I like how it doesn't say she's not taking pills, just that she claims she's not addicted.

Well, she says that she shoots herself up with an anti-inflamatory drug. I don't know how often she does this, but I do believe she puts a little something in her Coke, rum maybe . Come on, the way she acts, she's not just high on life.

I know. I'm trying to figure out what the hell she's injecting - it's not really that common for people to inject their own anti-inflammatories. Maybe it's just a B vitamin?

ABC Touts Special 'American Idol' Report
Monday April 25 7:07 PM ET


ABC will air a news special examining what the network called "explosive" allegations about the hit TV talent contest "American Idol."

The hourlong "Primetime Live" report by anchor John Quinones is scheduled for 10 p.m. EDT Wednesday, May 4.

Describing "American Idol" as a cultural phenomenon, ABC said it will "explore explosive claims about behind-the-scenes activities" at the show.

Details about the planned report were unavailable, an ABC News spokesman in New York said. A call seeking comment from Fox was not immediately returned Monday.

"American Idol," in its fourth season and one of television's top-rated programs, gives singers a shot at a record contract.

Judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul winnow the field down in the early rounds, with viewers then deciding on the finalists and the winner.

Past idols are Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard and Fantasia Barrino.

The show is valuable not only to Fox but to 19 Entertainment, which oversees recording deals for "American Idol" stars as well as merchandising, touring, sponsorship and movies.

While ratings have remained strong, there's been consistent fan grumbling about overloaded phone systems that have made it tough for some viewers to cast votes.

"American Idol" also has been shadowed by contestants who were bounced after they failed to disclose personal information.

Corey Clark, dropped from the show in 2003 after producers learned about a past arrest, reportedly is trying to sell a tell-all book about his experiences with the program.

Me too. They better not just be stringing us along while having nothing really good. Or else!

It will be stuff we already know:

-Clay is gay
-Ryan Seacrest is gay
-Paula is addicted to pain killers
-Clay is gay
-Paula has had sex with contestants
-Clay is gay
-Clay is gay

[wondergirl9847]

That about sums it up.

Wait, you forgot to put Clay is gay on your list.

Does anyone really think that Cory Clark and Paula got it on?? That's what he is saying in his book, or so I heard. Barf, he was disgusting.

Carrie -- Not bad.
Bo -- Great.
Vonzell -- Great.
Anthony -- Better than in past weeks.
Constantine -- Eh.
Scott -- Blah.

"Pack your bags..."

Okay, just a comment...if you could pick any song between 2000 and 2005, why the hell are you going to pick THAT crap?!?!

Honestly, I don't think anyone did very well tonight. Thank God Amazing Race is on...I need to purge American Idol out of my system.

I feel like we've seen that same performance from Carrie 50 times already. I agree that Bo was awesome. Hideous shirt, but great performance. I actually liked Constantine's song choice, but like Randy said, his vocal was awful. His brother was sure freaky looking, wasn't he?

Music made these days...bites.
