4 4 As Seen In/January 2016 AMERICAN IDOL TAKES ITS FINAL BOW American Idol dominated the pop culture landscape in the early 2000s and discovered such successful singers as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood.

5 5 As Seen In/January 2016 AMERICAN IDOL JUDGES RANKED! RANDY JACKSON COMES IN AT NUMBER 3 Jackie Kennedy in her signature sunwear during her time as first lady. #3 RANDY JACKSON (seasons 1-13) The Dawg was one of the original three judges from the beginning of American Idol. He lasted so long that his catchphrases ( in it to win it ) and descriptions ( pitchy ) became something we all knew too well. The noted session musician and producer generally knew his stuff and, unlike so many of the judges, rarely made the moment about himself. MEMORABLE MOMENT When James Lewis delivered a truly terrible audition of Go Down Moses in Season 7, Jackson and Paula Abdul couldn t stop laughing, but in true Jackson style, he asks for forgiveness from Lewis and tells him, This is not your thing, dawg.

6 6 As Seen In/January 2016 Randy Jackson looks back on 15 years of American Idol (and the elimination that still pains him) Plus, why the original judges panel reigned supreme ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: A lot of the success of the show over the past 15 years can be attributed to the fact that the original trio of judges was overflowing with chemistry. Did you know each other before the show started? RANDY JACKSON: I had known Paula [Abdul] for years and I had met [Simon] Cowell once or twice because we were both record company guys. Yeah, it was lightning in a bottle but I ll tell you what, we really lucked out because none of us knew that we could have that chemistry. It was instant. But there were growing pains. The first day on set the first hour there was a dustup with all three of us because we couldn t believe how crazy Simon went on this once contestant. You re horrible, you re terrible. We were like, you can t say this guy s horrible! You can say his voice is horrible, but you can t say that he is! So we stopped for like, two hours, had this whole powwow. We had some growing pains but Simon was who he was and we were who we were, you know. You fell in the middle of Paula and Simon in terms of judging style. What were your goals heading into that first season? I just really wanted to be honest. I wanted to be somewhat encouraging but if you re really delusional and have a terrible talent I m gonna say you have a terrible talent. But too many times I ve seen somebody, years later, turn around with some encouragement and become really good. If you think somebody has an inkling of talent, you want to inspire them and give them some real sound advice. What s your favorite performance ever? So many. Kelly Clarkson, the finale of that first season. Clay and Reuben, that finale, Fantasia singing Summertime. But Jordin Sparks had a moment, for me, when she auditioned for us in Seattle. We looked at each other me, Simon, and Paula and were like, Where have you been?! And she said, I ve auditioned three times but I never made it in front of the judges. And we were just like, What?! And that was the season that you guys really hated the Seattle auditions, right? Yeah! But Jordin was incredible and of course went on to win the whole thing. You know, there are just so many memories like that. I think of the first time we saw Kelly Clarkson in Dallas, the first time we saw Carrie Underwood. I mean, my God. I think back to when we saw Clay Aiken in Atlanta, you know! We were shocked and surprised. And then there are some wild moments with some of the funnier contestants.

7 7 As Seen In/January 2016 I don t think America will ever forget William Hung. Oh my God, that dude! That s what I m saying he and his father and whomever was handling him at the time really made a go of it, really built a business. And he was a very smart kid. He made it work. It just goes to show that you can make something out of almost nothing. Because he certainly didn t have a voice. [Laughs] Is there an elimination that still pains you? Jennifer Hudson was my wow card that year, and I was gutted when she got eliminated because with her and Fantasia and LaToya, it was like we had our own version of the Supremes up there. And it gutted me because I really thought she could go all them way. But she s proven that she could and she has. You ve sat through countless auditions have any songs been completely ruined for you? Every season we banned songs. People were just killing Alicia Keys, they were killing Adele, they were killing Mariah. People love and admire those songs, but sometimes they re just so terrible it s like, my God, come on, save yourself and save us. But Alicia Keys Fallin. Alicia, God bless you, but man, I don t know what was goin on with them and your song. What are your thoughts on the various iterations of the judges table? I m of course biased, but I think me, Paula, and Simon was still the best ever best ever of any judges ever on any kind of show like this. Cause we discovered some great talent that has gone on to do some great things. But I think a lot of them have been good. Jen[nifer Lopez] and Keith [Urban] and Harry are good, and if you take away some of the antics that happened between Mariah, Nicki [Minaj], me, and Keith, I thought it was good. People always look at that season as a little bit negative but I think it was still valuable. Once the show is off the air, what do you hope people remember about it in the years to come? Dude, that people had a good time. It s like, one thing we d always say is, nobody including us should take themselves too seriously. It s only music. Songs and lyrics, lyrics and melodies. You know what I mean? Catch the final season of American Idol Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8pm ET on FOX.

8 8 As Seen In/January 2016 NATIONAL GLAUCOMA AWARENESS MONTH January is National Glaucoma Awareness Month, an important time to spread the word about this sight stealing disease. Currently, more than 3 million people in the United States have glaucoma. The National Eye Institute projects this number will reach 4.2 million by 2030, a 58 percent increase. Glaucoma is called the sneak thief of sight since there are no symptoms and once vision is lost, it s permanent. As much as 40% of vision can be lost without a person noticing. Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness. Moreover, among African American and Latino populations, glaucoma is more prevalent. Glaucoma is 6 to 8 times more common in African Americans than Caucasians. Over 3 million Americans, and over 60 million people worldwide, have glaucoma. Experts estimate that half of them don t know they have it. Combined with our aging population, we can see an epidemic of blindness looming if we don t raise awareness about the importance of regular eye examinations to preserve vision. The World Health Organization estimates that 4.5 million people worldwide are blind due to glaucoma. In the United States, approximately 120,000 are blind from glaucoma, accounting for 9% to 12% of all cases of blindness. Here are three ways you can help raise awareness: 1. Talk to friends and family about glaucoma. If you have glaucoma, don t keep it a secret. Let your family members know. 2. Refer a friend to our web site, 3. Request to have a free educational booklet sent to you or a friend. Connect with us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for regular updates on glaucoma research, treatments, news and information. Share information about glaucoma with your friends and family.

13 13 As Seen In/January 2016 D uring the past 22 years, Daisy Fuentes has helped define the perception of Latina beauty in the entertainment, fashion and merchandising industries. Born in Havana, raised in Madrid and New Jersey and currently residing in Los Angeles, she is the rare combination of All-American and Latina. Long before there were any prominent young Latin women on American television, Daisy became the first VJ to be signed to both MTV U.S. and MTV Latino, which launched her career as an international TV star. Just as she was becoming increasingly popular with the MTV audience cosmetics giant Revlon came calling and signed her to a multi-year, worldwide contract as a spokesperson- another first for a Latina personality. Since then, Daisy has appeared on countless magazine covers, starred in many national TV ads, hosted numerous TV shows and specials, been named to People Magazine s 50 Most Beautiful, and created the Daisy Fuentes brand, which includes everything from sportswear and sunglasses to fragrances, bedding and more. Despite her many accomplishments, Daisy is more than her talents and signature style; she s also a celebrity who believes in the importance of contributing and giving back. Since 1998, Daisy has been the celebrity chairman for the annual St. Jude Angels & Stars gala in Miami, and she has also worked with many breast cancer awareness causes, including the Revlon/UCLA Women s Breast Cancer Research program.

15 15 As Seen In/January 2016 ANDERSON COOPER HELPS TELL STORY OF HIS ICONIC MOTHER, GLORIA VANDERBILT IN UPCOMING HBO FILM Since he s always asking people about their lives in his role as a CNN reporter, Anderson Cooper said it felt only natural that he do the same with his own life and that of his famous mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. He also believes the upcoming HBO film, Nothing Left Unsaid: Gloria Vanderbilt & Anderson Cooper, can be a lesson to viewers not to miss an opportunity to learn as much as possible about their parents when they still have the opportunity. There was much for Mr. Cooper to find out. His mother, born into one of the richest families in America and now 91, was the subject of a high-profile custody battle when she was a child. She dated stars like Frank Sinatra, famously launched a brand of designer jeans under her name and saw her son Mr. Cooper s older brother commit suicide at age 23 by leaping from their Manhattan penthouse in My mom has been in the public eye probably longer than anybody else alive, Cooper said on Thursday. The film debuts April 9 on HBO. Cooper, 48, was the instigator of the project. He has been spending a lot of time over the past decade going through boxes of memorabilia, filled with art and letters, in her home. Cooper interviews his mother throughout the documentary, and he gives to filmmaker Liz Garbus his own tapes of conversations with his mother though the years, when she was renown as a socialite, fashion designer and author. As an outsider, Ms. Garbus was able to make connections and observations that he would never have thought of, Cooper said. I know my mom in a way I didn t know her a year and a half ago when we started this process, he said. There is plenty of sadness in their lives, particularly the death of Anderson Cooper s father at age 50, and Carter Cooper s suicide in In a lengthy scene at the end of the movie, Cooper and his mother visit his grave on a winter day. To this day, the family doesn t understand why he jumped, although he had begun treatment for depression in the weeks before his death. Despite the evident pain and her regrets, Ms. Vanderbilt said talking about her late son is a way to keep him alive to her. If one is telling the truth, there is nothing to fear and it is very freeing, she said.
