Allison Iraheta, 17, was voted off of American Idol last night while Danny F*cking KareGokey remains. I'm beginning to re-think my nonchalant strategy and I'm strongly considering voting again to save my faves. This. Wasn't. Right. When I think about it, maybe Simon Cowell's comment to Adam Lambert, saying, "I think you may have just kept Allison in the competition" probably had viewers thinking that Allie was safe, so they didn't vote for her?!! People always think other people are voting for the talented ones and that's not always the case.

Also, Simon Cowell looked pretty furious that Allison was voted off because he realized that he wasted his "Judges Save" on that wannabe Justin Timberlake, not naming his name, don't feel like it.

I luvs Allison and I'm hoping that she will be the next Daughtry or even Jennifer Hudson. One does not need to win American Idol in order to have a very successful career. Go Allie!

I'm not really into new American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi. Personally, Kara and I would not get along. She would think that she's entitled to give me some stink eye, I would give her some stink eye right back plus a few eye rolls, and before you know it we'd be rolling around on the ground with each other's hair in our hands and mud wrestling.

Kara's a know it all loud mouth with a strong personality and a 'My way or the highway' attitude. There's only room for one HBIC up in my crew and that's me. However, Kara will return to American Idol next season with Simon Cowell, Paula Crazy, and Randy Jackson - that's a lot of ego on one panel! I'm so used to Kara already, I don't want her to go anywhere.

Tart-tongued judge Simon Cowell broke the news to Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, airing Tuesday.

"I think certainly next year everyone's going to be back," he said.

"Really?" DeGeneres asked.

"Yeah, absolutely," he said.

David Cook's brother Adam Cook, 37, was a source of inspiration and support for the seventh season American Idol winner. Adam could be found in the Idol crowd during any given televised performance, cheering for his brother. Adam was also a married father and lawyer.

David had cancelled two shows from his current tour to be with Adam. Sadly, after battling cancer for over ten years, Adam died on Saturday. David announced the news Sunday morning before the 12th annual Race for Hope 5K in Washington D.C. Adam was unable to be with his brother at the time of his passing.

Paula Abdul issued a statement. Paula's publicist said, 

"Adam Cook was a part of our extended American Idol family who supported his brother wholeheartedly, even through his own fight. My heart goes out not only to David, but his family as well." What Paula meant to say was "Throughout the rounds, Adam Cook would always cheer on his brother David, our American Idol. And although David won the competition, Adam has won our hearts! He is now a daisy that lives inside of a sunflower."

Simon Cowell said, "I was incredibly saddened to hear the news. I met Adam Cook a few times at American Idol. He was an incredible guy, and right now my thoughts are with David and his family."

My condolences go out to the Cook family. R.I.P.

Simon Cowell was under intense pressure and nagging via Paula Abdul's crazy and an overbearing Kara DioGuardi last night to keep Matt Giraud on American Idol. It was obvious that Simon didn't want Matt to be spared, but he gave in.

Matt has made American Idol history! Not only was Matt eliminated from the competition but brought back as a Wild Card before making it to the Top 13, he is the very first contestant to receive immunity from the "Judges Save Rule."

Matt received the least amount of votes this week, but that didn't matter because he will remain in the competition at least until next week.

Simon told Matt, “I don’t see that you have really any chance of winning" before he announced that he has good news and that the judges will keep Matt in the competition. Kara and Paula got on their feet and the audience erupted.

Next week is disco week and Matt and Lil Rounds will probably be sent packing.

Simon was pressured into this and the folks at votefortheworst.com can do some serious damage now that the judges save rule has been used. One of the strongest competitors can possibly receive the boot now, which would be hilarious!

During American Idol season, Simon Cowell flies back and forth to England four times every week.

“There is a point where I am not sure we can keep this schedule up. It takes longer and longer to make these shows because you have to put more into them, and I am not sure we can sustain me doing three shows…

“Most people do one show a year and I do three and they involve a lot of traveling. One may have to go... I like all of them. I can’t imagine not doing Britain’s Got Talent and I can’t imagine not doing X Factor. But I guess America is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end.”

Simon's got the magic touch, but I do think Idol could go on without him. Viewers could get accustomed to someone else; the new guy would just have to be completely brutal or completely gay. I nominate Clay Aiken.

It seems like Simon Cowell has been into displaying his chest since 1979. In these pics Simon is 19 and flaunting his chesticles like a proud gorilla. I really don't get it. We see him all the time wearing V-necks and unbuttoned shirts. Its like he thinks his moobs are full of splendor or something.

Simon Cowell's girlfriend Terri Seymour ended her six year relationship with the wealthy mogul over the phone!

Simon's rep, Max Clifford, said,

"Terri phoned Simon and finished it in September, about six weeks ago. They are going to remain close friends. Simon thinks the world of Terri and that isn't going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it."

Simon's rep wanted to dispel rumors that she dumped him because his boobs are bigger than hers. Nah, he wanted to let everyone know that no cheating was goin' on.

"In the past Terri has said that she wants kids but that just isn't Simon. Nobody else is involved, certainly not on Simon's side."

Terri wanted Simon to marry her and have kids so badly, I remember that she went on a hunger strike and Simon was laughing about it on the Howard Stern show.

Women do this time and time again. If he doesn't wanna have kids, you either leave or get knocked up on purpose! Don't wait around hoping your man will change his mind. Stop taking your birth control pills, start poppin' fertility drugs if you have to, or do like Terri, dump his ass on the phone. But it's better not to wait until six years later. I say 1.2 years is better.

People

Even though Simon Cowell can be a complete asshole most of the time he actually does have a heart and a little bit of emotions. Simon announced on Oprah Winfrey's Big Give show on Monday that he gave $162,000 to the family of 3 year old girl diagnosed with cancer. The family drives over 100 miles every day for their daughter, Madelaine, to receive treatment.

"It's a very basic story of a normal family whose daughter got very ill, and they had some financial problems which was relatively easy for me to sort out," Cowell explained to Extra. On the show, he told Winfrey that he "credits her" for teaching him to be a do-gooder. Said Cowell, "I never knew that doing good could feel so good."

"I couldn't hear what Chris had said. I was talking to Paula. My reaction was to what he had said previously, that singing nasally is a form of singing. When I watched the show back, I was horrified."

"Jennifer Hudson said American Idol was a 'stepping stone' for her. Stepping stone? It was her big opportunity to become noticed and she got noticed and she got Dreamgirls," Cowell said, noting that other past contestants "deliberately turn against the show that made them successful.

The reason (people) come on the show is because all the doors had been slammed in their face."

As for Taylor Hicks, who won season 5's competition, "They (Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson) loved him. I couldn't stand him. I didn't get it," Cowell snapped, adding that "at the end of the day you have to find a bona fide recording artist.

Just because you win the show doesn't mean you will sell a lot of records. Chris (Daughtry) is the one who sold the albums, not Taylor."
