Stalin’s version of American Idol: It was like Earth Hour in reverse

How did Soviet citizens vote for their favorite contestants in Eurovision Song Contest during the period of joseph Stalin?

When Stalin ruled the Soviet Union, telephones were in very short supply. And on top of that, cell phones, texting and computers were still just rough concepts in little baby Bill Gates’ mind.

So how did Soviet citizens vote for their favorite contestants in Eurovision Song Contest?

They watched the show in the dark, then turned on their lights when they wanted to vote for a contestant. The Soviet power company measured power spikes and the winner was supposedly the contestant who made power usage jump the most.

Sounds apocryphal to us. We’re not sure Stalin had any interest in demonstrating democracy to the citizens of the USSR.

Simon Cowell prefers American Idol to American Idolatry

President Obama’s star-studded Hollywood tour didn’t quite go as planned. First, he insulted the Special Olympics on the Tonight Show. Then Simon Cowell turned him down for dinner.

That’s right. The acerbic American Idol judge told Jay Leno he was just too darn busy to get together with the president.

“He wanted to have dinner,” Cowell said, “and our diaries didn’t quite match. He wanted to do eight, I was free at nine. We just didn’t quite connect. But I told him any time I’m in Washington.”

We’d love to hear Cowell review the President’s recent teleprompter performance.

“It was,” he’d probably say “a little karaoke-ish.”

Hollywood shock:
Insider says “American Idol” is fixed

american idol logoSay it ain’t true, Paula.

One cog in American Idol’s production machine says the show is completely fixed and that producers have already chosen the final four competitors.

According to an unnamed female production staffer, Danny Gokey, Lil Rounds, Adam Lambert and Alexis Grace will be seen in the finals. She insists she’s not speculating. “Those are the people,” she said.

But that’s where the agreement ends. Judges and producers reportedly can’t agree who the final two should be.

“Adam Lambert and Lil Rounds are better singers and musicians than Gokey and Grace, but they’re too much like past winners and ‘A’ successes,” the woman said. “Adam’s too close in style and sound to Chris Daughtry, while Lil Rounds is a dead ringer for Fantasia. Even their background stories are similar!”

“The producers really want it to be Danny or Alexis,” she added. “They think they’re very commercially viable, have a good image and a great story.”

We knew this thing was fixed a couple years ago when Sanjaya didn’t win. C’mon, that guy was a major talent.

American Idolatry: Simon Cowell wants to live forever

simon_cowell1In a move sure to make thousands of singers wish they were dead, American Idol judge has announced that he wants to live forever.

The caustic American Idol judge wants to be frozen upon his death so he can be revived in the future.

“I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics,” he announced to dinner guests at Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s residence. “Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do. I would be doing the nation an invaluable service.”

Fellow American Idol judge Paula Abdul has taken another approach to eternal life. Instead of being frozen, the erratic star seems to prefer getting pickled.

American Idol tops American idolatry

Barack Obama may have defeated John McCain, but Simon Cowell looks like a far more formidable opponent.

Fox’s “American Idol” won the popular vote on Tuesday with ABC’s coverage of the inaugural balls finishing a distant second.

Preliminary Nielsen numbers show that the first hour of “American Idol” brought in 22.4 million viewers. ABC’s “Neighborhood Ball: An Inauguration Celebration” scored only 12.6 million viewers.

Ronald Reagan’s 1981 inauguration, the most watched in history, scored 41.8 million viewers.

The American Idol judges watched the attached video of Barack Obama singing. Simon, Randy and Kara said, “No.” Paula asked if she could be ambassador to Funkytown.
