Why was Alexis Grace's Number 866-436-5736 on American Idol? Here's why.

alexis_grace
According to AOL’s PopEater and TV Guide, the reason why Alexis didn’t just get number “13″ like she should have is because (866) 43657-13 (IDOLS 13) is currently being used by a phone sex operator.

Making matters worse, (866) 43657-00 (IDOLS 00) is also being used by the same phone sex operator. Apparently, a LOT of other numbers are being used as well if the show had to go all the way up to number 36.

If Alexis somehow ends up in the bottom 3 this week, it has to be reconsidered because asking people to dial a number that’s completely out of sequence is pretty unfair for her.

While everyone is thinking how crazy this would be for Idol fans to misdial and hear an intro to a phone sex line, I’m just wondering what kind of shocked expressions appear on the faces of people who are trying to have phone sex only to hear “Thanks for voting for me, Anoop!”

Megan Joy Corkrey "Rockin' Robin" American Idol Top 13 Performance Video

Is anyone else quickly falling in love with Megan Joy Corkrey?

I stupidly was telling people that this season was left with no stand out hotties without Casey Carlson making it through to the big stage.

I was wrong, very wrong.

While Megan Joy Corkrey has some of the weirdest dance moves ever seen on the Idol stage and a voice that’s a little Nelly Furtado and a weird style that is a little bit of that quirky, artsy girl that seems to be cool right now, I’m a huge, huge fan.

Do I think she could be eliminated in the first week of traditional eliminations this year? Yes, I do.

Do I think it’s weird that she performed of all songs, “Rockin’ Robin?” Yes, I do.

Does that make me think she’s any less charming with her twisty dance and full sleeve tattoo? No, it doesn’t.

Allison Iraheta "Give In To Me" American Idol Top 13 Performance Video

Lost amongst the praises for Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert was a pretty good performance by Allison Iraheta of Michael Jackson’s “Give in to me.”

While Allison arguably had the best performance of all this year’s contestants during the first week of the competition, it’s looking like she might not stand a chance compared to the wealth of talented guys who could go very far on this year’s show (Danny, Matt, Adam). If any girl is going to take the title this year, Allison looks like she could still be the front runner for the girls.

If she stops making awkward suicide jokes.

Regardless, I thought she was good this week!

Danny Gokey "P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)" Performance Video: American Idol Top 13

American Idol officially got started today with the Top 13 and while the judges raved about Adam Lambert’s performance of “Black or White” later in the night, Danny Gokey’s “P.Y.T.” really got the night rolling with an energetic performance.

Granted, the guy dances worse than I (but it was awesome and I thought his reaction was great), but Paula thought his performance was good enough to send him to the finals. Later in the night, Paula said Adam would make the finals as well.

What do we think? Adam vs. Danny in the finals?

Chris Brown Charged With Assault for Attack on Rihanna; Night's Details Are Graphic

fp_1880903_ang_brown_rihanna_0208091

There is no doubt that Chris Brown’s recent arrest after his assault on girlfriend Rihanna could be one of the biggest fall from grace stories that we’ve ever seen in entertainment. Not only is it a beyond terrible situation for Rihanna, but the more that seems to come out about the story, the worse it gets.

What could possibly be worse? The fact that the Daily Fill, who tries to be controversial to get people to link to them (which I suppose worked here) and is a rollup product of big media

, not just one guy, is actually making fun of the situation.

dailyfill-chris-brown1

Funny to make fun of this, Daily Fill.

“Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown’s cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

“A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

“Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

“Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the s–t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’ “

The detective said she then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant … who did not answer.

“Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’

“After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!’

“Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

“Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

“Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

“Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

“Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle … and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

“Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

“She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown’s body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

“Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.’s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.”

There are some places you shouldn’t go and Daily Fill goes there almost everyday. While my vegetarian self loves animals, the fact that many people seem more disgusted with Michael Vick’s dog fighting

over Chris Brown’s beating of another human being in Rihanna is pretty shocking to me. The sad thing is that stories like what happened to Rihanna on Grammy night are things that happen everyday and for many, it’s only when we read about something like this that it seems to take any sort of mindshare.

The Hills Season 5 Trailer – Goodbye to 7 Seasons of "LC"

It’s crazy to think that a little show called The Hills is actually in its 5th and now final season . Not only is this the fifth season of MTV’s biggest ever show, but it’s the seventh season that we’ve known Lauren Conrad since Laguna Beach.



Lauren told Seventeen Magazine that “‘This is as long as I can do it and stay sane.’” From the looks of the trailer, it looks like fans will be getting a great final season with Lauren Conrad on the idiot box. There’s some sort of reunion with Heidi and while MTV will probably try and spinoff Heidi or Audrina somehow, it will be sad to see Lauren leave the world of semi-scripted reality TV after she’s been so many people’s TV friend for all these shortened MTV-length seasons.

With a book coming out and endless projects and appearances, after seven seasons and successful DVDs to go with them, something tells me that Lauren Conrad is not yet set to leave the spotlight and for those of us who love her, that’s a GREAT thing.

Get Excited, Lauren Conrad Is Writing a Book – "L.A. Candy"

I know we’re in a depression, guys (let’s be real, a recession is being nice right now and by the way, I’m calling the stock market “floor” to be 5,000, just watch). But no doubt we can all find room to splurge on one worthwhile purchase this year and here it is.

Although the book is fiction, the synopsis bears a striking resemblance to Conrad’s life on The Hills…“Roberts can’t wait to start living it up. She may be in L.A. for an internship, but Jane plans to play as hard as she works and has enlisted her BFF Scarlett to join in the fun,” according to a synopsis of the book.

Don’t act like you’re not excited. Start saving now. All joking aside, I know I’m going to get it. I know I’m going to read it. And I know I’m going to love it.
While some may hate on The Hills, the fact is that Lauren Conrad has a fashion line and a book and we don’t. The fact that she’s turned herself into an empire that has had more staying power as a reality TV star than many A-List actors that try and make it on TV is nothing short of awesome.
If it wasn’t just my birthday, I would tell people that this is what I want. So if anyone wanted to present me with a spontaneous gift on June 16, this is what I want.

Carrie Underwood Pwned the 2009 Grammy Red Carpet

You can say what you will about Carrie Underwood’s outfit during her performance of “Last Name” at the 2009 Grammy Awards (I don’t know what was going on there either), but is there any denying that she was among the night’s best dressed on the red carpet?
