- Big shocker last night on American Idol as Sundance “I’m annoying but the judges love me” Head was sent home. At least we finally got rid of Antonella Barba, though we’re still stuck with Sanjaya Malakar. The other eleven finalists are: Blake Lewis, LaKisha Jones, Chris Sligh, Jordin Sparks, Phil Stacey, Melinda Doolittle, Brandon Rogers, Gina Glocksen, Chris Richardson, Stephanie Edwards, and Haley Scarnato. Of course we all know that it’s going to come down to LaKisha Jones vs Melinda Doolittle, but it’s fun to watch the other contestants try.
- Michael Jackson’s party went over relatively well yesterday, as the underprivileged (orphans etc) and the over-privileged (ticket-buying fans) mingled with the pop star and listened to him deliver a speech in which he thanked his fans and said he has no career regrets. “I’ve been in the entertainment industry since I was 6 years old,” he apparently said. “As Charles Dickens says, `It’s been the best of times, the worst of times.’ But I would not change my career.”
- Ben Folds will join John Mayer as the opening act on Mayer’s summer tour. Get out your khaki shorts now, just so you’re ready.
- It’s okay! The veritable arsenal of violence-exacting tools John Popper had stored in secret compartments in his Mercedes are all legal, his manager explains. Oh, and those flashing siren lights and intercom system Popper had installed on his SUV? There’s a good reason for that too. Popper apparently “indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because (in the event of a natural disaster) he didn’t want to be left behind.” The dude is bonkers.
- We knew K Fed would get back to his natural state of douchebaggery eventually. The recovering almost rapper turned father of the year thanks to his former wife’s extremely public meltdown, is apparently pitching a new reality show based on his life as a hero/single dad. Just what those kids need while dealing with regular visits to mommy in rehab.
