Hello on this Friday, April 11, 2008. I'm Rebecca Field with today's UPI entertainment update. Many American Idol fans are shocked after last night's elimination. The Australian born singer Michael Johns got the boot on the show after getting the lowest number of viewer votes. The audience started booing when the singer was sent packing. Johns sang Aerosmith's Dream on earlier this week and got pretty good reviews from the show's judges. It was also his first time in the bottom three. Actress Mischa Barton is spending time on probation. A Los Angeles judge sentenced the actress to 3 years unsupervised probation in her DUI case. The actress escaped jail time by pleading no contest to the charge and agreeing on a plea deal with prosecutors. She has also been ordered to take an alcohol education class and pay a nearly 2000 dollar fine. Barton was arrested last year when she was spotted weaving down a highway. Ashlee Simpson's family members are weighing in on her engagement. According to People magazine, her sister Jessica says she couldn't be happier about her sister's upcoming marriage to Pete Wentz. Their Dad, Joe Simpson also confirmed Wentz asked his permission to pop the question, and he told the musician he would be honored to welcomed him to the family. Juan Luis Guerra is celebrating big wins after last night's Latin Billboard Music Awards. The Dominican singer took 3 trophies, including artist of the year and producer of the year. Other winners include Fanny Lu of Columbia...she snagged an award for her song Y Si Te Digo. And Aventura took hot Latin song of the year for Mi Corozoncito. Donny and Marie Osmond are teaming up to host a Mother's day special. The brother and sister duo will reportedly host Teleflora Presents America's Favorite Mom...set to air on NBC on May 11. On the show, the Osmonds will crown a deserving mom...based on online viewer votes. Donny says he and Marie are excited to be involved in honoring America's real treasures. That's all for now.
