Just like the color of Micheal Jackson’s skin … American Idol is slowly fading. Tonight was “supposedly” Michael Jackson night … but after hearing Idol’s “Baker’s Dozen” perform tonight, I only heard a few songs that was remotely similar to a Mic...

It's time for Idol to really start now. Normally, I already have a favorite but not this year. Most of the kids we've only seen once. Hard to become a fan with only 1 1/2 minutes of singing. Anywho, on with the show! Ryan start off standing on top of the "Big Stage" and then something strange happen...

Since I discovered I was just two degrees separated from Paula Deen, I thought I’d channel her this weekend when I was preparing our picnic lunch. Well, sort of. We had packed all sorts of sports equipment – balls, mitts, Frisbee – and a blanket to sit on. I wanted the food to be just as thoug...

It’s hard to believe that just one week ago it was snowing here. It soared into the mid to upper 70s this weekend – a perfect setting for the Exceptional Foundation’s annual chili cook-off. We had never been for some reason but had heard thousands of people turn out to our small Homewood Park ...

Tonight is the last of the semi-finals. Three of the performers tonight will make it into the top 12 the rest have a wild card long shot. I'm late at starting this blog tonight for lots of reasons but the main one is that I'm not really feeling it. If things go the way they have been, there will be ...

In this evening edition of Bitch, Please!, American Idol’s resident wackjob is backing off recent comments she made confessing that she does not think the idea of four judges on American Idol is such a good idea. In an interview with this week’s edition of OK! Magazine, Paula reportedly ...

Welcome one and all to the second group of Idol semi-finalists! The odds are very good that this show will be better than last week. Do I have any inside information you might ask? Why no I don't but last week was so bad that it can only get better. I'd like to give a special shout out to the people...

If you were sick and needed to be healed, would you seek Jesus or Binny? Christ or Copeland? Jesus or Joyce?
