Music from the Rolling Stones next week on the American Idol 9 Top 12…

I’m grinding my teeth just thinking about this.

I’ve never watched Ferguson’s show but I must say his Twitter page is keeping me entertained.

Wondering where the Idols ranked on this week’s Billboard 200? Wonder no more!

4 My Best Days, Danny Gokey
28 Play On, Carrie Underwood
35 leave this town, daughtry
49 For Your Entertainment, Adam Lambert
92 Kris Allen, Kris Allen
151 daughtry, daughtry
161 Some Hearts, Carrie Underwood

As expected, Allison Iraheta fell off the chart after last week’s re-entry.

Push has finally come to shove:

Season 9 really gets going Thursday night when the top 12 are announced. Two guys and two girls will be served their walking papers, leaving behind a world of possibilities and taking with them stories they’ll one day tell their grandchildren.

Who’s looking at a one-way ticket back home? Performance-wise, we’d put money on Paige Myles and Aaron Kelly, with Katelyn Epperly and former front-runners Katie Stevens and Andrew Garcia treading on dangerous ground.

I say we send them all home, with the possible exception of dread chick and the big dude who had the pimp spot, and start over.

Start over?

Haven’t we suffered enough already? This is the 9th week! There are only 20 weeks in the entire Idol season!

“There are only 20 weeks in the entire Idol season!”

For which I am grateful.

For a film-lover who makes a point of not missing the trailers (me), this is just brilliant:

Kac, I’ve watched the first two episodes of Chuck. Thus far it does not suck. Thanks.

For the resident closeted fangirls. And you know who you are….

This guy better put out really good music because otherwise it seems to me he is burning every bridge he can find and will end up replacing Taylor Hicks out on the Grease tour.

Just posting. I have no opinion. Really. Well. Maybe.

Talk about a nightmare…I went to Best Buy today because my headphones died after 14 months (to the day!) and while I was waiting in line to check out, they started playing Katharine’s craptastic “Had It All.”

Luckily, I hadn’t eaten.

On the up side, you had the opportunity to test your new noise cancellation headphones before you bought them.

I am so not invested in Season 9, but pass the fucking rake, I got teary eyed when Alex Lambert was eliminated.

I survived.

It was a harrowing experience, but it could have been worse…it could have been the wanker.

It must be a trend. I planned on watching Community this evening – a show which I’ve been enjoying a great deal – but alas, McTata herself will be gracing the show. *gag* I think I might pass on tonight’s episode, or I’ll watch it for the snark value.
