It seems that Brooke, who Tuesday night Simon promised to turn to the dark side, has tried this singing contest thing before…
Last summer, Brooke made it to the final five of “The Next Big Rock Star,” a contest by Los Angeles radio station Star 98.7 and Ironworks, the record label created by Jude Cole and Kiefer Sutherland.
Needless to say, she didn’t win, but isn’t it amazing that little miss “I’ve never watched a rated R movie” made it that far in a rock star contest?
Hmmm…
Thanks to my second favorite Canadian, RT, for the tip…

Has "Idol" Lost Its Magic?
The ratings are in and…Last night’s “Idol” premiere was its lowest-rated in four years.
The show was still seen by an average of 33.2 million people (which blew away the competition), but that’s down 11% from last year…
Many media outlets across the country were pretty hard on last night’s episode and Simon’s sudden case of nice had many writers perplexed.
Personally, I kind of liked it…
I honestly don’t think this is anything for the show to worry about since the ratings competition will continue to dwindle as the weeks wear on; but what do you guys think? Is this the year that the “Idol” phenomenon slips off the track?...
The Little Black Dress Battle
This picture was taken in LBDs at the National Board of Review Awards in NY. Who do you think among the four wears the little black black dress in a nice and gorgeous way when it comes to fashion? Is it Jennifer Garner, Emily Mortimer, Ellen Page or Kate Winslet? Common up guys! voice out your answer! oh well.. for me, I like Jennifer Garner style..

Auditions Day One: "Always Victorious"
Tonight, the fun begins as we visit the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.
So, for the first time this season, here are my thoughts…
So I’m guessing those new opening credits will debut later because those were the same…
What is up with Randy’s goatee?...
So the show starts off with a feel-good story in Joey (“Sunday Morning”), who lost 204 pounds. It was a nice start and he’s got a nice voice…
How could the producers not let Alaa (“How Deep Is Your Love”) through? But how come his English was so much better when he was “singing”?
Melanie (“Unwritten”) really shouldn’t have told Simon she sang backup for Taylor Hicks. He wrote her off right then…
I have to admit I even laughed at James (“Go Down Moses”)…
With some lessons, Nick from Massilon (“Unchained Melody”) could actually have something…
I like Junot (“I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues”). He’s cool…
Jose ("Regresa a Mi") singing Il Divo. Nice trick…
I would’ve really liked it if Temptress (“And I Am Telling You”) could’ve actually been able to sing. That would’ve been a really great story. Kudos to the judges for how they handled it. I think I even saw Ryan crying. I know I did…
Is it just me or did Alexis’ (“Somebody to Love”) mom even seem disturbed by her? And what happened to “always victorious”? They were actually nice to her. And yeah, she’s a shoo-in to show up on the finale—if they get enough security…
Thank goodness Angela (“Signed, Sealed, Delivered”) could actually sing. She could be a big story…
And what was up with Simon saying that he couldn’t celebrate with other people when they got good news? What kind of cold place is England anyway?...
I had to turn down the volume for those first three auditions from day two. Holy cow!...
And what to say about Milo (“No Sex Allowed”)? Sadly, I think he actually thought he was doing a service to the country…
Kristy Lee Cook. What a great name for a country singer…
That sound you hear is the Princess Leia in the gold bikini fantasy being crushed for guys everywhere by the sight of Ben…
I hope Paula got a restraining order against Paul (“I’ll Just Stalk Her”)…
I guess Paula didn’t think Ben would actually go through with the waxing. I wonder if the “Idol” producers paid for it…
That’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say they want to sell more records after they’re dead (Chris, “Follow Me”)…
What is up with all the “Star Wars” costumes? The scary thing is that with some serious work, Christina (“Don’t Let the Sun Go Down On Me”) might actually be able to sing. And did you see her actual hair? It was pretty…
And remember Christina, as Tim Gunn says, you cannot change how you are perceived, you can only change how you are presented…
Somehow I don’t think Simon was kidding when he said he’d bring Brooke (“Like a Star”) to the dark side…
In all, 29 people went through to Hollywood. And as usual, we saw very few of them. But I do think we saw more than last year…
Tomorrow, we head to Big D…

Sour Grapes from Chris?
Could Chris Daughtry still have some sour grapes about his elimination from “Idol”?
In an interview with RollingStone.com, Chris said “American Idol” is “definitely lacking some credibility…It’s in a state of decline and if they don’t do something about it, it’s probably not gonna last too much longer.”
What’s the problem? According to Chris, “People get tired of seeing people that suck.”
Chris admitted that his comments would probably get him in trouble. “I’m sure that’ll be used against me, but that’s the truth you know?”
Daughtry is currently recording their second album…

Jessica’s Judge Lays Down the Law
Last week, a Tampa judge blasted Jessica Sierra for speaking to the media after she was released from jail.
Telling her “you are not a celebrity, you are a drug addict,” the judge ordered Jessica to stay 100 yards away from all cameras and microphones.
She will now spend one year in a California rehab facility in a deal brokered by Dr. Drew Pinsky.
You can see Dr. Drew’s first attempt at helping Jessica on “Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew” Thursdays at 10 p.m. on VH1…
