AMERICAN IDOL 10: TOP 12 BOYS

AKA: A CHAIR IS STILL A CHAIR, EVEN WHEN SIMON'S NOT SITTING THERE

KRISTEN'S BAAAACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN!

She has returned to the land of AI blogging after a much-needed incubation period! (Some use rehab. Some use the Sober Valley Lodge. Kristen prefers the more hard-boiled approach.) 


First, Kristen has some news. She'll be blunt. Simon is no longer with us.

Fortunately, Kristen will always have this momento of her time with Simon. Until we meet again, you saucy Brit! (Or until XFactor starts in the fall.)

Never fear, though. All is not lost.  Doing his civic duty and holding up the fort by returning to the show? Our hero.... the TRUE American Idol ...Ryan.

And this season's judges:

Randy (I played with Journey) Jackson!

Steven (Charlie Sheen was not available) Tyler 

And Jennifer Lopez-Noa-Judd-Anthony!! aka JLoNoJAn! JLo for short.  (BTW, Kristen From the Block thinks JLo's Louboutins are TO DIE for! She'd love to chew a pair or two.)

It's a busy night, so on with the festivities.

PUP TUNES!

KRISTEN SAYS:

TODAY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE LETTER "L"

L Is For LeBron who exchanged this:












for this:

Kristen says, "How dare you, sir?"
















L Is For LiLo who exchanged this:

for this:

L Is For Liza With a WTF?
Kristen adores the divine Ms. M, however, she did go just a tad Sterile Cuckoo on us this time.  We're sure there's a reasonable explanation.  However, what defies any excuse is how the producers of American Idol could overlook Liza as a replacement for Paula Abdul! They are soul sisters.
Observe:

L Is For Lab Luv or Loathe.  
This week, Kristen luvs:
Maggie Griffin, the mother of Kathy Griffin and the best part of My Life On the D List.  Kristen says, "Tip it, Maggie!"  Also, everyone should buy Maggie's specially designed "drinking blanket," The Mag-Let.

Paul the Psychic Octopus.  He predicts that Spain will win the World Cup.  Kristen is sure he also predicted the BP oil spill, but no one was paying attention as they were too focused on futbal or whatever it's called in non-American environments.

This week, Kristen loathes:

The World Cup.  Is it Kristen's imagination or has this been going on for 13 months? At any rate, she'd like it if people in the US would quit pretending to care.

Heat waves. Dear Global Warming: WE GET IT!! You exist. Now take a chill pill and let us enjoy our summer in peace.

Happy weekend! Stay cool. Stay hydrated.  And don't take any stock tips from psychic octopuses.
