Idol news: Simon picks the finalists, and Ace stars on Half & Half

If you don't listen to Howard Stern, you might have missed this. Simon Cowell was on yesterday and he says that he thinks the three finalists are going to be Chris Daughtry, Taylor Hicks, and Kellie Pickler. Not sure if other people at Idol would want him to pick his finalists, but there you go.

In other AI news, Ace Young actually filmed an episode of Half & Half (no, I've never seen the show either) last year, and UPN is going to repeat the ep on April 3.

You'd be dumb not to agree with Simon here. He is absolutely right. Don't give me this Mandissa stuff.
