    It’s Time To Hang Up The Microphone, American Idol

    So last night was American Idol’s big finale, the one where they name the winner and have a whole show dedicated to Simon Cowell’s creations. To be honest, I didn’t even know the season finale was last night until I saw it pop up on my Twitter feed this morning. And even then, I couldn’t have cared less.

    Celebretard Showdown: Paula Abdul vs. Kara DioGuardi

    During one of my sweaty midnight marathons (not the good kind, trust me), I happened to see one of the more recent episodes of American Idol. If I despised the American Idol judges before, you can bet that Kara DioGuardi’s actions didn’t make my feelings any fonder. What was she thinking?? I mean, the only one to rival her in craziness is Paula Abdul.

    Who Can Fill Paula Abdul’s Louboutins?

    I, for one, am thoroughly sad to hear that the web is abuzz with rumors that Paula Abdul might be abdicating her judge-ship on American Idol. She’s my second fav of the 4 AI judges (I mean, honestly, no one beats Simon: that smile, that accent, his badass, smart-alleck wit…swoon; Randy I stop listening to after the first “dawg” leaves his mouth..
