It might be a good idea. Less time for Paula to make no sense and fewer opportunities for Randy to spout inanities. Maybe this new judge can speak in complete sentences that are not 100% cliche. That would be a pleasant change.

Oh man, how much fun would it be if it was Courtney Love? She'd make Paula look positively sane. :-)

Well, between Nigel leaving and Simon getting more control over the show, I'm not sure where this is all heading.

It's probably headed toward an implosion! Any cool David Cook stuff recently? I dropped the DC LJ community I joined. It was taking over my LJ and too many people would imbed media without doing a LJ cut so it would take forever for pages to load. It was very annoying.

He signed a contract with Sketchers, met Lindsay Rose, will probably release his new single sometime in September, the Magic Rainbow song has sold over 800,000 downloads and his CD will be released in the middle of November.

Tell that to the Claymates - some of them are completely traumatized and feel betrayed.

He lied to them! In 2003! Don't you remember? And they stood up for him! Even when their friends and families told them that he was so totally gay. They're going to have to face scorn and derision! And they're not over the baby yet! None of you understand.

Hee! For reals. It was surprising to read some of the commentary. I'm glad he came out and now he can live his life as he wants. I certainly hope the day comes when someone announcing they're gay is no longer news. Live and let live.

So, they are going to sue him now? ;)

Clay Aiken?? Gay??? Next you're going to tell me that House and Wilson are completely straight! And that the Easter Bunny doesn't exist! Lies, I tell you, all lies!

But...but...but...the Rolling Stone article! And he didn't blog about it! He didn't even think of his fans.

There is no Easter Bunny? :huh?:

Those poor, dumb bastards. What difference does it make to them? Because it's the *gay* thing that's keeping him from having sex with them, right?

Yes, that's exactly it. These so called fans who are going to abandon him over this are not true fans imo.
