MAJESTY ROSE
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Majesty Rose didn't go home empty-handed when she was voted off "American Idol." Carrie Underwood gave her and all the remaining singers gifts. The girls got necklaces with their initials on them and handwritten notes. Underwood wrote to Rose to "keep smiling." The guys got dog tags with their names on them. When Rose heard she'd gotten the lowest number of votes, she grabbed the microphone and started twirling around the stage because she was "truly happy" to be singing for the save. She didn't get it, though. Rose says that's OK. She was singing more for herself than for the save.

SELENA GOMEZ OPENS UP ABOUT HER PROBLEMS
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Selena Gomez got choked up when she spoke to fans about the problems she's been having in a year that saw her spend time in rehab. Gomez can be seen in a video online telling fans she had given into "pressure." She says even though she's surrounded by people who are supposed to guide her, some of them haven't. She says they pressured her, saying "you gotta be sexy, you gotta be cute, you gotta be nice." She says she knows that her fans have similar pressures with school, work, friends and parents. She says until recently, she had "given into that pressure" and lost sight of who she was. She says she's finally learned that she can't be anything but herself and hopes fans realize the same thing about themselves.

''NOAH" - EMMA WATSON
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Some Christians may not like it, but Emma Watson thinks Darren Aronofsky had no choice but to take artistic license when telling the story of Noah. She says in the Bible, Noah doesn't say anything until he speaks on the ark. She says it would've been "a silent film." Not only that, she says "none of the women are really spoken about in the biblical story." So, she says "there wouldn't have been any women in it." Watson plays Noah's daughter-in-law in the movie that opened today.
