Dial Idol was right last week, right?
Dial Idol had all three right the first week, and two right last week.
Um...that's OK. LOL
Off topic, my mom bought my 2 1/2 year old niece and nephew sock monkeys for Valentine's Day (the socks reminded me of this story). My niece was scared of it. LOLOL She kept looking at it suspiciously all night. Like, "It's from grandma, so it's probably OK, but what is he grinning about???"
The last few times I was at Best Buy it was so empty that they will probably take IOU's written on cocktail napkins.
LOL!! No, it will just confirm that I spend way too much time here.
This was on the Levin thread and I feel as if it needs WIDE publication, because it is BRILLIANT!!!!!
“LETTER FROM THE BOSS.....
As the CEO of this organization, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama is our President, and that our taxes, and government fees will increase in a BIG way. To compensate for these increases, our prices would have to increase by about 10%.
Since we cannot increase our prices right now due to the dismal state of the economy, we will have to lay off six of our employees instead. This has really been bothering me, since I believe we are family here and I didn’t know how to choose who would have to go.
So, this is what I did. I walked through our parking lot and found six Obama bumper stickers on our employees’ cars and have decided these folks will be the ones to let go. I can’t think of a more fair way to approach this problem. They voted for change; I gave it to them.
I will see the rest of you at the annual company picnic.”
I bought a birthday card today for my step dad today. It has Obama sitting behind a desk in what looks like the Oval Office. The text bubble above Obama's head says 'Your birthday is all about change!' Inside it says: 'I had just enough of it left to buy you this card.'
I know he'll like it, since he can't stand Obama.
That’s so funny! I used to have a sock monkey. And Raggety Ann and Andy - I always wondered why my heart wasn’t on my skin like theirs were.
American Idol Exclusive: A Judge Wines and Dines a Contestant
Apparently Randy Jackson didn’t learn anything from Paula Abdul’s scandal with Season 2’s Corey Clark because our sources tell us Jackson had dinner with one of Idol’s Top 36 contestants the night before their big audition for the Top 12.
Last Tuesday, the night before the second round of Idol’s Top 36 wannabes performed for a slot in the Top 12, our spies tell us Idol contestant Adam Lambert was spotted at Katsuya having dinner with judge Randy Jackson. Afterward, Lambert hit Hotel Cafe were he was overhead telling people about his little rendezvous.
We’re gonna go out on a limb here and say that is in complete violation of Idol’s fraternization rules.
What might they have been discussing over Albacore with Crispy Onions and Spicy Tuna with Crispy Rice?
Performance tips? Record deals? Song selection? Paula’s craziness? Whatever it was, that is a whole lot of not cool.
Especially since the next night Adam had what we thought was an impressive, if overly Vegas-cheesy, performance. But Randy gushed all over him like Lambert had just invented zero-calorie pizza that comes with a side of sex.
Is somebody playing favorites?
Was Randy’s indiscretion the reason our man, Norman Gentle, failed to make the Top 12?
Something is seriously off, and it ain’t just Paula and her meds.
We know reality TV is completely manipulated but we expected more from Idol.
Bad form, Dawg. Bad form.

UPDATE: Idol and Jackson have acknowledged the encounter with Lambert at Katsuya, but insist the two had only “run into each other” and that was it. Read our latest update of the story here and why we’re not having any!

Yesterday we published a report about American Idol judge Randy Jackson fraternizing with Idol contestant Adam Lambert before he made the Top 12.
Not surprisingly, Idol and Jackson immediately released a denial of the story, acknowledging the encounter at Katsuya, but saying the two had only “run into each other” and that was it.
Mmm hmmm.
When you were a kid and you did something wrong, what was the first thing that came out of your mouth?
“I didn’t do it!”
You knocked over a lamp, ... you spilled on the new carpet, ... you broke the by-laws of one of the most successful shows in the country. …
“I didn’t do it!”
Judges and contestants aren’t supposed to have anything to do with each other off the Idol stage. Right, Paula?
If they just “ran into each other,” then why did Lambert spend the rest of the evening at Hotel Café bragging to anyone who will listen about his encounter with Jackson and how well they’d gotten along? Why were there reportedly empty plates sitting in front of them at Lambert’s table? And why wouldn’t Jackson have been wise enough to notice Lambert at the Katsuya, give him signature “’Sup Dawg” and keep walking out of the restaurant?
He knows the rules.
the song is far better than your posts.
Cute!
LMAO
He looks like Eddie Munster
She never accepts any of the prizes she wins anyway. Fedorov was returned postage due :)
LOL!
Perfect!
Ugh...his eyes follow you around the room.
Although, I would gladly accept him over Blake Lewis.
The Flamingly Gay Dude has Got. To. Go.
“Ugh...his eyes follow you around the room.”
He is a mere rookie...if you want eyes t hat follow you around the room...........MARTY FELDMAN! ;-) LOL
