Y Kant Fantasia Read?

In a perfect blend of PR, Fantasia is set to appear on 20/20 tonight to talk about her life and her new book.



It turns out that Fantasia is illiterate...and has written a book about it...


Um...I don't think I really need to write something witty here...Fantasia's kind of done that for me...eh?

Attack of the Clones!

Mikalah Gordon shows up the WB's hit sitcom "Living with Fran" tonight.

AH! Make it stop!

I Hate Him Like Poison!

Um...THIS is just frightening.


Constantine Maroulis, who battled for the American Idol crown last season, isn't through with television just yet: The New York rocker has just signed a deal to star in an ABC sitcom produced by Kelsey Grammer's company, he tells PEOPLE in its latest issue.

The singer won a devoted following last season – among them Pulp Fiction director Quentin Tarantino. At a party in L.A. in June, Maroulis says Tarantino "kept saying I was going to be a big star. He was like, "You sucked in the last song, but that's okay. You sang it great the night you went home."


What is WRONG with Hollywood?

I gotta move.

I gotta get out of a place that gives a development deal to the worst idol contestant ever!


And apparently I now hate Quentin Tarantino.

Just Jasmine!

Remember this Idol beotch?



Well...it turns out Miss Jasmine has released an album with a "edgier, rhythm and blues-based sound."

According to her official online diary...Jasmine's song, "Excuses," went to #3 in the Philippines!


Visit Jasmine's official website to listen to samples of Jasmine singing such future surefire hits as "DJ Don't Quit" and "I Still Luv U" and "Sexy Boy."


Although now that I think about it...I would highly recommend not clicking on the above link, unless you enjoy feeling slightly uneasy.

I wasn't Jasmine's "biggest fan," but still...I am VERY uncomfortable with the sexing up of the cutesy little girl that used to wear a flower behind her ear during every Idol performance! I don't want to hear Jasmine talk about sexy boys...sexy girls...really sexy anything! Leave that to the Idol Ho!

Frankly, Jasmine should have taken a page out of the Hoku Ho handbook and stuck to singing songs about burritos and God.

Have the Claymates gone TOO far?

I really don't know what to do with this...

And his name was...

According to Canada, Bo Bice's new son has been named "Aiden Bice," which is super disappointing since I was hoping that Bo would name his son some awesome rocker name like "Jani" or "Axl" or "Kelly Clarkson."

It's a Bo!!!

Bo Bice's spouse just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy!

No word yet on whether Bo's Boy and Sean Preston Spears Federline have penciled in a play date at "The Ivy's Romper Room."

John Stevens is the NEW Michael Buble?

I was at Amoeba records today...and you'll never guess what CD I found in the $2.99 bin...



For some inexplicable reason, the CD was calling my name...so I sucked up my pride, walked up to one of the Amoeba hipster cashiers, and bought a copy.

I seriously don't know what the good people over at Maverick Records were thinking by releasing this album.

Words cannot describe this disastrope, so I'm going to let the CD insert pictures do all the talkin'.



I know the red headed one is desperately trying to look retro cool, but it just ain't working for him. It's just looks like he's on the set of that 1960's Disney classic, "The Parent Trap."

And then, there is this picture...



I...uh...what? who? I...I just don't know what to do with this. It looks like he's constipated...or on Lithium...or something...

Oy.


My mother (and Thumper) always said that "if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all," so...I'm not even going to mention his lounge style cover of Maroon 5's "This Love" OR his duet with the Scientologist that starred in Swimfan...



Seriously though...this impulse buy was definitely 3 dollars well spent.

Idol-less in LA

So...today, my coworkers and I ended up going to the awesomely delicious Wild Oats Cafe to pickup lunch.

You'll never guess who was there...




That's right! That blurry round thing in the middle of the picture is the one and only Mister CLAY AIKEN!





For those that want to know, Clay was lunching with a thirtysomething ladyfriend. He was eating a tuna fish sandwich with a side of fruit. The Idol 2 runner-up was looking very dapper in a bright blue button down shirt and very fashionable black manboots.

My boss tried to convince me to go over and ask if I could get my picture taken with him, but I was entirely too nervous. My stomach dropped...my head started spinning...I nearly passed out from the adrenaline rush...

Ok, not really.

Seriously.

I was totally fine.


I only sweated a little.


As I was in the midst of picture texting all the homos I know, the Aiken got up and left...leaving me Idol-less in LA.

Guess Who's Coming to Oprah?

Hmmm...i wonder...



I'll give you a hint...it's the girl on the left!


That's right...this Friday...the oh so fresh and oh so clean Miss Kelly Clarkson is appearing on the OPRAH!!!

Latoya Loves Life!

Look who just dropped her debut album!



I appreciate you Latoya! I appreciate you!

Romeo & Tamyra

Those are some nice H & M jeans, Miss Tamyra. Nice jeans!

Kelly Clarkson is the NEW ____!

On the surprisingly funny new FOX sitcom "The War at Home" (yes, I know...I can't believe I watched an entire episode either), a character essentially comes out of the closet...because he like the Clarkson.

The bit goes like this...

Kenny asks his friend Larry (who is wearing his mother's blouse and a blonde wig) if he wants to come over, because he "just go the new Kelly Clarkson CD."

Larry wrinkles his face in disgust and says, "You are SO gay sometimes."

The show then cuts to a confessional where Kenny looks directly into the camera and asks the audience, "He was just kidding...right? He doesn't know...does he?"


Hi...Kelly Clarkson is the NEW Cher!

Uh...

I'm still unsure of what to think of this.

worst. idea. ever.

SERIOUSLY?

It's for charity!

Question: What was the winning bid on the chance to spend a night with Kathy Griffin and her gays at the Kelly Clarkson concert in Las Vegas?



Answer: $6,900 (AND it's for charity!)

Bo Bice is back...ALL RIGHT!

The Idol 4 resident rocker is returning to the Idol tour!

Jim Verraros is REAL GAY y'all!

TIVO ALERT!!!

The new gay tv channel LOGO is going to be airing a new gay reality star special, entitled "Real Gay."

And guess which openly gay Idol contestant is being featured???



Oh wait...there is only one...



That's my Verraros!



The special airs Sunday night, September 11th at 9pm EST.

It's all very exciting!!!

worst. fashion police caption. ever.

The wicked cool Zak just sent me these scans of Miss Clarkson's latest apperance in US Weekly's Fashion Police layout:





The caption reads, "Someone should help her Breakaway from this look!"

REALLY? Is that the BEST the wise minds over at US Weekly could come up with? And of all of the terrible outfits that Kelly wears...THIS is the outfit they choose to make fun of?
