Well, THIS whole mess just got A LOT more interesting!

We reported a few days back that nine former American Idol contestants have filed a lawsuit together against the reality competition, alleging that they were publicly disqualified from their respective seasons based on their African-American heritage!

But while nobody from Fox or any of the producers of Idol have responded to the claims, it seems as though they won't need to…because various finalists are already speaking up in defense of the show, two of whom are BLACK themselves!

Here are some HIGHlights:

Jordin Sparks made sure to stand out at the VH1 Divas event in the City of Angels Sunday night.

Still channeling her character from Sparkle, the American Idol alum sparkled in a figure-hugging, black Nicole Miller gown accented with gold tiles.

Chunky Sheila Fajl jewels and peep toe Sam Edelman heels finished off Jordin’s diva-fied red carpet look.

The only thing missing was boyfriend, Jason Derulo, but she seems to carry her own just fine.

More divas, please!

To pump things up a bit, VH1 has announced the addition of a few divas (and one divo) to the VH1 Divas show airing live on December 16th.

Luckily, none of these divas are

Cutest. Thing. Ever.

Jordin Sparks and Jason Derulo have been doing it together for over a year — but until yesterday the singers had never done a TV interview together!

Of course Wendy Williams put an end to that!

Thursday the drama lurving hostess invited Jordin and Jason on the show to get down to the nitty-gritty about their hanky-panky.

Press PLAY (above) to hear how the songbirds fell in love, when they first got intimate, and where Jordin keeps her clothes in his home!

Later in the in the chat Jordin reveals her most precious memory of working with Whitney Houston on Sparkle.

It really is a sweet, sweet interview!

We may have been MORE than a little bewildered with the line-up this year for VH1's Divas Live concert, which will feature the likes of Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, and Jordin Sparks paying tribute to the dearly departed Donna Summer and Whitney Houston, but that's apparently because the network has apparently decided only one TRUE diva has to take the stage this year!

And that would be the show's host, Adam Lambert!

Ch-ch-check out the American Idol alum showing off what his pipes can do in a brand new promo for the event (above)…as well as just a true diva needs to hit those high notes in two more…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Well, this is different.

We don't often see celebs wearing print on the red carpet–sparkles and sequins seem to be the go-to for these types of events.

So we are a bit surprised, albeit pleasantly, to see Jordin Sparks taking a risk and rocking this long-sleeved print Etro gown to the 2012 American Music Awards.

We officially approve of this outfit!

The mesh panels along the bodice and hips show just the right amount of skin, and the multicolor patterns are a welcome relief from all those shimmering rhinestones everyone else is wearing.

Thank you, Miz Sparks, for giving us a break from all that glitter overload!

All right, what?!

We were thrilled to find out back in May that this year's upcoming VH1 Divas special would pay tribute to the life and music of dearly departed Whitney Houston, and couldn't wait to learn the line-up of talent to be featured for such an occasion!

However, we're pretty confused to report that in spite of the concert's namesake, this year's line-up warrants that it be re-named VH1 Former Disney Darlings!

That's right, the officially announced tribute to both Whitney and Donna Summer will include performances from Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, and Jordin Sparks!

…again with the HUH?

While we understand the latter's inclusion, given her involvement in Sparkle, and enjoy ALL the ladies as artists, we just find ourselves a little disappointed that producers couldn't land anyone with a little more, ahem, 'clout!'

In fact, we'd argue that the person who warrants
