do you think Carrie is starting to copy some of the Gherkin's dumb act?

Carrie strikes me as a normal girl with very little pretensions. She comes from an intact family and has a strong mother and father figure at home. And note to you NRA supporters out there -- HER FATHER OWNS A SHOTGUN ( and Carrie told a story of how her first date was so nervous when he saw the dad holding it, he never ask her out again ). As of today, even after selling close to 2.8 Million copies of her first album, Carrie has remained down to earth and humble.

Kellie comes from a broken home and her background tells me indirectly she BADLY wants to get out of her rut and make a name for herself. And almost every article I read about her tells me that the image she tries to project on TV ( naive, sweet, girl who is a filial grandaughter to her grandpa and who still loves her dad ), does not quite play out in real life.

Almost every single person I know in Hollywood (and my cousin works there ) tells me that she has this prima donna attitude towards those serving the Idols. Workers tell others that she insists on being treated like Royalty.

Others tell us that she has told several white lies about her background ( from never performing before large crowds, to not having any music experience ).

Also, her story about being a "deprived" girl does not seem to pan out in real life. There is a story that says her grandpa bought her a new car at age 16.

There are famous women who are like this with very similar background, where sudden fame gets to their heads. Two famous ones I can think of are -- Evita Peron and Imelda Marcos.

I hope all of these stories are just rumors, but I'm getting a little wary of her.

Talent wise -- she has the more beguiling public personality than Carrie, I'll concede that. But in terms of vocal chops, Carrie trumps her by miles. NO QUESTIONS IN MY MIND.

Carrie strikes me as a normal girl with very little pretensions...etc.

Sir Links, I posted the item about Carrie's driving and JOKINGLY asked Jonny the question "You think Carrie is starting to copy some of the Gherkin's dumb act?"

To me, the Gherkin is attempting to be a Carrie clone, only Pickler is nowhere near as talented or pretty as Carrie.

MORE SPECULATION AND RUMORS FROM THE USUAL AMERICAN IDOL BOARDS SUSPECTS...

Speculation around Chris's song choice has him singing "Making Memories of Us" Written by Rodney Crowell and performed by Rodney Crowell--from a project called the "Cherry Bombs". Keith Urban also recorded a well-known version. Chris apparently sang this song at his wedding.

That's all for now folks, only 4 hours to go before we find out...
