With a really, really hard act to follow, the guys take the stage tonight….I doubt it’s cooled down from last night, though!
It’s ironic, last year I thought it was the men’s year – with Bo,Constantine, Nikko, Anwar, and Mario… I thought one of them would surely win. Frankly I didn’t think a female stood a chance. (Although I was proven wrong, I still think it should have been one of the guys! But, shhhh, don’t tell the Carrie fans…)
Well, this year, I think the girls are amazingly loaded with talent – I think there are about 6 different females who could win this thing….while I think there’s probably 4 of the guys that could.
Two of these guys have new websites I’d love for you to check out. They’re brand new, of course, and are actually still in the process of being pulled together….but we wanted DESPERATELY for them to be launced on today, before the performances tonight…. So, launched they’ll be – 100% finished or not!!!

Please help us spread the word to the two fanbases – we’re running around cyberspace like wild fools, but there’s only so much ground we can cover – especially in one afternoon!!!
Thanks!

Talk about tough acts to follow – the ladies couldn’t have made it any tougher on the guys. How incredible were Katharine, Paris, Mandisa, Becky, Ayla, and Lisa??!!
Love them muchly, but I didn’t think Brenna or Kellie did their best last night. I’ve seen their best and it didn’t resemble last night’s very much. Especially Brenna. Her personality blows me away – I adore this gal! But last night it’s like she forgot who she was. She seemed to think she was Carrie or Diana…..
Come on, Brenna, leave the blowing sunshine up people’s butts for people who do that sort of thing – that’s not you. Get back to the Brenna who makes me sit on the edge of my couch waiting for what she’s going to do next!
As for Heather, Kinnik, Stevie, and Melissa…. I think they’re each honestly very beautiful and talented. And each one of them has an amazing personality (all the girls do this year!)…but I’ve all ready forgotten their performances. I kind of wish they had one more shot, though – to see what each would be capable of now that the jitters may be out of the way.

Apparently, Britney Spears isn’t going to be on an upcoming episode of Will and Grace after all. They reported that she was, then she wasn’t, then she was….we’re now officially back to wasn’t.
And I don’t think a was is forthcoming. Pity, I was kind of looking forward to it. I haven’t watched that show in ages, but I would’ve tuned in for that one.
We love Ashlee. She gets more talented and beautiful with each passing day and her song writing talents are verrry impressive.
However, every now and then she comes up with something that leaves you wondering where her head is. In a recent interview with Seventeen, she was asked about her embarassing (read: stupid) stunt in a McDonald’s restaurant.
Ashlee’s response: “I feel it was a moment of growing up…”
When celebs do brain dead things, why can’t they just say, “Wow! I made a total shyte bag of myself.” The worst thing in the world is to try to make sense of it or try to put a life affirming spin on it.

Have an incredible week!

Whew, good to know I can go back to adoring Kelly again. I was afraid success had gone straight to her head, but she now has come out and said she has no problem with contestants singing her songs on AI. She even said she was happy to hear one of her songs being sung in the opening rounds.
That’s the gal we know and love!

Ashlee Simpson and sister Jessica will appear on the cover of the next Teen People. Inside, among other things, Ashlee talks about her controversial past year.
“Yeah I messed up in front of everybody. I love to sing. It’s a joy to me. I don’t do it for anyone else — I do it for me. I’ve had to learn that my voice is the most important one. Otherwise, I’ll drown in what everyone wants me to be.”

Jessica Simpson has said, in an upcoming Teen People, that all the public scrutiny of her marriage has driven her to see a therapist.
“Yes I have (seen a therapist), I respect knowledge of the psyche. I would be a therapist if I weren’t an entertainer. Hopefully mine and Nick’s story will continue for the rest of our lives, like what we vowed, through sickness and in health.”
Despite the media’s claims, Jessica and Nick claim that they’re still together.
