I was already to make fun of him, but thought I would google him first. I guess he's supposed to have an album out in June. So we can make fun of him then. ;-)

We'll have to keep track, I'm curious too, to see if bailing early really helped him or not.

Or leave out the main subject in the sentence. I do that all the time.

Like, "It was so funny the time we all."

[Netizen]

The name was Mario Vasquez, right? I saw a recent article about him somewhere. I'll have to see if I can relocate it.

[retrokitten]

Yep, that's him.

[Netizen]

Came across this while looking for the other article. Not sure if it was posted before or not.

NASHVILLE, TN (Country Weekly) - Carrie Underwood is enjoying a lot of firsts this year - No 1 single, No 1 album, ACM Awards and CMT Music Awards Nominations- and hitting newsstands on Monday, she will appear on her first Country Weekly cover.

Underwood posed for the photos in mid-February for the 7-page spring fashion spread, photographed by Kristin Barlowe. Underwood modeled fashions by a few of her favorite designers Nicole Miller, David Rodriguez and Kenneth Cole. The shoot took place in south Nashville the day before she filmed her new video 'Don't Forget To Remember Me.' About her own fashion Underwood says, 'I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl, but it is fun to play dress up every once and a while.'

Well I kinda have a love/hate relationship with the weather around here. I get to see natures beauty but natures beauty can turn ugly and deadly. My anxiety levels go up greatly when a storm is getting ready to pound us, but I cannot help myself and I have to pull out my camera since the clouds lay so low over us. I also watch the storms carefully for rotation since I can see far off.

Already this year we have had 4 tornadoes touch down in my county all within 10 miles or less of me. My little town (I am outside of the town) was hit at least once this year and Sunday they had damage due to a storm that had very strong gusts of wind.

We used to live on a cliff overlooking Lake Erie. We used to watch the storms roll in off the lake, so I know what you mean about the love/hate and wanting to watch.

Just make sure you have time to take cover when needed. :)

Hey, look what else I found. :)

'Idol' Love Triangle?
Has Fedorov found a new 'A.I.' love?
By TMZ.COM STAFF
(Mar. 20) -- Internet message boards were abuzz during last season's 'American Idol' that Carrie Underwood and contestant Anthony Fedorov were secretly dating. TMZ has now learned exclusively that Fedorov is dating ousted 'Idol' semi-finalist Heather Cox.

Cox, who made the Top 20 this season, met Fedorov, the 3rd runner-up last season, at an 'American Idol' party in Hollywood last month.

When Fedorov was bounced last year, Underwood was caught by cameras, crying and mouthing the words "I love you" to Anthony while he sang.

Seems that Fedorov has moved on from one 'Idol' blonde to other.

That is too funny!

I found something else kind of funny.

American Idol 5
Innocent Kevin Connives With His Ex

Commentary & Report by Ron Lemon
March 14, 2006
You may have read elsewhere that sweet and innocent Kevin Covais dumped his high-school sweetheart in the belief that more young teenage girls, thinking he was single, would vote for him. I'm not sure why young teenage girls would vote for the nasal toned Chicken Little look-a-like but that is another story.

The truth is sweet innocent Kevin is not so sweet and innocent. In fact he is doing what he can to manipulate the vote. He did not dump his girlfriend. The truth is that sweet and innocent Kevin along with his girlfriend, Victoria Fairclough, connived to announce the separation so that young teenage girls would vote for him. And that's the word straight from alleged dumpee Victoria.

Maybe now that the deed is done Victoria is not so happy about it. According to Tmz.com "they broke up when 'Idol' began because they agreed he'd gain more popularity if his fans knew he was single."

So is he really single? Victoria tells Tmz "that she and Kevin still talk several times each day, even though his schedule's becoming more hectic now that 'Idol' is kicking into high gear." "He's my best friend still," she says. "We'll remain friends," she continues, although she isn't sure if they'll ever get back together."

Sounds like Victoria is not so sweet and innocent either. Is she trying to play both sides? Help Kevin out while he is on Idol, but leave the door open for a make-up-after-the-break-up? And why would she want to stay in Kevin's good graces? Is turn-about fair play?

More truth - Victoria is an Idol wannabe. She'll be old enough to audition next year and she plans on it. According to Tmz in "their Island Trees High School, 'I.T. Idol' competition, Kevin sang 'Bridge Over Troubled Waters' and 'Daughters', while Victoria sang 'The Wizard & I' (from the musical 'Wicked') and 'I Will Always Love You' -- she came in first" "He was upset that I won," she says. "But he was still happy for me. He was proud of me."

As we watch and enjoy this year's American Idol let's remember it is about careers, image, and millions of dollars. Do you really think there is any sweet and innocent contestants? Or will they all do whatever it takes?

[Netizen]

Now then, if she plans to audition for Idol next year. 1) Will we ever see her during auditions? 2) Will she be good enough to make the cut? 3) What does SHE look like? lol

[Netizen]

Found her. Seems she has to wait for Idol 7.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Her post says she is in Illinois.

Well, yes, I saw that, but people *do* move. :) I'm a Texas native myself, for example, though I seem to be stuck in California now.

[Hetty_Fauxvert]

Eek! Glad it was just small hail. It didn't hurt cars or anything, did it? It doesn't look quite large enough to have done real damage.

[silent_jonny]

(Kenny Wayne Shepard) Amen! That joker can play. If I remember correctly, that was a really horrible version and you could not hear KWS play at all which was a travesty.

It was horrible--Constantine, Jessica and Nadia trying to out-scream each other on "Walk This Way". Blech.

But KWS kicked ass! His riffs sounded equal to or better than the Aerosmith original.

Idol needs to bring him back this year to accompany the singers on stage during the competition. That would be awesome. And it would get the show back on track in a hurry, IMO.

[silent_jonny]

Constantine looks like the local pimp protecting his ho's from non-paying johns. ;-)

LOL! You've insulted pimps everywhere :)

[silent_jonny]

No Prince??? Damn. I wanted someone sing his classic song from the Batman soundtrack, "Batdance" LOL

[silent_jonny]

[Paula] said a man at the party grabbed her by the arm and threw her against a wall. She claimed to have a concussion and spinal injuries ...

after a heated discussion, the agent (Jim Lefkowitz) “accidentally-on-purpose bumped into her” so hard that Abdul ended up sprawled on the floor. Spencer (Paula's boyfriend) then rushed to Abdul’s defense and punched Lefkowitz in the face, our witness says.

Something odd about this.

How hard do you have to bump into Paula to knock her down? She weighs nothing and can barely stand up on a good day.

She told officers that she sought her own medical treatment

Yeah, I bet :)

[silent_jonny]

Here is a picture of the back end of the first supercell that moved over me at about the time I signed off before.

Geez--that looks ugly. Stay safe up there.

[silent_jonny]

See the dork in the hat?

LMAO! That's Mario's Sioux name, "Dork In The Hat" :-D
