American Idol champ Kris Allen was injured in a car crash Tuesday. Kris’ mom broke the news by tweeting a pic of her son with the caption, “From Kris: He is in a lot of pain, arm broke, may not play guitar for a while. Prayers welcome please #headoncollision.” Later Kris confirmed the accident, but also shared some happier news – he’s going to be a dad. “Yes, I got in a really bad wreck tonight and yes I'm having a lil baby,” he tweeted, and then thanked, “@ford for equipping me with a car that kept my whole family @katyallen @ZorroPup and the little one we have on the way safe.”

Russell Crowe has responded to Adam Lambert’s criticism of the film Les Miserables. Over the weekend, the American Idol runner-up tweeted that he found the movie “visually impressive,” but said “the score suffered massively with great actors PRETENDING to be singers.” Lambert also added, “I do think it was cool they were singing live- but with that cast, they should have studio recorded and sweetened the vocals.” Well, Crowe, who plays Javert in the film, didn’t totally disagree with Lambert. When a fan asked the Oscar winner if he had heard about Lambert’s comments, Crowe replied, “I don't disagree with Adam, sure it could have been sweetened, (director Tom) Hooper wanted it raw and real, that's how it is.”
