Hey Y'all! Hope you are all having a great Memorial Day Weekend!!

Just a reminder that Rocker David and perhaps more Idols will be on Larry King Live tonight - 9pE/8pC.

Cookie gets some nookie!

K says - we might have said Cookie gets lucky...but how do we know what a date with Kimberly Caldwell would be like? Click on the title of this post for all the video dirt from TMZ!!

Apparently Rocker D asked Miss Kim out the other night on live TV and according to TMZ - he made good on the offer and they went out on a dinner date.

Those crazy Idols!!

Idol Fun Continues!

Hey fellow Tasters'! The powers that be don't want us to go into Idol withdrawal too quickly - so there a LOTS of options for continued Idol coverage on TV this week. Here is just a small sample of things you might not want to miss:


1. Fox Reality TV - Not sure if this channel is available everywhere - but, if it is check it out. There is a finale after-show called "American Idol- Extra" which is hosted by J.D. Roberto. He does a great job and you can see some fun interviews with both Davids along with all the other Idols. To find out if it is in your area - the website is: www.foxreality.com

2. TV Guide Channel - "Idol Tonight" hosted by Justin Guarini, Rosana "Chana" Tavares, and the always spunky Kimberly Caldwell. We are currently watching their recap of the finale -and it will probably run all weekend. Interviews are with David Hernandez, Carly, The Hotness, and various others from the Top 12, the vocal coaches, red carpet folks, etc. Also, a highlight of this show - was a new all acoustic song by Justin! Wow! it was REALLY good :)

Not So Cute

I know Jason Castro is better known around here as The Cuteness, but after I saw this last night, I wondered what y'all thought about it: here's Brooke, crying her eyes out as she struggles to push through what must have been a painful, poignant last song on Idol, and Castro's grinning like a damn Cheshire Cat.

The Top 4 Curse: Will It Continue?

I know, I know, we are just in the Top 5, but Rubbertoe's previous post with the inclusion of the name Jasmine Trias made me think of the American Idol Top 4 curse. Then, I really started thinking about it . . . The Top 4 curse has only happened every other year.




In American Idol 1, Tamyra Gray was booted in the Top 4 before her rightful place in the finals. The Kelly & Tamyra finale seemed a foregone conclusion. This upset left Justin Guraini and Nikki Mckibbon to fight for runner up status to Kelly Clarkson.



In American Idol 3, Latoya London was unceremniously dumped in the Top 4 depriving her of her rightful place in the finals. Leaving Jasmine Trias and Diana DeGarmo to fight for runner-up status . . . though L & I might argue that Ms. DeGarmo performed well enough in that finale to pull an upset. . .



Finally, in AI 5, the now multi-million selling Chris Daughtry was booted in the Top 4 when, well pick from Taylor, Katharine, and Elliot, were left behind to fight it out for the crown. An aside: We all knew that Taylor was going to win at this point . . . in retrospect any, and I do mean ANY, of the other three would have been a preferential choice to Taylor - fun on stage, but I believe Idol's market cred took a hit. . .

I never really thought about it before, but the Top 4 curse has skipped a year, and only on odd years has reared it's ugly head. Now, we are heading towards the Top 4 in AI 7 . . . the curse is due to strike again. If it goes according to form one of the Davids will be at risk - as they are the two CLEAR frontrunners. What do y'all think? Will the Idol curse strike again?

Just curious . . .
