The 10th season of "American Idol" has come to a close. Where has the time gone? MTV News has been all over season 10 of the reality-TV ratings juggernaut from the get-go, so it was fitting that we head to downtown Los Angeles, specifically the Nokia Theatre red carpet, for Wednesday night's (May 25) big finale.

Our trusted "Idol" expert Jim Cantiello spoke with a bevy of "AI" stars past and present — stick with MTV.com as we roll out our coverage over the next couple of days — everyone from former contestants Adam Lambert, Kris Allen and David Cook to celeb guests Judas Priest, Jack Black and the very surprising appearance of "Real World: Hawaii" alum Teck Holmes. First and foremost, however, are the sonorous words from Scotty McCreery and third-place finisher Haley Reinhart.

When asked about McCreery's proposed single and final "Idol" performance, "I Love You This Big," the sweet-voiced country crooner said the song is a perfect fit for him.

" 'I Love You This Big' is great," McCreery told us. "It was a great song to start off with and I was so excited when they played that for me in a demo. I thought this could really be a good one," he added, before promising fans a "great show" on Wednesday night.

Moving on to Reinhart, who didn't have a proposed single to discuss (yet), so instead we asked her for the inside scoop on what songs she wanted to sing on the show, but didn't get to. "I wanted to do 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley," Reinhart revealed. "I thought a girl doing it would be awesome. I had a jam band going on for the past four summers, and we did that song and I had loads of fun with that, and it's pretty soulful so I like it," she explained.

" 'What Is and Should Never Be," I plugged from the start and they told me I was probably not going to get it," Reinhart said of the song she performed during her final week as a contestant on the show. "They've got to pull a ton of strings for that, man. I got the approval from [Led Zeppelin's] Robert Plant and Jimmy Page themselves, and that to me is just the coolest. And having my dad up there with me, even cooler."

Reinhart went on to say that there were lists and lists of songs she wanted to do, but never had the opportunity or, in some cases, the approval from the show's producers.

"I wish I could just pull them out of my brain, which ones I was thinking about, because I had literally lists of songs I wanted to do," she said. "I did want to do 'Que Sera,' a version from Corinne Bailey Rae; it's a stripped-down, total blues, it's totally different," she revealed. 'I was plugging for it for weeks and everybody is like, 'It's going to go like this Haley [gestures with her hand whooshing over her head], over their heads,' so I figured hopefully someday. Maybe it's not right for 'Idol,' but it would have been a cool jam."

Drake Wasn't Dissing Jay-Z, Rick Ross Says

'I know he wouldn't disrespect Jay,' the Boss tells 'RapFix Live.'

Rick Ross is making it clear: Drake was not dissing Jay-Z on any of his new verses. Ricky Rozay, along with a few of his Maybach Music Group infantrymen (Meek Mill, Wale, Pill), stopped by "RapFix Live" and made the clarification while heaping praise on Hova.

After telling MTV News' Sway Calloway that he and Drake converse often, and sometimes via iChat, Ross spoke highly of Jay-Z, who was president of Def Jam when the Miami rapper first signed to the label as a solo artist.

"We all gotta give it up to Jay-Z," Ross told MTV News. "When it comes to this music game, Jay is the exception to the rule. That's the big homey that put me on; that's the big homey that showed young black entrepreneurs how to move. He gave us so many classic gems and so many classic maneuvers. He also showed us how we can carry ourselves as bosses."

According to Rozay, Jay-Z's ascension from the street corner to the boardroom serves as inspiration for people from the "jungle," meaning ghettos and poor neighborhoods. "We rarely see a young, black, rich, wealthy young dude carry [himself] with a certain level of class and still get the job executed," he said. "I think that was something if you was black and from the 'hood, it was something that you could relate to and respect outside of music."

The Boss then squelched any notions that certain Drake lyrics on DJ Khaled's "I'm On One" and the Toronto rapper's own "Dreams Money Can Buy" were thinly veiled shots at Hov.

"I know when those records are released and those vibes are in the air, I know the certain excitement that people anticipate and want to make it into," Ross explained. "But I know Drake, and I know when he's writing, he's most definitely being the most creative, but I know he wouldn't disrespect Jay."

Do you think Drake was going after Jay-Z in his verses? Tell us in the comments.

Jessica Alba Explains HypnoBirthing To The Masses -- And Ellen

When expectant mama Jessica Alba said that she recommends hypnobirthing classes for other moms-to-be, most people - including Ellen Degeneres - had no idea what she was talking about; thinking she was involved in some kind of far-fetched practice. But as Alba explained to the talk show host on Friday's show (May 20), hypnobirthing is not nearly as obscure as the name may suggest.

"It's not like the clock in front of your face and you go out and you wake up and you got a baby," Jessica joked. "Basically, my husband takes me through sort of a meditation. He'll say, 'You're relaxed, and you're floating on clouds,' while you're going through labor and your contractions," she went on to explain.

Kate Moss & Jamie Hince: London Lovers

Spending some quality time with one another, Kate Moss and fiance Jamie Hince were spotted out and about in London, England earlier today (May 25).

The pair looked like the picture of perfection, as the British beauty sported a sexy 'n short black dress, while her hubby-to-be wore a gray blazer and black pants.

Readying herself for her upcoming July 2nd nuptials, Kate has set her sights on legendary rapper Snoop Dogg (who recently turned down an invitation to Prince William's bachelor party) as top performer for the reception.

Also said to have made Moss' wedding wish-list are Kanye West and the Rolling Stones.

Melissa McCarthy Reveals The Secret Inspiration For Her "Bridesmaids" Character

By now you've probably heard—or seen for yourself—that "Bridesmaids" is totally hilarious and Melissa McCarthy, who plays tomboyish and frisky Megan, is clearly the breakout star of the film. On last night's "Conan," she revealed the celebrity inspiration for her character: None other than spiky-haired chef Guy Fieri. "Every scene I would have my glasses on the back of my head," McCarthy explained. "I tried for a long time to convince them to let me wear short, white, spiky hair, and they were like, 'You can't actually be Guy Fieri.'" It makes so much sense! [Splitsider]
