American Idol Cooks Up Another Winner

Ms.Informed — Thu, 22 May 2008 12:50:43 +0000

Must really suck to be David Archuleta today. Last night’s American Idol finale served up another superstar, and it might not have been who you thought it would be. David Cook, the 25-year-old bar tender from Missouri took home top honors of this competition and will be awarded with a record contract and an SUV.

Although Cook said it best after the show:

“This show is a springboard, but it’s still a crapshoot.”

(Cue Taylor Hicks, Rubben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino and a slew of other “Idol Stars” who never really amounted to much in the music industry after the finale’s credits rolled.)

Paula’s little speech before the announcement of the winner made absolutely no sense. (”Just remember sometime’s we think its all about winning, but sometimes its the things we lose that remind us how truely special we are as people”…uhh….ok Paula.)

And Simon’s apology — Was it an attempt to save some face after practically declaring Archuleta the winner the night before, or, did Simon intentionally “verge on disrespecting” Cook in order to bring in the pity vote for Cook, thereby confirming Cowell’s earlier predictions on the Ellen show? Oh AI politics. The world may never know.

Either way, Ms. Informed is pleased with the results. While Archuleta was the stereotypical teen pop Idol, Cook is clearly more talented and more deserving of his AI title.

He took the YouTube world by storm with his “Leave Britney Alone” video. Now the psychopath formerly known as Chris Crocker has paid homage to Danity Kane in this train-wreck of a video….just couldn’t bring myself to look away, hard as I tried….

I pray to God he now does it for the publicity and attention and not because he actually thinks he’s talented. Or attractive. Or both.

Reunited, and It Feels So Good…

Break out your trading cards, action figures, pillowcases, binders and any other paraphenalia you may have.

It’s. Time.

Rumors have been circulating for a few months now, but it has been confirmed that 80′S teen music sensation the ~~Old Men~~ New Kids on the Block will be getting back together to release a new album and go on tour. The group, as LFO points out in its one-hit wonder “Summer Girls,” did, in fact, have a bunch of hits. Hopefully their success in the 80’s/early 90’s carries over for their reunion tour. If recent Spice Girl sucess from their reunion tour are any indication, NKOTB will go over huge.

NKOTB members consist of brothers Jordan and Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, Donnie Wahlberg and Danny Wood. Since the band parted ways in the 90’s, Donnie Wahlberg has went on to star in TV and movie roles, while Jordan and Joey each had solo albums. (Who could forget Jordon’s smash hit “Give It To You”? Gives a whole new meaning to carnivals.) Not too sure what Jonathan and Danny did….but Ms. Informed sure did have the Jonathan and Danny dolls back in the day…yup, true story.

“Brit”com is Must See TV

Britney Spears is making her way back into mainstream media, but not via the music industry. Rather, the pop princess will guest star on CBS’s sitcom How I Met Your Mother. It is not yet confirmed if it will be a one-time appearance or an ongoing role.

If nothing else, it’s gotta beat Britney & Kevin: Chaos. Although I still don’t think I’ll be tuning in for it, even for Doogie Houser’s sake.

Simon Says Yes to Botox, No to Viagra

Ms.Informed — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:39:45 +0000

While he may not like too many contestants on American Idol, no-fuss judge Simon Cowell does like one thing: Botox. Cowell admitted to British media sources that to him, Botox is “no more unusual than toothpaste.”

“It works, you do it once a year – who cares?”

I hope this doesn’t mean he brushes his teeth that infrequently.

The judge, 48, also admitted to putting lifts in his shoes to make him appear taller on camera.

Can we say mid life?????

But even though he’s pushing the big 5-0, one area of his life that doesn’t need any improvements: his sex life. Or at least one would think, as Cowell (highly insulted) turned down a $2 million dollar contract to be the “face” of Viagra last year.
