 Bret Michaels on American Idol sings with Casey James: Celebrity Apprentice winner rocks 

 May 26 2010 -- The night of American Finale surprises included one shocker that hardly nody knew about, the return of Bret Michaels. As we all know Bret has been ill with life threatening complications that almost killed him. Last Sunday he took to the television by winning Celebrity Apprentice and tonight he came on strong singing with Casey James.

The evening performance definitely went to Michaels and James. A simple song with several meanings, the two rocked it out and made America want to start crying as well all could see Bret Michaels was alive and well.
The talent for the evening didn't stop with Bret Michaels. There was Janet Jackson, Alice Cooper, Kelly Clarkson, and even Carrie Underwood just to name a few of the big names that graced the Nokia stage. All of them shared their music with the finale of the decision on who was the next American Idol.

who won american idol tonight

Lee Dewyze, 24-year-old former paint-store employee was crowned as this season's winner of American Idol, beating out Crystal Bowersox, the favorite to win.

Incase you missed finale, the show was a two-hour dedication to host Simon Cowell who had announced earlier this season that he would be leaving, as well as a showcase of performances from former Idol winners and major names like Janet Jackson, Christina Aguilera, Chicago, Hall & Oats, Joe Cocker, Michael McDonald, Alice Cooper and the recently recovered, Brett Michaels.

American Idol winner: Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox and Joe Cocker sing ‘With a Little Help from my Friends’ (video)

The American Idol winner is Lee DeWyze and before the results were read an incredible performance was given when Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox and Joe Cocker sang ‘With a Little Help from my Friends.’ There’s no doubt that some would say it sounded as if Janis Joplin was in the room!
Tonight had many guest performances including a surprise appearance by Bret Michaels, Paula Abdul, all of the Idol winners (except for David Cook), past season contestants, Janet Jackson, Alice Cooper, Alanis Morissette, Michael McDonald, Hall and Oates, Chicago, the Bee Gees, Cristina Aquilera and more.

You may watch the video of American Idol winner Lee DeWyze, Crystal Bowersox and Joe Cocker singing in the video player below.

As far as American Idol finales go, this one was pretty good. It didn’t have the same type of showy feel that other finales have, but since it was a farewell to Simon Cowell, it was a fitting tribute. Lee DeWyze may have been the most emotional American Idol winner the show has ever had as well.

North, South Korea sever ties

North, South Korea sever ties

BEIJING – North and South Korea both took steps Tuesday to sever their ties, plunging relations on the peninsula to their lowest level in years after the sinking of a South Korean warship.
North Korea said late Tuesday that it would sever all ties with the South, cut off communications and not resume any contact during the tenure of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. The North also said it would expel workers from a jointly run industrial park in response to the South's efforts to seek redress for the ship's sinking.
Earlier, the South Korean president said he would redesignate North Korea his country's "principal enemy" – a designation dropped during inter-Korean detente in 2004. On Monday, Lee announced tough trade measures against Pyongyang, including a ban on all imports and exports and the closure of South Korean waters to ships from the North.
Although South Korea has said it will not retaliate with force, instead seeking sanctions before the U.N. Security Council, North Korea accused Seoul of making a "deliberate provocation aimed to spark off another military conflict."
The South Korean naval vessel Cheonan was on patrol in the Yellow Sea on March 26 when an explosion ripped apart the hull, killing 46 crew members. Investigators from South Korea and several other nations, including the United States, issued a report last week saying that the sinking was the result of a North Korean torpedo.
On Tuesday, North Korea showed no signs of flinching in the standoff with South Korea.
North Korea said it had given permission for its soldiers to shoot at South Korean loudspeakers, a response to an announcement Monday that Seoul would resume broadcasting propaganda across the demilitarized zone that divides the peninsula.
The strongest measure, announced late in the day, was the severing of all relations and communications with South Korea. As a practical matter, that would mean closing an industrial park in Kaesong, just north of the DMZ, which was once the showcase for cooperation between the Koreas.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il might be able to exploit rising tensions with South Korea to distract his nation's citizens from the abysmal state of their economy. His popularity has suffered because of a botched currency reform late last year. The ailing 68-year-old leader is also in the process of trying to install his youngest son as his successor.
"Dictatorships undergoing internal political turmoil generally manifest belligerent external behavior," the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies said in a report Tuesday.
