but do you know if the AI website plays clips of the shows? I would love to see the cowboy kid and Zachary.....don't ask me why. I always have been interested in train wrecks.

:)

Yep, there are clips available on the Idol site. Here's a link to the Denver vids. It says there are 8 clips available, so I would assume the cowboy and Zachary are in there somewhere :)

You can also see pics and vids from the Chicago auditions and see a photo preview of the Greensboro auditions.

Hi, Wolfstar :)

Just FYI--Carrie will be singing the National Anthem at the Panthers/Seahawks game this Sunday, 6:30pm EST.

[Wolfstar]

Thanks, Jonny. She also performed at a benefit concert in Maine recently for the Jeff Gordon Foundation. He introduced her to the audience. I am a huge Jeff Gordon fan. When I was speaking of eye candy for ladies, that's what I'm talkin' about. :-)

BTW, if Carrie doesn't already know it, Country music is huge in the NASCAR world and when a superstar driver like Jeff Gordon gives your budding Country career a boost, you are a lucky girl, indeed. I'm sure she'll do the National Anthem at a big NASCAR race eventually.

In the meantime, Jeff filled in for Regis today (he's done so several times) and I forgot to record it. :-(

Cowell Warns Wannabes To Be Honest About Past

British music mogul Simon Cowell is urging American Idol wannabes to "come clean" about their criminal pasts after another scandal has blown up in producers' faces.

Cowell, who is among the judges on the hit show, is tired of having to get rid of top picks when their scandalous pasts come back to haunt them.

And now he faces having to axe twins Terrell and Derrell Brittenum from the competition after discovering they refused to mention a forgery, theft and financial identity fraud rap when producers asked them to disclose any legal matters on entering the competition.

The twins became instant hits on Tuesday night when they performed in the first show of the new American Idol season.

Cowell says, "I like them, we put them through. This might be history, nothing surprises me on the show. It happens."

And he wants all other contestants to reveal all when it comes to their criminal pasts - or risk immediate ejection from the show.

He says, "It happens every year, so 'Come clean guys, tell us what you've done!'"

The talent show's past scandals have included contestants failing to divulge criminal records for battery and theft, and one wannabe was exposed as an internet sex star. fox23news.com
