I was actually live blogging during American Idol. I have a post saved as a draft, but I couldn’t bring myself to post it. That was mostly a result of how bored I was during large segments of last night’s American Idol finale. But thank God for Paula Abdul. I love my dancing, bawling crackhead bitch!
* I’ll be posting performance videos later today.
David Cook is the newest American Idol!
The 25-year-old bartender from Blue Springs, Mo., became the seventh American Idol Wednesday in front more than 7,000 screaming fans at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre.
“I started this season — much to Simon’s chagrin — as the word nerd and I’m absolutely at a loss for words,” Cook told the crowd after hearing the news, referring to his love of vocabulary, which was highlighted in one of his earliest moments on the show. “Thank you guys. This is amazing. Thank you.”
After Ryan Seacrest broke the news, Cook fought back tears as reality set in, but he took a moment to congratulate his final competitor, 17-year-old David Archuleta, of Murray, Utah. The two Davids hugged, and Archuleta raised his arm in congratulations to the season’s winner.
During Tuesday’s performance show, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson said that Archuleta clearly won the night. But last week, Cowell predicted that Cook would take the title. “He’s done more to deserve it over the eleven weeks,” Cowell said. “He’s taken more risks, he’s done things with certain songs that have been more interesting.”
Fantasia does a bang up job, leaving Simon Cowell at a loss for words while watching Fantasia’s disaster of a performance.
See what happens when you take a baby mama out the hood and give her some funds? She dyes her hair pink, won’t spend money to remove her braces, gains weight and bounces around stage like she won the lottery so she can pay her pimp then take her girls to buffet.
Fantasia, you sucked ass and feet but I still luv ya, hun. Do you!
A guy who once tried to get onto “American Idol” by comparing himself to Clay Aiken just got nabbed for sending sex-laced text messages to a 12-year-old boy and propositioning a ten-year-old while volunteering at a Brooklyn elementary school.
Colin Leahy, who’s 23 and auditioned on season three of “AI,” was arrested by Brooklyn cops yesterday and charged with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. He was arraigned and released on his own recognizance, the DA tells TMZ.
WTF was Paula Abdul on during her critique of Jason Castro’s song last night? Pill poppin’ Paula gave Jason critiques on two songs when he had only sang one. Things were switched up last night on Idol with each person singing two songs each but the judges didn’t get to critique until all contestants finished their first song. She said she wasn’t used to having to write things down fast enough and that’s what got her confused.
I don’t believe that crap at all. Paula was seen earlier that day leaving Maggiano’s and sources say she had at least one martini while she was there. Paula obviously had a lot more than one drink before the Idol show last night! She sounds like she popped a couple Xanax or Vicodin!
“Some days I step out of the shower, put my lotion on, and I’ll be like ‘Ugh, ew, ew.’ I’m OCD like that,”
How can you not like Carrie Underwood? She always seems so down to earth and genuine. She’s one of the realest female celebs out there, and talented and so hot. She doesn’t hide that she’s been cheated on, eats junk food when she’s down, and has to pay close attention to what she eats - more InStyle excerpts. Carrie’s a great role model!
