The Justin Files, 3/5/08

Hey I know, let's start with Idol for a change!
It was an interesting night on Idol last night. Some were really good, and some were kind of confusing. While the judges praised...nay, nearly adopted, some of the guys. Others they simply lightly scolded. Simon was in rare form...not criticizing, but praising a number of guys, like Jason Castro who he practically proposed to. Paula was also in rare form, for this season at least...was it me, or did she not make any sense the whole night? Check out that same link above and listen to Paula at the end. I don't even think it's English.

Randy made a pretty embarrassing mistake. The man who played with Journey and produced Mariah, said how he liked how Australian Michael Johns, "went home" and compared him to Michael Hutchence, both obvious references to INXS. The only thing is, Simple Minds (a Scottish band) did "Don't You (Forget About Me)". (Almost funnier was the confused look on Michael's friends in the audience).

Naturally, nobody said anything about David Hernandez and his new scandal. In fact they didn't even dance around the subject....hah! See what I did there? "Dance", cuz he was a dancer...never mind.


Strengthening international relations
The social faux pas of the day goes to Good Morning America's Chris Cuomo, who said that England's Prince Harry, "is expendable" since he's not next in line for the crown, and that's why he was sent to Afghanistan instead of his older brother.

Understandably, the British press is none too amused.


Quick Hits
* Bill Cosby, who singlehandedly supported the ugly sweater industry as Dr. Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show, is auctioning off some of the garish threads for a good cause. The money will support "Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation", which was created in memory of his murdered son.

* Mark your calendars for April 15. That's the day that Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds hits the DVD shelves.

* NBC has announced a bunch of reality shows for the summer season; American Gladiators returns, as does Last Comic Standing and America's Got Talent. New shows include Celebrity Circus and The Baby Borrowers, which was supposed to debut this month, but was moved to June (that's gotta be a good sign, right?).
