Idol’s Final Twelve Announced, Michael Jackson Quotes Dickens and More

American Idol

  • 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.

“John Mayer should open for Ben Folds.”

“Agreed, besides no one that is a fan of his will know who Ben Folds is anyway, I would go and skip out on the headliner.”

You’re assuming all of John Mayer’s fans have no clue who Ben Folds is and have never heard his music. Go to any John Mayer show and you’ll find plenty of knowledgable music fans who are familiar with the work of Ben Folds, not just soccer moms and teeny-boppers…..gauranteed. John Mayer fans aren’t as stereotypical as you’re trying to make them.

I want to see an American Idol sponsored all-star song where Timbaland does the beats for John Popper and Britney Spears all bald-headed on vocals, screaming about the revolution and how they’re going to get assault rifles (and SUVs with intercoms and flashing lights) and take on the LAPD. Then Timbaland will be like “take it to the bridge” and break into a dance beat with a muffled audio recording of Michael Jackson jacking off on a little kid’s face. “Ewww this is nasty, Mr. Jackson!” - “No, don’t move… that’s ridiculous… ridiculous.” Then it goes into the chorus where Britney sings two lines of “It’s Funky Enough” by the D.O.C and then trails off and mumbles something incoherent while swallowing a bottle of Xanax. And THEN John Mayer and Ben Folds come on the track with a guitar/piano coda while John Popper has quick quadruple bypass surgery, stands up all bleeding everywhere and closes the track with a blistering harmonica solo. That would be ‘bonkers’… dawg.

Two points of concern:
1. Who the hell watches American Idol?
2. Who the hell says bonkers?

Forget about a K Fed reality show, what we need is one based on the Secret Life Of John Popper!
