News from the last couple of days...

"American Idol" has started again, and so far it's been typically entertaining to watch the losers with their puffed-up egos get smacked down by Simon.

Last night, the gender-identity-confused "Zachary" was particularly interesting... never mind that the guy looked, sounded, and dressed like a girl. He just couldn't sing worth crap. But of course he tearfully blamed his dismissal on "racism". Er, yeah.

On Tuesday night, a Paris Hilton wannabe (who seemed like she was on crack) also got dismissed, and afterwards she angrily insisted that the show didn't mean that much to her. I think they call that "sour grapes".

On the first night, there was one oddball guy whom Randy and Paula sent through to Hollywood... that was probably just to piss off Simon. Simon said to them, "Have you lost your minds?" Really, that guy couldn't sing either. But it'll be entertaining to watch him fail later. Ahh, schadenfreude.

At least the University of Michigan is good at something. Jason Coben and Nick Velissaris, both recent U of M graduates, won the World Series of Beer Pong in Las Vegas, and split a $10,000 grand prize. Hail to the Victors.

The woman who received a face transplant is endangering her recovery by restarting her smoking habit, doctors say. I think it'd be funny if they told her, "You know, if you smoke, you void the warranty on that face. If you try to return that face later and we smell smoke on it, we won't give you a replacement. Because you know, we couldn't restock that face and sell it again."

Come to think of it, if you smoke, that should void the warranty on your original face.
