''AMERICAN IDOL"

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Majesty Rose was singing the hit "Happy." But the result for her on "American Idol" was anything but happy. Majesty was voted off last night. She did Happy for the judges, in hope they might use their once-per-season save. Keith Urban says it was the toughest decision yet this season. But the answer was a no. So, Majesty goes home. CJ Harris and Sam Woolf were also in this week's bottom three.

''NOAH" - EMMA WATSON

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Emma Watson can understand why some people might be worried about Darren Aronofsky directing a movie about Noah. She says Aronofsky is known for doing "very dark, very intense, very gritty" movies and Noah's story hardly fits into that category.

Many people are complaining that he took too many liberties with the story. Noah opens today.

JON HAMM - YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE DON DRAPER

NEW YORK (AP) — Jon Hamm doesn't understand "Mad Men" fans who tell him they want to be like Don Draper. He tells Time magazine that he asks them "You want to be a miserable drunk?" He says they want to be "like the guy on the poster" but not "The actual guy." Hamm says "the outside looks great, the inside is rotten." Hamm says that's a good metaphor for advertising. He says "Put some Vaseline on that food, made it shine and look good. Can't eat it, but it looks good." The final season of "Mad Men" starts in less than three weeks.

NEW YORK (AP) — Liam Neeson had a strange way of finding out that Woody Allen was having a relationship with Mia Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi. He tells GQ that he was in bed with Judy Davis about to film a sex scene in "Husband and Wives," but they couldn't start until Allen showed up. After 20 minutes in bed with Davis, Allen showed up and they filmed the scene.
