This week on "American Idol," the top six sang from the Carole King songbook, but the real theme of the night was showmances: Casey and Haley! Lauren and Scotty! Lauren and ... this dude [random audience guy]! Lauren and Steven Tyler! [Clip of Steven Tyler with a little blond toddler on his lap.] Damn, girl, are you trying to audition for "The Real World" or something?

But if we're talking musical promiscuity, Casey Abrams was the real "Hi De Ho." Pianos, trumpets, saxes, harmonicas ... The only thing he didn't hook up with was a melody.

Sit, Ubu, sit! Good dog. [Footage of Casey screaming plays with the sound of the Ubu "bark" from that '80s sitcom vanity plate.]

James Durbin had his best week yet but the brightest star on "Idol" was crazy Penny Marshall. [Jim is in a blond wig and sunglasses]. She is my inspiration.

I want to be her friend, I want to be Scotty's friend, and I really want to be Haley's fu-uh-riend, too.

Yo, Randy, why don't we "turn the other cheek" to Thursday night's results show, where Jimmy Iovine gave his two cents, and Haley told him where he could shove his two cents!

[Clip: Seacrest introduces Crystal Bowersox, but then the camera cuts to a burly male harmonica player.]

Whoa, Crystal really let herself go, didn't she? But Arrested Development hasn't aged a bit! [Footage of Bruno Mars and his 45-piece backing band, who were all sitting on a couch.]

And results!

There's your fake bottom three [the last contestants standing], there's your real bottom three [Lauren, Casey and Jacob sitting on the couch from earlier in the episode].

[Jim holds out a microphone as if he's a sports reporter on the field after the Super Bowl.] Hey, Casey Abrams! You just got cut from "Idol" for the second time. What are you going to do now?

[Jim shouts in a Casey voice.] "I'm going to Creepy World!" [Footage of him grabbing girls by the back of the neck and pulling them in for a kiss during his farewell performance.]

Ding!

Chelsy Davy has no aspirations to follow in Kate's footsteps

Chelsy Davy may have been back with Prince Harry for the big day – but there is no Royal Wedding on the horizon for them.
Zimbabwean-born Chelsy, 26, returned to the UK from South Africa for the wedding and is said to be giving her on-off relationship with Harry another chance. But she has told friends: ‘There’s no way we are getting married. It’s not a life for me.’
Prince Harry invited Chelsy to the wedding as his ‘plus one’, and he has told friends he wants to make their five-year relationship work.

But she is putting her job first – she starts work as a trainee solicitor at London law firm Allen & Overy in September. A friend says: ‘Chelsy and Harry are back together and it was very significant that she was his plus one for the day.
‘Harry adores Chelsy and really wants things to work. He has brought up marriage in the past – usually when he’s drunk – but Chelsy’s the one to quickly play it all down.

‘She has watched what Kate has gone through and how much she has had to sacrifice, and says it’s not for her.
‘Chelsy thought the wedding was wonderful and she had a ball, but there’s no way marriage is on the cards for her. She wants her freedom and to start a career. That’s her focus at the moment, she and Harry are going to see how things go.’
Chelsy was invited to Friday’s wedding reception, wedding breakfast and evening dinner where she was seated at the top table with Prince Harry.

At the all-night disco at Buckingham Palace, she and the Prince spent much of the night dancing together. When they finally left at three in the morning, Chelsy accompanied Harry to the Goring Hotel to continue the party.
‘They were all over each other and Harry went back to Chelsy’s flat before sneaking out and going home. They were very much an item, but who knows what will happen now,’ says a source. ‘They have a very turbulent relationship.’

While Chelsy prepares to start work, Prince Harry has another eight months at RAF Wattisham in Suffolk, where he is training to be an Apache helicopter pilot.
‘Harry’s got to get his head down so he completes his training but he is much happier with Chelsy moving back to London,’ the source said. ‘She wants to make it work – she has missed Haz – but the truth is she really doesn’t like the attention that comes with dating a prince.’

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon's Pre-Baby Pampering

Just before welcoming baby twins into the world, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon readied for the delivery process by living the life of luxury in Palos Verdes, California.

The happy couple lodged up at The Terranea Resort, where they were pampered by the exclusive getaway's staff before leaving the locale to head to the hospital on Friday (April 29).

With everything going as well as could be hoped for, Miss Carey gave birth to a healthy boy and girl on Saturday - as her rep, Cindi Berger, told People, "I spoke to both of them and they are both completely overjoyed."

Meanwhile, Cannon took to Twitter hours after his son and daughter's arrival, as the new father excitedly wrote, "My wife just gave me the most incredible anniversary gift ever in life!"

Not seeing a way to dote a present of the same stature on his lady, Nick jokingly added, "I won't ever be able to top this!"

'Prom' Stars Suggest 'Elaborate' Ways To Get A Date For The Dance

'I like it where people ask in a way where it's unique to that person you're asking,' Kylie Bunbury tells MTV News.

For those who are in high school, or maybe work at one, the release of Disney's sweet and wholesome "Prom" movie kicks off that heavily hyped season of dress shopping, date anxiety and general excitement that surrounds one of America's most storied traditions.

When MTV News caught up with the film's stars, we asked them to discuss the challenging task of asking someone to prom and what should be done in order to get a prospective date to say "yes."

"An elaborate way," Janelle Ortiz said. "I think it has to be an elaborate way, because you're going to remember prom for the rest of your life."

"It's got to be creative," Joe Adler added. "Throw some effort on it."

"Exactly, you don't want it to be some stupid little flower: Go big or go home," Ortiz said.

"I like it where people ask in a way where it's unique to that person you're asking," Kylie Bunbury explained. "One of my friends, she was a softball player, and the boy wrote 'prom' on softballs and wrapped them around her car or something like that."

"[I like] the way his character asks my character," Yin Chang told us of co-star Jared Kusnitz, who plays Chang's long-term boyfriend in the film. "He got big posters of each letter and had a little speech for each letter."

"At the end of my speech, a spotlight shines down, and I'm holding a question mark," Kusnitz continued. "Very simple. Silence says it all."

"I think just be creative," Danielle Campbell advised, reiterating the thoughts addressed by her co-stars. "Know the girl you're asking. There are a lot of cool ways people ask in the movie. You can definitely steal an idea from there or create your own. We probably raise the standards with the movie," she said. "Be creative, and hopefully she'll say yes."

Check out everything we've got on "Prom."
