The Justin Files, 3/7/08

Down to the twelve troubadours
Two guys and two girls went home last night on Idol. The last time this season we'll get the quadruple elimination shows (and the last time this season Idol takes up 3/5 of our weeknights). First to go was Kady Malloy, the girl Simon said had no personality (and who sang probably one of the most obscure songs so far featured on Idol). She was followed by Luke Menard, maybe they can have no personality together...or at least share one between the two of 'em. Asia'h Epperson, who made the mistake of trying to tackle Whitney Houston (not literally, of course), was hot on their tails. It came down to an emotional showdown between Danny Noriega and the only one-name wonder this year, Chikezie. The tension was palpable as Seacrest brought the "pregnant pause" way past it's due date. Danny came up short in the vote and brought the baker's dozen down to a proper 12.


Sein of the times

I have no idea what that's supposed to mean, I just wanted to try for a clever "Seinfeld" allusion.

It looks like Jerry might be coming back to the sitcom world. Rumors suggest that he's developing a new series in which he would play himself, "in an exaggerated reality". The show would be set in New York City and air on NBC.

Good to see he's challenging his artistic range.





Quick Hits
* Speaking of returns, Kathy Lee Gifford may be returning to the world of daytime talk. Word's out that she's in talks to join the fourth hour of The Today Show. Thankfully, her kids are older and not as cute now, so they probably won't show up as much.

* How's this for a rough life, apparently Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's new twins will sleep on 600 thread count Egyptian cotton crib linens, shake diamond encrusted rattles, and crawl through the halls of their own wing of the house.

* Speaking of celeb babies, Matthew McConaughey was so tickled that his older brother named his kid "Miller Lyte" (after his favorite beer), that he wanted to do the same with his son. Thankfully, Matt's girlfriend would have none of it. Good thing too, "Natty Ice McConaughey" wouldn't exactly look great on a movie poster, would it?
