At least Kellie Pickler was charming and had a fun personality. I think people enjoyed watching her, even if she wasn't the best vocalist. But there's nothing enjoyable about Lil's performances. I think Lil has less of a future then KP.

FidelAstro: it's a contraption composed of a series of tubes.

She HASN'T done what they've asked, though. They keep telling her to stop trying to be a diva, but she keeps singing "diva songs".

How about all the time Seacrest wastes talking about how short on time they are?

You mean the bad hairpiece? I don't think that's his real hair. Isn't he like semi-bald? I thought maybe he was going for a sort of "ironic bad toupee" look.

I always start watching it on my DVR at about 8:20-8:25, and after skipping through all the ads, I usually catch up to the live recording by the end of the show.

Daniel Faraday?
Any LOST fans here? Dude looks a little like Daniel Faraday in that picture, no?

Same here. Loved them when I first heard Lazy Eye on the radio, and I assumed the singer was a chick. When I found out it was a guy, it took me a long time to wrap my head around that.

My finger is on the prostate of American culture.

good timing
This seems like a really great time to launch a new print magazine, with the strong economy giving people disposable income combined with the general lack of interest in online media.

Something tells me Nathan didn't invent the concept. ;)

I can tell he's an idiot because he calls himself "Flo Rida".

"Scott, I'm not quite sure how to say this…

Maybe the Americans with Disabilities Act requires them to at least pretend they're giving him a chance.

No drugs; just a big dick with a big ego to match.
