  1. I just thought it took you that long to come up with a smart comment.
  2. I was just trying to ruffle your feathers. I do admit that I sing along when I hear it on the radio and I think I have it on one of my many 70s cds. The song just really annoys me.
  3. Jessica Pulling an Angelina? Wed Mar 29, 5:37 PM ET The idea of being a mother is proving to be irresistible for Jessica Simpson. Reps for the soon-to-be divorcee confirmed that the 25-year-old has babies on the brain and is looking into the adoption process and also mulling plans to fund her own orphanage. "Jessica and her family have anonymously contributed money to [Mexican] orphanages for several years," Rob Shuter, Simpson's publicist, told E! News. "It is true that Jessica is exploring options to further help these children in need." But whether those options include taking the steps to become a single mother or simply starting her own orphanage in Mexico is yet to be seen. "I want to adopt, and I plan to adopt before I have my own kids," Simpson told Extra. The former Newlywed star also told the syndicated show that she draws inspiration from another famous mama. "I think Angelina Jolie has done amazing, amazing things, and the international adoption rate just since her has skyrocketed," Simpson said. "It's unbelievable." Simpson first began visiting Mexican orphanages with a Texas church group when she was just 11 and, as the legend goes, asked her parents if she could adopt a child while still in high school. Needless to say, papa Joe nixed the idea. Quoting an unnamed "pal" of the "With You" songbird, In Touch reported Simpson has been thinking about adoption since her 1999 visit to the Casa Hogar Elim orphanage in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, and has since visited several similar facilities south of the border. Still Shuter is quick to point out that no plans have been finalized, so it might be a bit longer before Ashlee becomes an aunt. In the meantime, the Dukes of Hazzard actress is keeping plenty busy. Earlier this month, the singer traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby members of Congress--though not the president--on behalf of the children's advocacy group Operation Smile, for which Simpson has been an ambassador for several years. The group offers surgery to children born with facial deformities in Third World countries. Simpson is currently back on the New Mexico set of Employee of the Month, a big-screen comedy costarring Dane Cook and Dax Shepard. The film is due to be released this year--but not before Simpson starts production on another project. She recently signed on to star in Major Movie Star as an actress who hits rock bottom and enlists in the Marines.

  9. It's ok Peachy. What I originally said was that apparently the "Idol Haters" did not vote because Chicken Little was sent packing.
  10. Possibly. What a twist that would be.
  11. When I posted that it looked kind of weird and I was thinking that her name wasn't Jin, but I couldn't remember. What I meant to say was that Sun, not Jin, might have slept with the bald guy.
  12. Elvy, I was thinking the same thing. Also, could Jin be a little hootchie and slept with the bald guy? This is why I love this show because you get your questions answered, but they leave you with more questions. Am I making any sense?
  13. "Idol" Haters Love Kevin Tue Mar 21, 6:12 PM ET Looks like the sky may not be falling on Chicken Little. At least, if one Website has any say in it. Votefortheworst.com is back to its usual antics, delighting American Idol haters and dismaying show producers by unleashing a campaign to back the contestant the site deems the worst of the wannabes. This season the online campaign has rallied behind 16-year-old Kevin Covais, nicknamed Chicken Little by host Ryan Seacrest for his passing resemblance to the bespectacled Disney character. The site, which started just prior to American Idol's third season and quickly got behind red-haired crooner John Stevens, claims its intention is not to be mean-spirited, rather to get voters to simply "embrace the suckiness" of the show by prolonging the stay of "less talented contestants" and people "like Kevin Covais, who have no chance of winning."

"For us, the fun of American Idol is that it's a cheesy show that is much more enjoyable when bad singers stick around," site creator Dave Della Terza explains in USA Today. According to the Website, Della Terza started the campaign simply to make the show more enjoyable. The competition, he writes, is fixed: Rocker Chris Daughtry "or any white male"--except, presumably, Covais--is whom he believes the producers are grooming for victory. The competition, Della Tarza says, is not about singing, but about making good reality TV. He says his site merely acknowledges that fact by "helping to keep around an entertaining protagonist." "If our pick is ousted from the competition, we'll move on to someone new," the site reads. "If we can help someone undeserving inch a spot closer to winning, that's a great success!" Which means Kellie Pickler better join Team Covais and quick. Last week Votefortheworst.com decided to back only Covais after previously encouraging voters to phone in on behalf of both contestants. "While Kellie Pickler is still an awful, tone deaf fake, it would be foolish to split our votes at this point," a post on the site read. "If for any reason Kevin is kicked out of the competition, we will then vote for Kellie (she's still terrible), so she's not off the VFTW radar." Unfortunately, the site may not be the only ones who think Covais is among the weakest of the pack. Last week, Simon Cowell called Covais' rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Part Time Lover" an "appalling" performance. Of course, being singled out on the site may not be wholly bad for the budding artist. Jasmine Trias, one of the site's chosen few for the show's third season, made it into the top four, while last year's main pick, Scott Savol, was among the competition's final five contestants--a feat for which the site, naturally, took credit. For its part, Fox is not issuing any new statements on the anti-Idol Website, instead deferring to the lengthy denouncement they released last spring. "While it is unfortunate that a small group of people are so caustic that they believe it would be humorous to attempt to negatively sway the voting on American Idol, the number of purported visits to the website would have no impact on voting," the network and show producers said last year. "Their hateful campaign will have no effect on the selection of the next American Idol." Covais is one of 11 finalists remaining in the competition. This week, the batch of hopefuls will try their hands at songs from the '50s, with Barry Manilow, who not so coincidentally just topped the charts with The Greatest Songs of the Fifties, set to perform on Wednesday's results show.
