I don't know why I'm so obsessed with this girl, who made the Top 36 on American Idol but then was determined to be "ineligible" for reasons that were never fully disclosed, but are probably related to the fact that she's been signed to a major label already in the past. (But they knew that when she first auditioned for them, so I don't quite get this.)
She's been trying to make it in the entertainment world forever, and MTV has just released clips of her from a 2002 show they did featuring her, titled True Life Presents: First Year.
Again, I'm not entirely certain why I fixate on her. Maybe because it's good to remember that I'm not the only one who's had my heart broken by something I'd wanted not working out? I don't know. But what I've learned is that, usually, when I'm this obsessed with some random person, a lot of you guys are, too.
So here are the clips from the show.
Oh, and I'll be blogging AmIdol tonight, as many of you have requested. :) />

Eh, I'm gonna go easy on this dude, actually, despite the fact that he voluntarily put his penis inside Madonna recently.
Here's Alex Rodriguez at a press conference, explaining how he wound up testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.
I'll tell you what strikes me about this: I think he wrote damn near every word of this statement himself. It's not polished, it's not perfect, there's too much discussion of his cousin, etc, etc. It's not something that a superstar athlete's publicist would write. I think he insisted on writing this himself and reading his own words, not something that a professional had drafted for him. He wins a lot of points in my book for that.
Around the 4:25 mark, he says, "...and to my teammates," and then pauses for 37 seconds before directly addressing Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Mariano Rivera and Jorge Posada, all sitting in the front row. "Thank you," he tells him quietly. It's sincere.
A-Rod comes out on top here, I think, which is something he probably never got to do with Madonna. />.msnbcLinks {font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 425px;} .msnbcLinks a {text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px;} .msnbcLinks a:link, .msnbcLinks a:visited {color: #5799db !important;} .msnbcLinks a:hover, .msnbcLinks a:active {color:#CC0000 !important;} Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the...
Check out this adorable video of Kingston, the pet piglet.
This little guy is ridiculous cute. He completely reminds me of my Leo when he was just a baby!
Watching this makes me really happy that I decided last year to go veggie. Not that I ever ate piggie to begin with ... being a little Jew girl and all.

Thanks Tiffy! />

Yeah, that's Paris Hilton "freestyling" with Snoop Dogg.
At least she's not talking like a 5-year-old, per usual. />

Total hottie Bristol Palin sat down with Greta Van Susteren on Monday night to do her first interview since giving birth to her son, Tripp. Bristol, who got knocked up when she had pre-marital sex, looks, acts, and sounds very much like the teenager that she is. I mean, she seems like a sweet girl, but she's not especially poised or bright or articulate or capable of interacting effectively with an interviewer -- which stands in stark contrast to Chelsea Clinton or Meghan McCain at that age. It's clear that she was not raised to be a politician's daughter in the way those girls were. Oh, and she also says that abstin...
At the Rodarte show at New York Fashion Week.
All I have to say is that I do not want to see the dry cleaning bill for this garment. I shudder at the thought.
Oh, and on that note, I have a question for you guys: Does anyone know of a good product to use to do dry cleaning at home? I'm thinking that by now they MUST have invented something effective, but everything I try seems to suck. I am so over paying a dry cleaner like a million bucks every time I want to wear a nice dress. Thought...
After being on leave since his January blow-job-fueled DUI, Charles Barkley will be returning to television coverage of the NBA, appearing on TNT's Inside the NBA.
"From the beginning, Charles recognized that he used poor judgment. He took full responsibility and apologized for his actions," Turner Sports president David Levy said in a statement. "We look forward to having him back in the studio."
I think Barkley was an absolute riot about the whole thing, and I just adore the guy. What can I say? I'm an old-school Suns fan. I haven't watched basketball since, like, '95 or so, but da...
"My game was very sexual. The main character was, like, a giant penis. It was like Mario Brothers, but the ghosts were, like, vaginas. Mind you, I'm 12 years old, and this is stuff 30-year-olds are programming. You'd have to draw in and program every little step—it literally took me all night to do a step, 'cause the penis, y'know, had little feet and eyes."
Kanye West, discussing his young and hyper-sexual computer programming skeelz, during an interview with Details magazine in which he ...
Here's Justin Timberlake, walking the runway with his co-designers at the William Rast show at NYFW. JT designs the line along with three other folks: his best friend from school days, Trace Ayala, Swedish designer Johan Lindeberg and Lindeberg’s Italian wife, Marcella.
The line is denim-heavy with a Wild West feel, and, so far, response to the show last night has been positive.
A bunch of pictures from the runway are below.
What do you think of Justin's line?

I went to college with these guys, back when they were playing in a different band. I'm pretty sure I lived with the guitarist for awhile, too, but college is pretty much a blur at this point. They put on a killer live show, and I was so excited when I finally got a fake ID so I could go to all of them (I was Miranda Jayne Quigley from Enid, Oklahoma, and thank you to the friend who found her ID lying on a bench in Lake Havasu and realized we looked a bit alike*). They're incredibly talented ...
Katy is denying stories from this weekend that she was rubbing all over Benji Madden on Valentine's Day. On her blog, Katy says:
It’s two pseudo famous people sitting next to each other… doesn’t mean we were bumping uglies! You know I don’t just do that with anyone! That’s just how the media works, as you can tell. I was there celebrating a really fun show and a boozy valentines with all my good friends. We were like a group of 25! Benji is a nice young fellow, but my heart really ...
