Vote Adam!

Everybody is Facebooking and Twittering over the meaning behind Adam’s performance of Sam Cook’s civil rights anthem A Change Is Gonna Come. Interesting selection.

Adam Lambert – One & Cryin’

Adam Lambert was typically great tonight covering U2 and Aerosmith, but to my mind, both Danny Gokey and Kris Allen turned in their best performances of the season. Tomorrow will be interesting.

The View Slams Joe The Plumber

Even Elizabeth Hasselbeck chimes saying, “Joe The Plumber is not invited anywhere around ME,” referring to his statement that he wouldn’t let his children be around his mythical gay friends.

Bye Allison

As expected (and predicted by Dial Idol).

Adam Lambert – Whole Lotta Love

Adam Lambert’s patented wailing was well-suited to tonight’s rock theme, especially for a Led Zeppelin cover. Both Danny and Kris were disasters, but I still wouldn’t be surprised to see Alison go tomorrow night.

Oprah On Gay Marriage

Oprah, Gayle, Jenny McCarthy, Nate Berkus and Hugh Jackman discussed gay marriage on Friday’s episode. (Although I think this was taped at least two weeks ago.) (Via – Good As You)

Prejean Rumored To Join The View

According to the National Enquirer, producers of The View want Carrie Prejean to replace Elizabeth Hasselbeck as House Wingnut when Hasselbeck goes on maternity leave later this year. “Elisabeth really has something to worry about,” said a show source, who revealed that while Dizzie Lizzie’s on maternity leave, Walters will audition, as her fill-in, the new right-wing babe on the …

Bye Matt

Everybody’s pick for next to go, Matt Giraud, was indeed next to go. The shocker was Adam Lambert placing in the bottom two. Immediately the fan forums lit up with cries of “set-up!” and “rigged!” as devotees speculated that the producers were engaging in shenanigans. Two words: Chris Daughtry.

Adam Lambert – Feeling Good

Tonight was “rat pack” night on American Idol, in which the contestants were to deliver their takes on Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, etc. I’m not sure what Nina Simone has to do with the rat pack or big band, but Adam Lambert’s take on Feeling Good was typically bombastic and theatrical. His version was more

Bea Arthur, 86

Legendary stage and television star Bea Arthur died at her home this morning at age 86. Family members say the Tony and Emmy winner had been battling cancer, but no other details are yet available. Below, I’ve compiled some of my favorite Bea Arthur television moments. Make sure you play the clip with Rock Hudson in which he and Bea …

Gone: Anoop Desai & Lil Rounds

Not very surprising, other than the abrupt fashion in which Lil was booted at the beginning of the show. Oh, and if you haven’t been able to log onto Facebook tonight, it probably melted down from all the digital acid thrown at disco oldsters Freda Payne and Harry Wayne Casey. Yowtch! Y’all know that KC is family, right?

Adam Lambert – Born To Be Wild

I’m not sure what kind of musical advice Quentin Tarantino was supposed to be giving on movie theme night, but tonight was surely the oddest of Idol’s guest coach moments. At this point, one must pity the other contestants, none of whom are outright terrible, for they are truly on a different show than Adam Lambert.

Crazy Cat Lady Susan Boyle Tipped To Win Britain’s Got Talent Contest

It looks like Britain’s Got Talent has another Paul Potts on their hands. As a crazy cat lady myself, I’m feeling you, Susan! She lives alone with her ten-year-old cat, has never been kissed, and is teased by children in the street. But 48-year-old Susan Boyle could just be the UK’s next singing sensation. Devout Catholic Miss Boyle has been …

Adam Lambert’s “Inner Maybelline Girl”

In today’s New York Times, Guy Trebay talks about American Idol favorite Adam Lambert’s love for eyeliner and whether a gay contestant can win the most popular show in America. Let’s imagine, then, that among the assorted warblers and strummers and leather-lunged divas that have made up the renewable cast of hopefuls on the country’s No. 1 television show, you …

Adam Lambert – Mad World

Last night the contestants performed songs from the year of their birth – meaning everything sounded really recent to me. The show ran long and last-to-perform Adam Lambert was only allowed one judge review – a standing ovation from Simon Cowell.

Wanda Sykes Gets Fox Chat Show

Excellent news for fans of recently out comedian Wanda Sykes. Fox is planning on launching a new Saturday late night show featuring Wanda Sykes, according to sources with knowledge of the network’s plans. The show is said to be more in the mold of Bill Maher’s HBO show than a typical talk show. It will air Saturdays at 11 and …

Daily Ungrumble

Better Off Ted, starring Mrs. Ellen DeGeneres, is high-larious. Funniest show I’ve seen in ages. It’s up against American Idol and therefore probably doomed to a single season, but check it out while you can.
