Two guys and two girls had their dreams crushed on Idol last night. On the fella's side it was Garrett Haley (the one who's only a loin cloth away from a Jungle 2 Jungle sequel) who was the first guy to hit the door. The next dude was Colton Berry (the one who's only an adam's apple removal away from being Ellen). On the girl's side, Amy Davis said her good-byes ("Where the Boys Are"?? Really? That's the best choice for the first time America's going to see you perform live?? Well, obviously not), and Joanne Borgella followed her out the door (I have nothing snarky to say about her, she's a Jersey girl, gotta show some love). By the way, if you like this three days of Idol thing you're in luck, we're getting it for two more weeks until they hit the top dozen (if you don't like it...well, tough cookies I guess).
Edit (2:57pm): Check out the poll on the right. In light of recent news that, in addition to Carly Smithson, at least two other Idol contestants have had professional recording experience previously, is the show moving away from the original intention of finding America's best undiscovered talent? Feel free to weigh in on the poll and/or the comments section.
The Lopez/Anthony kiddies have arrived
After denying the rumors for months and months before quietly acknowledging her pregnancy, new Point mommy Jennifer Lopez has given birth. The twins (one girl one boy) arrived early this morning. As of press time (I've always wanted to say that), no word on the names yet. Let the pools begin now as to whether they'll be animal, vegetable, or mineral.
Universal rolls the dice, redux
We're getting more details of the Universal Studios/Hasbro, Inc marriage courtesy of Rotten Tomatoes. Apparently there was some truth to my jesting the other day. Rumors are that at least two of the movies to be based on classic board games will be Monopoly and Battleship (anybody else smell a tagline of, "from the director of Pearl Harbor and Transformers, Michael Bay..."). But here's the real news...apparently there are already rumblings of a Clue remake...come on folks, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
P.S. If Wilford Brimley does, in fact, end up in the Monopoly movie I want all of you to remember who first said it way back when!
Quick hits
* So not only has Hollywood run out of ideas, apparently Broadway has as well. Shrek: The Musical arrives December 14th.
* Pax Jolie-Pitt is now officially one of the luckiest kids in the world. His legal adoption was approved yesterday.
* Speaking of the Jolie-Pitts, Brad's apparently a decent tipper. The couple were out for dinner with Clint Eastwood and his wife last night in LA. Brad left a $100 tip on a $468 bill. A cool 21.4% (yes, I did the math...but I'm guessing he just used one of those laminated wallet tip cards).
Have a great weekend everyone!

OMG! FIRST!!!!!!11111. haha.
Kidding.
I'm kinda disappointed in Idol this year. The "plants" aren't even that good.
Maybe it's the fact that the show forces "Red Shoe Week" or "Latino Week". Some people aren't cut out to sing certain genres. Really "60's week" has been over done and all the themed weeks should be saved for top 12 anyway.
Carly and the other "plants" are bogus. Taylor Hicks & Rubin flopped and have been dropped from their labels.. should they be allowed to compete? Yea, if they are good - I can see pursuing a career, but having a label in the past is stupid.
nice Blog btw, I'll end my rant here. lol.
