Shannon strikes me as girl who grew up wanting to be a pageant girl and only took vocal lessons so she'd have a "talent" for the pageants, but when she didn't find success in pageants, she figured she'd try this instead. In no way is she anything even close to an artist.

They cover it because it has a lot of fans. If you're not a fan and can only be bothered to watch a couple minutes during your break, then don't read the coverage or post here. Go watch Justified instead.

Nice to see the judges being judges for a change, instead of cheerleaders. I agree about Josh. I didn't like him leading up to the Top 12, but his performances have been the strongest the last two weeks.

Rainbow parties are parties where young kids (like 13-15) where colored bracelets to indicate what kinds of sex acts they're interested in. Of course, they don't actually exist, but that doesn't prevent local news stations from using the urban legend to terrify parents.

Where did Jimmy get that AMAZING phone? I stared in slack-jawed amazement as he demonstrated how, with a few button presses, he could make his phone PLAY A SONG!? WHAT KIND OF MAGIC IS THIS? WHERE CAN I GET A FUTURE PHONE?

Is that really her in that picture? Looks like some kind of creepy Real Doll.

The Hubble's images were only interesting after digital artists prettied them up.

Dead Alive is a great movie, but that stop-motion rat monkey is just awful. The gore effects in the movie work better as in-camera effects than they would with CGI, but that rat monkey looks no better than the 1925 King Kong. Maybe that's what Jackson was going for, but it's kind of distracting and takes you out of…

Adam's "bandanna" was actually a Pittsburgh Steelers "Terrible Towel".

Congrats, Russell, on your success. But I think you can relax now. You showed those bullies who teased you for being fat.

What do you mean "extra February"? Did they add an extra month to the calendar this year? Are you referring to Smarch, and it's notoriously lousy weather?

I think I speak for the UK, the UN, and the entire world when I say "Sean Penn, STFU. Nobody cares what you think about anything. Why don't you and Bono go jerk each other off."

He was awesome that one season with the Rams when they won the Super Bowl.

Master of my domain! No soup for you! He's a low-talker! Sponge-worthy! Cinnamon babka! Kenny Rogers Roasters! Japanese businessmen sleeping in drawers!

"they only seem to be released/available when it's someone famous" The  news plays 911 calls all the time, not just ones that involve celebrities.

Cranston was the best part of Malcolm in the Middle. But I'll give Von Bargen 2nd place.

I think 911 calls are public record.
