Carrie Underwood reveals the one thing she’d change about her ‘American Idol’ experience

Carrie Underwood is one of the biggest stars to emerge from American Idol, but even though her time on the show obviously worked out the best it possibly could have for her, she still has one regret.

Asked by Billboard what she would change if she could go back in time and change one thing about her time on the show, for which she now serves as a judge, Carrie says, “I’m very angry with myself because when I was on the show, I wasn’t taking any pictures. I’m thinking, ‘Why? Why didn’t you do that? Why didn’t you save these things?’”

Carrie goes on to say, “We had a girl come in that had a pair of jeans that I wore on the show, and she told me, ‘My grandpa bought these at a charity auction.’ … [A]nd I asked, ‘Can I buy them back from you?'”

“Why did I let them go?” she wonders. “Why didn’t I keep more things and just document things a little better?”

As for fellow judge Luke Bryan, he says the one thing he’d change is that he “would have cherished more moments with Willie Spence.” Willie, the season 19 runner-up, died in a car crash in October 2022. He was 23.

“That’s a biggie to me – losing him and knowing how much he touched me in that room, in that space, watching him perform week in and week out. It was truly breathtaking,” Luke says.

“He was from Douglas, Georgia, which is an hour from my hometown. That loss really affected me. From time to time, I’ll see a clip of him singing and it just breaks my heart for him and his family, and I just can only imagine what his career might have been.”

“HELP(2) is out now and every stream and purchase supports @warchilduk in their efforts to help children living through the unthinkable,” Olivia wrote on her Instagram Story. “So many wonderful artists I admire are on the album and I am honored to have been able to be a part of it.”

Snoop Dogg has found another way to represent Black culture. In his latest venture, he teams with Do The Right Thing Snacks for a new version of Rap Snacks, the Snoop Box Kettle Chips.

“I joined Rap Snacks because it represents culture, ownership and community. With Do The Right Thing Snacks, we’re showing the youth that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor or authenticity to make better choices,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement. “We’re giving our communities options that still hit on taste, speak to our language and support a healthier lifestyle. That’s what doing the right thing really means.”

Snoop’s Rap Snacks, available at select Costco locations in three flavors, arrive following the launch of the Marathon Burger in Long Beach, his partnership with Blacc Sam, the late Nipsey Hussle’s brother. 

It also comes on the heels of his message to Team USA ahead of the 2026 Milan Cortina Paralympics.

“Coach Snoop here, and you already know what time it is,” Snoop said. “You are the athletes who we define strong, and your greatness is beyond comparison. And it’s not just me. All of America is proud of each and every last one of you. All around the world, your family and friends, we love you from the D-O-double G and everybody is cheering you on. Tonight is the official start of your games so let’s do this. U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A, go!”

The 2026 Paralympics Winter Games in Milano and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, kick off Friday and end on March 15.

The trailer for the upcoming documentary The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel is out now.

The film was originally announced by Netflix in January under the title The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and was said to focus on the early years of the “Californication” outfit, specifically the artistic vision of original guitarist Hillel Slovak, who died in 1988.

In a subsequent statement, RHCP clarified that film is not a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary and that they “had nothing to do with it creatively.” The band added that frontman Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea gave interviews for the movie “out of love and respect for Hillel and his memory.”

“We have not yet made a Red Hot Chili Peppers documentary,” the statement read. “The central subject of this current Netflix special is Hillel Slovak and we hope it sparks interest in him and his work.”

The doc’s name has now been updated with the Our Brother, Hillel subtitle.

“Everything about the Red Hot Chili Peppers was all Hillel’s vision,” Kiedis says in the trailer.

The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel premieres March 20 on Netflix.

The Who’s Pete Townshend is the latest celebrity to take part in the Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s Colbert Questionert.

Townshend revealed that his favorite sandwich is pastrami on rye with mustard and a pickle; his first concert ever was Bill Haley & His Comets in 1958; his favorite action movie is Ang Lee’s Hulk; and that if he got only one song to listen to for the rest of his life it would be “Tracks of My Tears” by Smokey Robinson.

Asked what happens when we die, Townshend said he doesn’t believe anything happens.

“I think consciousness is what we are, not our bodies. So I think consciousness probably goes on in some form or other,” he said, adding that when people die, consciousness moves on. “Maybe then there’s a possibility of reincarnation or heaven and hell, whatever, I don’t know.”

When asked if he ever had an out-of-body experience, he shared a funny story of a bad STP trip he had on an airplane, noting that at some point he left his body and floated above the airplane, flying through the sky, which was filled with lost items like socks and buttons.

Asked whether he prefers cats or dogs, he choose dogs, but had a good reason why. Townshend said growing up he was a “snotty” kid, and every time he was sick his mother, who took in stray cats, would give him a cat to keep him company. When he was 12 he got tested and found out he was allergic to cats, noting that while his mom was trying to help, it actually “just made it worse.”

Finally, when asked to describe the rest of his life in five words, Townshend thought hard about it before saying, “Make another record, lazy (bleep).”
