Oh, how sad. Adam fought hard and long against the disease. He is in a better place now.
Condolences to his wife and children, his parents and brothers, and all who loved him.

PAULA Abdul is hitting the stage for a live perform ance on “American Idol” tomorrow night.
Since she’s preparing to return to the music scene, the timing seemed right to bare her soul over the drug habit that she’s recently kicked.
For the first time, Abdul reveals how hard it was for her to detox from a 12-year-long painkiller addiction.

mj’s blog is saying there is a technical problem and that THE IDOL DRESS REHEARSAL HAS BEEN CANCELED so there may not be any spoilers for tonight.
Everyone please pray for Debbie Byrd, AI Stage Manager. She has been seriously injured at Idol rehearsal and rushed to a local hospital.
Per twitter - One of the big AI rotating balls shorted out and exploded or something. Debbie was knocked off the staircase and fell 20 feet to the stage below. The stage has been badly damaged and there is glass everywhere.
Dress rehearsal was cancelled and the theater cleared. Ryan stayed with Debbie all the way to the ambulance.
Ryan just twittered that the show will go on and what happened will be explained. No word on how they will pull it off with no rehearsal and half a stage.
Does that mean they didn't get to rehearse for tonight's show? That might be a good thing, LOL
Ya won’t believe it! lol
