American Idol Tugs At Heart Strings, Raises $30 Million, And More

4/26/07, 9:13 am EST

  • In a prerecorded statement on American Idol’s telethon last night, Bono made his usual series of sanctimonious-but-still-somehow-okay-cuz-it’s-Bono statements about what we all need to do to be better people. “People say you can’t be the generation that ends brutal, stupid poverty, but we can and we will,” Bono said. Then no one got booted. But lots of money was raised for the kids so that’s cool.
  • Is it wrong to like Sanjaya a whole lot more now that we know his mom was some kind of stay at home drug dealer? Apparently the woman was arrested in 2005 for growing pot in her garage.
  • The White Stripes will be touring the United States and Canada this summer, and will celebrate their 10th Anniversary together as a band. Awesome.
  • This Princess Diana tribute concert is getting crazy. Kanye West and Rod Stewart have been added to the lineup of artists performing at the kinda creepy event on July 1st, which marks the 10th anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.
  • What is it with foreign countries hating on Snoop Dogg. First the UK decided to ban Snoop from entry and now he’s being kept out of Australia after failing to pass some kind of character test! WTF?
  • The Beastie Boys are releasing a new album in June, which they plan to call The Mix Up. According to Mike D the record will be a return to the band’s original sound. “We play instruments on the whole album, as opposed to sampling. There’s more rock on there,” he said. “It might make you flip your wig right off, or your hairpiece, if you’re a casual listener.”

fatty alert! | 4/26/2007, 9:49 am EST

Donkey | 4/26/2007, 9:50 am EST

Snoop Dogg is a tool

Snoop Dogg should be banned from breathing oxygen.

baba o riley | 4/26/2007, 10:18 am EST

snoop use to be cool as hell, but now he’s kind of a douche.

NATAS | 4/26/2007, 11:21 am EST

Snoop lost all respect from me after he was on The View and had Barbra Walters say “fo shizzle my nizzle”

Bodhi K | 4/26/2007, 11:23 am EST

Nobody has any love for Snoop Dogg?

NATAS | 4/26/2007, 11:26 am EST

Wow Kanye(biggest douche in the universe) and Rod Stewart(washed up) playing a show together, I bet princess Diana is glad she is dead for that show.

lik roper | 4/26/2007, 11:28 am EST

out of control defense spending = brutal, stupid poverty…

Hawkeye | 4/26/2007, 11:43 am EST

Someone actually cares about Souless Asylum? Everytime I hear that voice I RUSH to turn off the stereo. Snoop is still cool if you ask me, but seriously… if he thinks the rest of the world is going to ignore his no-contest pleads then he is really too stoned.

Tallboy | 4/26/2007, 12:01 pm EST

Clarkson is a fat pig.

STINKY | 4/26/2007, 12:10 pm EST

The beastie boys make me want to go out and eat gefilte fish. every time!

Nikkidoo | 4/26/2007, 12:54 pm EST

“My cat’s breath smells like cat food.”

Kirby Densen | 4/26/2007, 1:03 pm EST

Soul Asylum? I don’t see that anywhere in this round-up… Any way, Snoops cool. AI gives back was pretty damn good entertainment… provided you don’t mind crying for an hour and 1/2. And I wish the Beastie Boys would stop making “music” cause it hasn’t been that good since “Check ya head”… the following 3 were pretty much overrated. Anything else… oh yeah, Princess Diana Concert: That’s just stupid. No disrespect, but uh, why?

MichaelFL | 4/26/2007, 1:33 pm EST

Funny thing that Princess Di concert. They are holding it on what would have been Di’s 46 birthday, but it for the 10th anniversary of her death which is over a month later. At least it does not look like a half bad concert line up.

Kelly Clarkson was beautiful and she sings great. fatty alert needs to wake up and feel the music and not judge appearances, try to listen with your eyes closed at times.That might make you more beautiful.

Fredonia | 4/26/2007, 3:09 pm EST

NO ONW SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SANJAYAS MOTHER!!!! thats the funniest news ever…i was a total hippie to start off with and plus he lived in the hood..you can buy pot on ever corner in the hood ;)

Mario Kart | 4/26/2007, 3:15 pm EST

Matt Millen will probably draft Sanjaya

staindpearlygirl | 4/29/2007, 3:17 pm EST

I CAN UNDERSTAND AI CUTTING OUT PINK’S PERFORMANCE BUT C’MON GWEN STEFANI?? GWEN IS A PIMPSTRESS TO THE FULLEST AND MUSICALLY, IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE BEST SONGWRITERS IN THE BIZ. SHE IS WAAAY BETTER THAN KELLY CLARKSON AND YES KELLY DOD A GOOD JOB BUT I WOULD HAVE MUCH PREFERRED TO HEAR GWEN SING HER NEW SINGLE “4 IN THE MORNING”!
