Totally agree.
Agreed. They’ll do anything for ratings!
I agree that it was genuine, too. IMO, everything just hit her all at once. You could see she was fighting it for a while (hand on the chest).
Seacrest is a tool. He was just trying to get the heat off of himself and took a little incident and made himself look like the shining knight who saved the day.
But I think it will be:
But I'll be just as happy if Big Mike makes the bottom 3!
Just getting my tardy notice in early, I have to teach religious ed to the tweens. I believe this falls under the "acceptable excuses".
RK will probably come up with the "I was at Cosco" excuse again.
I heard Lee on the radio on a morning show review he sounded good - I am so sick of that song though...oldie but not goodie for me.
I didn't hear Casey at all ---what did he sing?
I hope MIKE or SHiBong go home! sick of them both
HEY! You can get 18 1 liter bottles of water for $4 there! Hot dogs as big as your arm for $1!
As if that wasn't enough- there are surly ladies handing out FREE FOOD at the end of every aisle! And sometime times there are people demonstrating blenders and handing out free smoothies or the Nutz on Clark people are there giving out free nuts!
But I don't have to go tonight. I do have to go to Petsmart, though. It's not nearly as exciting there. Unless 40 pounds of Tidy Cat for $9 really gets you going. :-D
Well I could use some tidy cat too. Get me the large size.
On Drudgereport:
“Idol Gives Back—to pro-abortion groups.”
If true, I’m outta here!
Big Mike gets bigger every week. I swear he’s gained at least 50 pounds since the season began.
He doesn’t work for a living. Who pays for his food?
Jonny, not sure Lil and I will make it this evening....can only take so much of “gives back”.
It is true.... this Beg A Thon is for everything but unborn babies!! (rant off)
From the article linked on DRUDGE:
It is laudable that the people involved with ‘American Idol’ want to help the poor,” said LDI President Douglas R. Scott, Jr. “But it is tragic that they would choose to do so through groups like the Save the Children and the United Nations Foundation. These groups have far too much deadly baggage.” Of course, what many people do not know, because “American Idol” has not chosen to mention it, is that Simon Cowell is the chief executive officer of International Save the Children. This is surely why Save the Children was selected as a recipient charity.
“’American Idol’ should stop using the contestants to raise money for groups when they are keeping the activities of these charities a secret,” Scott said. “’American Idol’ should practice full disclosure and give those contestants who may wish to decline participation in ‘Idol Gives Back’ the opportunity to do so without repercussions.”
“If you believe the plight of preborn children is as important as the plight of the poor, do not participate in ‘Idol Gives Back,’” Scott urged. “We are caring people who want to do our part to help those less fortunate, but we will do so through organizations that do not view the killing of human beings as a ‘solution’ to poverty and other adult-created problems.”
It is worth noting that “American Idol” recently supported a fund-raising campaign by Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles.
I MAY choose to watch the show and make snarky comments on the thread...but I shall NOT be donating anything to thie Beg A Thon.........(But I dont want to miss seeing all of you :-) I skipped out last night...thinking it was BEG night, but I am in silent_jonny and AI thread withdrawl, so plan to be here later tonight.....
