LOL!
I was going to wear my Lego bowtie today, but now I'm having second thoughts.

Country cutie Lauren Alaina didn’t win Season 10 of ‘American Idol,’ but she’s still enjoying all the perks that come with having been on the show. In fact, her latest professional coup is even better than winning the ‘Idol’ crown. The singer, who returned to the ‘Idol’ stage to perform her rawkin’ hit ‘Georgia Peaches’ on Thursday, March 8, tweeted the good news that she took part in a major new collaboration.
That’s huge news for our gal. Teaming up with ‘Idol’ judge Steven Tyler to lend that beautiful voice of hers to a new Aerosmith album is a really big deal, since they are one of the biggest acts in rock. Remember, Tyler has always had a soft spot for Alaina. He declared that the judges had found “the one” after her initial audition last season. He wasn’t right, but then again, it was up to the American voting audience, not him. Finishing second is nothing to sneeze at, though.
We have a new Drama Queen. The Gentle Giant is a poser.

Jermaine Jones — the 6’8” gentle giant on “American Idol” — has big problems with the truth, because he fabricated a sob story to “A.I.” producers to win the hearts and minds of the American people.
“A.I.” sources told TMZ ... last week, after appearing on the show ... Jermaine came to them and said his dad called him from out of the blue, claiming pops abandoned him and his mom 10 years ago. Jermaine told producers he was extremely upset that his dad suddenly reappeared in his life now that he was famous and potentially rich. Jermaine said his dad was “a lousy father” and wanted nothing to do with him.
Well TMZ spoke with Jermaine’s dad, Kevin Jones, who says the sob story is absurd — that he has had an ongoing relationship with the young man through the years and even had dinner with him on both Wednesday and Thursday night of last week.
Kevin also says his son was not telling the truth about getting a phone call from out of the blue — Kevin says he was actually in the audience last week supporting his child.
We spoke with production people on “Idol” who tell us they are “shocked” Jermaine concocted the story and it seems like it was all a ploy to get some traction on the show.
We could not reach Jermaine for comment.
