Quick Bo update: His single 'The Real Thing' is still rising and is just two spots away from going into the top 40, and that's without any promos. His album also has officially gone gold and is at #44 on the top 200. So, even though his health problems have severely held him back, the album's performance continues to show he has tremendous potential.

Remember the ventriloquist on last night's show? He was just on the local news, bellyaching that AI "made me look like a fool!" He says the producers forced him to take his dummy with him when he met Simon, Randy and Paula. Paraphrase: "I didn't want to take him--I knew I would be humiliated!" Pfft, right. Nevermind that he can't sing.
