This week there are seven contestants left in the AI bunch. Last week offered the shocking removal of Michael Johns from the pack. This was disappointed because he was far more talented than some of the others that have been left on the stage to continue to compete. Tonight, the remaining seven will be singing Mariah Carey songs.

Ryan Seacrest mentioned that everyone was still shocked by Michael Johns leaving and the crowd booed. Obviously they were as disappointed with his removal as I was. He mentioned it just to remind everyone how important it was to vote. I have to admit, this reminded me of when Daughtry was kicked. Now he’s one of the best selling Idols in history. I think Michael Johns will end up meeting a similar fate and I definitely look forward to getting my hands on a CD with his name on it.

When Seacrest announced the judges, they went through the line, one by one, as always. Randy was shown in a shirt we’ve seen before, Paula was looking perky in purple, and Simon was doing his natural thing. I have to admit, I have been looking forward to this week. Due to the fact that there are so many men in the competition, I imagined that it would be quite amusing to see what they did with these songs.

Mariah just managed to be scheduled the week of her CD release E=Mc2. She mentioned that she didn’t like judging people and told the Idols to look at her like she was just a new friend. Yeah, that shouldn’t be a problem, at all. Randy says that he hopes they do not try to sound like Mariah tonight. Paula deffered to Randy’s comment. Simon said tonight is make or break for Randy.

Ashtyn is definitely the casual gamer in the family. A game fan since she owned an Atari, Ashtyn can remember when her brother rigged the television so he wouldn’t lose his Super Mario Bros. game. That is, until the power went out! A fan of all things Mario, Ashtyn is a Nintendo loyalist. She digs playing Mario-style RPG games, watching others play violent shooters (because she sucks at them), and playing casual PC games (like Wedding Dash and Cake Mania). As of now, she is into the Wii and Nintendo DS, though she’s certain the games for PS3 and Xbox 360 are more appealing.

When I think of becoming Paris (Crotch Rocket) Hilton’s best friend it makes me want to vomit a little in my mouth. Once I’ve cleaned that up, I have to consider how many other things I would rather have happen to me instead. For example, I would rather be anally invaded by the nose of a jet than have to be seen with Hilton.

However, the idea that there is going to be an entire show around this concept just frightens me. In some ways it makes me laugh. I Wanna Be Paris’ New Best Friend! will premiere on MTV. According to the page “Paris is looking for a new pal….and she’s got her eye on you! Sign up as a hopeful and you could be living the life with the posh princess herself!”

Rather than laugh at the irony that someone so in love with herself has to stoop to reality television to find a friend, let’s instead look at the top contenders in the competition thus far.

Number 5: Chuck Love
He’s a 23 year old from Philly. He lists his similarities to Paris as being, “First I enjoy being in the public eye. Next, I am approached to take pictures with random people on a daily basis. Finally, I love to have fun and party.” He’s also 3 ½ feet tall. She might like this fact though. We’ve all heard how she treats little people and animals. Maybe she would ask to carry him in her purse during events where she couldn’t bring her dog.

Ryan introduced the final eight ladies tonight and with a nod to the judges he would be about ready to start the show. It’s the top 16 this week, which means tonight is the top 8 women and the last week before things become co-ed. When he introduced the judges it appeared that everyone was ready to get things moving.

Randy was pimpin’ in a v-neck and a white t-shirt. He said the guys were hot so the girls better bring it. Paula looked like her usual, drunk self in a designer shirt, with a funky weave bun. Paula said she hopes the girls pick the right song. The hair of the 80s was cool. Simon looked like his normal self in a black t-shirt. He said no one is safe.

Like last night for the guys, tonight’s theme was 80s music. Each contestant had to tell about their most embarrassing moment.

Up first was Asia’h Epperson. Her embarrassing story involved her being an extra on a movie. Basically, she had to roller skate, and she hadn’t in a long time. So, she ran into the set light and fell on her butt. They had to break because she messed up the light.

What she sang: “I Wanna Dance with Somebody”

What she wore: A pink tank top (silk) and some purple pants - her hair looks cute and she had jewelry on

How she sounded: She isn’t Whitney. She has a nice voice, but the song is too big for her. Still, she wasn’t horrible. She can sing. It’s hard to compare to Whitney, especially when doing the song just like Whitney did. Overall, not as bad as the start to last night.

The results show wasn’t too exciting tonight. Like most people, I really only watch to see who would get kicked off. After what seemed like a year of watching the recaps for the guy performances and listening to stupid comments by Paula about colors, we finally got down to some results.

Garrett was the first to be going home. When they announced it Danny was shown looking in the camera with absolute fear. I don’t know what he’s worried about though. Being that he is Vote for the Worst’s poster boy, he should be fine. Garrett sang the song he sang from the other day. He’s not horrible he’s just not as good or as memorable as some of the others at this stage.

After a break, they decided to send one of the girls home. They showed the performances of the ladies just like they did with the men before. After this they will be sending home another male and female from the bunch. This time around Kristy was called up though it was a distraction. Vote for the Worst’s female favorite, Amy Davis was the first to be voted off. Looks like the guys over there will have to hook up with a new female for the masses to vote for next week.

Tonight the top 12 women of American Idol’s Top 24 were performing for the first time on the AI stage. After showing a brief “reminder” of how it all went down (aka how they made it to the Top 24), it was time for the women to hit the stage. This is a recap of what they sang, how they looked, and how they did. Predictions of who should be (and will be) cut are included.

Ryan started the show off by rambling about how bad this cold and flu season is and how some of the girls are actually sick, but planning to try and do their best.

The Judges: Randy was his normal self in a trendy bling-wear sweater ensemble. Paula wore an outfit that was black and white. It was fairly plain for her, but, as usual, Paula looked high, so it’s all good. Her advice for the show…brings the vocals. I can’t help but wonder if she thinks this is the chicken rodeo again. What else are they supposed to bring?! Meanwhile, Simon looked like always and mentioned that he loved when the crappy singers spar with him over his opinion.

According to Ryan, tonight’s songs, just like the night before, are all from the 60s.

Up first is Kristy Lee Cook. Kristy sold her horse to try out for AI. She is known for “Amazing Grace”, but not much else at this point. Tonight we will find out if she’s capable of more or will be leaving quickly.

What she wore: Gold tank top and jeans with some fashion rips and a belt. Her hair looked nice, but it wasn’t singing, so she doesn’t really get points for that.

What she sang: “Rescue Me”

I’d say third times the charm, but would anyone believe me? I doubt it especially with the husband she chose. Pamela Anderson has gone another step in proving why heterosexuals shouldn’t be allowed to marry by tying the knot with Rick Salomon.

You might remember Salomon as being the wretched prick that brought Paris Hilton into the limelight by making a porno with her. Now, after his huge porn career move, and a failed marriage to Brenda Walsh (Oh, what was her name again)…Shannon Dougherty, it’s on to Pamela “party like a rockstar (or at least sleep with them)” Anderson.

People Magazine reports that the couple tied the knot at the Mirage Hotel. Anderson’s kids and her family were present. However, the marriage was anything but conventional. Anderson got hitched in a 90 minute time frame between two shows she was doing. (more…)

Joe Simpson recently told the world that his fugly little daughter, Ashlee “Lippy” Simpson had a nose job. It’s nice of him to tell the world. What did he think people couldn’t realize the bitch had an ugly face one day and a still ugly but considerably harder, more plastic look the next?

Joe told Fox News, “[The] girls have their own ideas. Anyway, there was a real problem with her breathing and that was cured.”
It’s seriously hard to imagine she had a breathing problem because of her nose. Considering how big it was, the only she couldn’t have used it to breathe was if something stuck up that big thing.

He went on to talk about their love lives saying, “I don’t tell my girls who to date or marry or what to do.” He even spoke specifically about Jess and Nick, “I have nothing against Nick. But they got married very young. I told Jessica, ‘You’re going to hit an age when it’s all going to be clear to you — life that is — and you’ll know what you want to do.’”

Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay may be a husband and a father to four kids, but he admits that he is anything but a traditional family man. The incredibly busy chef who just debuted his new show to Fox, Kitchen Nightmares has four children, Megan (8), Jack and Holly (7 year old twins), and Matilda (5). Ramsay credits his wife for raising the kids and keeping the house in order.

“The time I have with the family is little. But it’s quality. I’ve never been one to be home, I’ve never been a hands-on dad. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but you can’t run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies. “
