We had a Seuss exhibit here at the San Diego Museum of Art years ago.
They made a HUGE cut out of The Cat in the Hat to peek up over the beautiful
museum building in Balboa Park. Unforgettable.

His least successful effort was “McElligot’s Pool”, a beautifully illustrated, painterly book
which failed because it wasn’t his usual heavily outlined style.
He said kids by far prefer a pen-and-ink, linear look with color filled in.
At least in his experience. He was actually a pretty good painter.

When we first moved here, I commented on the silly looking “Dr. Seuss trees”
all over San Diego (taaaalllll, skinny palm trees with a teeny scrub of fronds on top,)
not realizing that Theodore Geisel was from in La Jolla (north SD county) and really DID get his tree inspirations from the flora and fauna right here!

Never heard of that book.

Mariah Carey to Guest Judge ‘American Idol’

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,338301,00.html

Mariah Carey is coming to “American Idol.” The best-selling female pop star of the last two decades will show those kids how it’s done, no doubt, and maybe even comment on some of that singing (although, to this ear, Amanda Overmyer already knows what to do).

Mariah’s “AI” appearance is part two of her well-constructed campaign to promote her new CD, “E=MC2,” which hits stores on April 15. Mariah will appear on “AI” on April 16.

KELLIE PICKLER RETURNS TO “AMERICAN IDOL” TO PERFORM WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19, ON FOX

http://www.celebrityspider.com/news/march08/article031808-6.html

Season Five finalist Kellie Pickler returns to the AMERICAN IDOL stage, to perform her hit single, “Red High Heels,” Wednesday, March 19 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.

After competing on AMERICAN IDOL, Pickler signed with 19 Recordings/BNA Records, and soon thereafter released her debut album, “Small Town Girl.” The album quickly became the best-selling debut by a solo country artist that year and was certified gold in January 2007.

Pickler was recently nominated for Top New Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music, and earned her first Country Music Association nomination last fall. Her singles, “I Wonder” and “Red High Heels,” were both Top 15 hits, and her third single, “Things That Never Cross A Man’s Mind,” is currently in the Top 20. Pickler is currently on tour with Rascal Flatts.

Kelly Clarkson Goes Commando 3/18/08

http://www.celebrityspider.com/news/march08/article031708-15.html

Kelly Clarkson fears she’ll be the next celebrity caught in a knickerless photo controversy - because she always goes ‘commando’.

The singer claims she hates wearing underwear and refused to wear panties throughout the entire run of American Idol, because it gave her good luck.

She says, “Why’d anyone want a little thing up their butt when they can go free?”

---

I have to confess. When I read the headline, I had no idea what they meant. Learn something new every day.

It seems like if you didn’t wear underwear then your pants would go up your butt.

ew

TMI

I do not like them here or there
I do not like their underwear
I do not like to hear they’re bare
I do not like them anywhere
I do not like those nekkid views
all plastered on the evening news
I do not like the Britneybots
exposing everything they gots

I think it’s annoying enough that someone will will probably advise him to stop doing that. It’ll be interesting to see if he tries not to do it and if that throws him off. Last week’s performance suggests he may not be as steady a performer as I thought.

b9, that's great! :)

I know it's TMI, but the illogic of it bugged me.

Spoiler from MJsBigBlog.com

Super-duper-awesome gal on the scene, Caffiend, attended the Top 11 Performance rehersal tonight! She got us some some spoilers!

This is the order, more or less. There might be a few I’ll need to switch in the middle. She says the show was “fabulous” tonight. Everyone was really good. Syesha was the weakest. If she goes this week, we’ll have a fantastic Top 10, she says.

Thanks for the scoop, Caffiend!

Amanda Overmyer - “Back in the Ussr”
Kristy Lee Cook - “You’ve Got To Hide Your Love Away”
David Archuleta - “Long and Winding Road” - Mocked himself a little in his video.
Michael Johns - “A Day in the Life” - Fabulous, changed it up a bit.
David Cook - “Day Tripper” - Peter Frampton style with Vox box
Brooke White - “Here Comes the Sun” No piano or guitar - Danced a little. Really good.
Carly Smithson - “Blackbird” - “Blew me away.” Nailed it–tears.
Jason Castro - “Michelle” - Beautiful. No guitar. Great audience interaction.
Syesha Mercado - “Yesterday” - Overdid it.
Chikezie - “I’ve Just Seen A Face” - Changed it up again. Pulled out a harmonica.
Ramiele Malubay - “I Should Have Known Better”
