Sooooo, the U.S. government totally screwed me over by scheduling Obama's speech on Tuesday.
Idol had to move to Wednesday, and I was not expecting that. I had a bunch of other stuff scheduled for tonight, so I won't be able to do the typical long-form
Idol recap this week. But DON'T WORRY. I have plenty to say, and I'm going to make my points, I'll just do it in shorter form. Here are my thoughts:
1) I think it's interesting that they didn't interview the contestants' families on the red couch like they did last week. It was SO ANNOYING and it didn't work AT ALL, and the producers obviously noticed that and implemented the change right away. THANK GOODNESS.
2) After seven seasons of having the judges talk in the order of Randy, Paula, Simon, now they're switching it up so a different judge starts each time. I don't quite get that. I liked that Simon always went last. I wonder whose idea it was to make that change. Kara's?
3) I cannot believe how drugged up Paula is.
Cannot believe it. Doesn't she ever watch the tapes of herself and realize how ridiculous she looks? It's mind-blowing that they keep renewing her contract so that she can go on live television and slur like the underage girl in the bar five minutes before she flashes the bartender.
4) Kara's bracelet tonight? Is totally from Nicole Richie's House of Harlow line. It's on the Kitson website
here. I turned to my friend the first instant they showed Kara and said, "I know that bracelet. It's from Nicole Richie's line." And for that I am duly ashamed.
5) Allison Iraheta is probably going to win this whole competition. Un. Fucking. Believable. For a sixteen-year-old? What a natural. I'm in love. She even looks a little like Kelly Clarkson, and she came out of nowhere and gave me chills, just like Kelly did during her very first
Idol performance. She's definitely my favorite so far.
6) I really don't think Megan Joy Corkrey is very good at all. Her performance was awful and the way she bops around on stage is embarrassing. I think the judges went easy on her because she's so pretty, and we lost Casey Carlson last week, and it's important for ratings that we have a total hottie in the Top 12. They should have torn her a new asshole, but they're secretly hoping she sticks around to be eye candy.
7) I find Jesse Langseth to be super duper annoying. And I can't believe the judges commented on how her look was an improvement. WTF did she look like before? That one-shoulder shirt was cheap and ugly and she was wearing the wrong bra -- her tits were practically down around her waist.
8) So is Adam Lambert gay or what?
9) Love Nick Mitchell. LOVE him. (Not as much as I love Allison though.)
10) Jeanine Vailes is the reason they invented rhinoplasty. The instant she gets booted off the show tomorrow, that girl needs to run, not walk, to the nearest plastic surgeon and get that shit taken care of.
In summary, I think the three that get through will be Allison, Nick and Adam. I have a feeling we're going to be looking at a male-intensive Top 12 this year, unless the producers pull some strings and make sure the wild cards are all girls, which I'm sure is exactly what they're going to do.

I know this story comes from The Enquirer, but I have a feeling it's true. Or I'm just projecting and hope it's true. Though Drew's sweet potato face (not to be confused with sweet, potato face) on those Cover Girl ads annoys me, she can't stand John Mayer. That is a stance I can support.
Drew Barrymore is begging Jennifer Aniston to dump John Mayer, telling her: “You can do better!” says a friend of the actresses.

Jerry's back with a new show based on marriage. With the working title of The Marriage Ref, it has one of the most terrifying concepts I've heard in awhile. Picture this: celebrities and athletes will observe couples in the midst of marital discord and-I'm not sure if I can even communicate this with a straight face-counsel and advise the married folk on how to solve their issues.
I personally would consider any relationship advice doled out by a celebrity or athlete the equivalent of...
Hey, I didn't call her a "wharf rat." I'm just trying to be supportive and agreeable here!

You know how Paula Abdul always appears completely whacked out of her mind on American Idol? It can no longer be blamed on drugs. Nope, the Paula you are watching this season is like a pile of fine Colombian-pure and unaltered.
In an OK! interview, Paula tells of the surgery she had this past summer that has changed her life:
For the first time in 12 years, I am pain free. I had my 15th surgery to correct my back and neck problems last August and it worked. Finally! I had a new doctor who...
The former actor, who used to have a career that mattered, has apparently been writing storylines for the WWE recently, but word on the street is that he got fired for leaking storylines to the press.
The official reason for his release is that he couldn't keep up with the demanding schedule, but inside sources say Vince McMahon was furious with the amount of information being leaked to the press, and he thought Freddie might be involved.
Wow, Freddie must be pretty desperate for work. Hi...

BNL lead singer Steven Page has left the group to "pursue a solo career" after getting busted with a shitload of cocaine last summer.
"These guys are my brothers. We've grown up together over the past twenty years. I love them and wish them all the best in the future," said Steven in a statement that did not mention the drug bust.
Do you guys think this'll be the end of the group? Or does anyone even listen to BNL these days anyway? I mean, I always smile when "If I Had a Million Dollars"...
Kevin Federline is in talks with with Gerard Guez to design a line of clothing ... for kids!
“It’s a really tough business, I’m trying to take it seriously and make a quality product for kids but not have parents pay like $500 or something ridiculous for a pair of jeans,” he said. “You buy your kids a pair of True Religions then they roll around in the dirt like kids do and a $200 pair of jeans is gone. With this economy, I’m looking to do something much more reasonable.”
Really? Who the hell buys a little kid a pair of True Religions? If that's how you've...
