The self-proclaimed "King of All Media," Howard Stern,
wants to "kill" American Idol, and Eric the Midget isn't happy about that at all. When Stern first joined
Vote for the Worst to support Sanjaya, I really thought it was a one-time bit. But Stern seems committed to disrupting
Idol's game and
destroying the show's credibility. How far will Sanjaya get? I'm thinking Top 5. If Stern continues to rally his fans, Sanjaya could go all the way.
American Idol wins FAVORITE TV SHOW! At the Nickelodeon's annual Kids' Choice Awards. Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul showed up this weekend to accept the award, but Simon Cowell was a no-show. Too bad, if ever anyone needed to get slimed . . .
According to the Nielsens, the Kids' Choice Awards show
was watched by more 6-to-11-year-olds than
American Idol. Who says kids today watch too much TV?

There are only a few artists that I just can't imagine a talent search singing, one is a group of four guys from Liverpool, the other is the King of rock'n'roll. Even when the most talented performers of the show's history have taken on one of these, I've cringed to myself a little. An entire night devoted to Mr. Presley is going to be rough. Come join me and the rest of the
American Idol fanatics tonight as we chat live during the show. As with all of our chats, you must have AIM or a compatible chat client (Trillian, GAIM, etc), once you have that, meet

Pickler's gone! I'm not nearly as torn up about that as I would have imagined I would
have been if I knew that 3 months ago. She came across as way too ditzy and not nearly as innocent as we had all
originally thought. Plus, I've heard she's absolutely hell on wheels in real life. Oh and her singing yada yada yada,
but let's be honest, that's not what this competition is about. Come join me and the rest of the

Did anybody else think Ryan Seacrest's
high-collared shirt looked like he just returned from a shift as a Candy Striper at the hospital? He just threw on a
jacket and tie and showed up to host
American Idol. By the way, did you think there was
tension between Seacrest
and Paula? Yeah, I didn't see it either.
When I saw that Andrea Bocelli and his producer, David Foster, were
going to be on the show, I thought that seemed like an odd match. It turns out, it was. Very odd. Bocelli didn't really
seem to help the contestants much and his producer only butchered their songs. The complicated arrangements did weed
out the professional singers from the weak ones (ahem, Kellie Pickler).

I don't think I've ever anticipated an American
Idol theme night more than this. Like many of you, I typically hate the theme nights. It feels like someone
stole the song selection book at a karaoke bar, and left only one page for drunken patrons to choose from. But I was
excited for tonight --simply because I thought it would suck. I thought it would be a disastrous mess of awkward and
uncomfortable song choices and bad Freddie Mercury impressions. And, I was absolutely convinced that Taylor Hicks would
wear a fake moustache (a semi-gray fake moustache, of course). But tonight was pretty good. It was entertaining to say
the least.
Don't get me wrong. At times, it sucked. But more trying to drink a McDonald's thick shake
through a straw suck, than Dyson vacuum suck. There was something very triumphantly sucky about tonight and I loved it.
