue Bloods (10 p.m. ET, CBS). Majors & Minors, which will have a heavy Idol presence throughout the season, premieres Friday on The Hub Network (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT), as well.
Also, check out this ET Online interview with Adam Lambert, who appeared on Lifetime's Project Runaway Thursday (watch the full episode here, in case you missed it). Also, Kris Allen, shown above during a recent SiriusXM visit, can be seen in the new Kidz Star USA webseries.Over on The X Factor side of things, ratings for Thursday's show held up pretty well, dropping less than five percent, though CBS' The Big Bang Theory and Person of Interest did draw a bigger audience. And the Parents Television Council has filed an indecency complaint after Geo Godley's pants-dropping performance Wednesday, saying, "The prolonged, previously videotaped footage of a contestant dancing nude on the X Factor stage represents a conscious decision by the producers -- with the approval of the network's broadcast standards department -- to intentionally air this content in front of millions of families during hours when they knew full well that children would be watching."
