American Idol Might Be Fixed

Although American Idol prides itself being able to pluck a singer out of obscurity and make them a star through weekly competition, it turns out this year's winners may have already been secretly chosen by the show's producers. Oh, my! How scandalous! New York Daily News reports: 
The female "AI" worker told a “group of people that the last four are going to be Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace," said our insider. Asked if this was opinion or actual fact, the staffer vehemently retorted, "Those ARE the people," saying it wasn’t mere speculation. If it was just her prediction, she’d be spot-on with this week’s TV Guide, which also chose those exact four wanna-be crooners as its picks for stardom. But the lass took it a step further, claiming that higher-ups at the hit Fox show were taking an issue with two of the top contenders. “Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds are better singers and musicians than Gokey and Grace, but they’re too much like past winners and 'A' successes," the woman said. "Adam’s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry, while Lil Rounds is a dead ringer for Fantasia. Even their background stories are similar! "The producers really want it to be Danny or Alexis. They think they’re very commercially viable, have a good image and a great story."
I don't know, I'm kinda not buying this. If they're so worried about image, why did Kelly Clarkson win? Her image should be on breakfast 
sausages not album covers.

The Emmys Are a Waste of Broadcast Time


The Emmy's came and went the other night, and I could care less. Here's why-

With a real stand up group of hosts, Ryan Seacrest, Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst from Survivor, Heidi Klum, and that annoying ass who replaced Saget on America’s Funniest Home Videos it was sure to be comic gold. The casting director juuust may have cruised down Rodeo Drive and picked up any burned out D-listers that happened to get in the way. - And don't even get me started on Ryan Seacrest. He is everything that is wrong with today's world, his inane banter, lame smile, dry quips, and empty eyes remind me if the absolute cultural vacuum we exist in today.

Anyway, the Emmy's blew again to no one's surprise. The award show had one of its smallest audiences ever recorded on national television. Honestly, there are so many categories they might as well hand out trophies at the door.
*mimics mastabatory hand montion- ehhhhhh*
