I STAND CORRECTED

IN A PREVIOUS POST I ANNOUNCED THAT AMERICAN IDOL ALREADY HAD A WINNER IN DAVID ARCHULETA... AND DON'T GET ME WRONG, HE'S A DEFINITE TOP 5, OR MAYBE EVEN TOP 2.

BUT I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT FOLKS. AND IN THAT LIGHT IS MY FAVORITE CONTESTANT OF THE SEASON...

JASON CASTRO

SEE FOR YOURSELVES...

EXHIBIT A: PERFORMING GNARLS BARKLEY'S "CRAZY" AT A BAR PRE-IDOL

EXHIBIT B: BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE OF JEFF BUCKLEY'S "HALLELUJAH"



EXHIBIT C: NEED I SAY MORE?

SERIOUSLY.

A BLOG UPDATE ABOUT DADDY WILL BE UP TOMORROW I JUST DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO MORE THAN WATCH JASON CASTRO TONIGHT. BUT IT'S NOT A BAD UPDATE. IT'S MORE OF A POSITIVE ONE!! YOU NEVER KNOW WITH THIS DAMN DISEASE THAT I DESPISE. NOBODY'S DYING ANYTIME SOON THOUGH!! THIS MUCH I KNOW :-)

XOXO,

BAXTER

PS- FOR ALL YOU IDOL FREAKS OUT THERE... YEAH. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. I CANNOT TAKE THE WAITING GAME ON THIS SHOW. PERIOD. SO THERE IS AN EXTREMELY ACCURATE WEBSITE THAT PREDICTS WHO IS IN THE BOTTOM BASED ON BUSY SIGNALS. IT'S NOT ALL THAT ACCURATE UNTIL THEY GET DOWN TO 12 TOTAL AND START THE LIVE SHOWS AT WHATEVER THEATRE. THEY ARE ALMOST ALWAYS RIGHT THEN. THEY EVEN PREDICTED DAUGHTRY'S DEMISE WHICH I NEVER SAW COMING IN A MILLION YEARS. ANYWAY, IF YOU ARE AS IMPATIENT AS ME, HERE'S THE LINK SO HAVE AT IT. JUST REMEMBER IT DOESN'T GET SCARILY ACCURATE UNTIL THEY HAVE THEIR TOP 12.

AS FOR ME, I'M LOVIN' ME SOME JASON CASTRO!!

ALSO, YOU CAN VOTE AN EVICTED BIG BROTHER 9 HOUSEGUEST BACK IN ON CBS.COM BUT ONLY UNTIL MARCH 11th AT 11:59pm... HERE'S THE LINK, BUT ONLY USE IT IF YOU'RE VOTING FOR MY HUSBAND ALEX. OTHERWISE FORGET I MENTIONED THIS :-)

PS- IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING CAN YOU PRETTY PLEASE HELP TO SOMEHOW RID AMERICA OF THIS IDOL CONTESTANT. SHE'S REALLY STARTING TO FRIGHTEN ME...



NO JOKE. AT ALL. SERIOUSLY.

INSIGNIFICANT RAMBLINGS...

OMG… LADIES AND GENTS PUHLEEZE BRACE YOURSELVES FOR THIS. IT IS A BIT TRAUMATIC.



OH NO SHE DIDN’T. KATHERINE, A HAIRCUT IS FINE, BUT ALL THIS HAIRSPRAY AND TEASING IS WAY OVER THE TOP!! I AM AT A TOTAL LOSS FOR WORDS…

BUT ONLY FOR A SECOND OF COURSE.

THE WRITERS STRIKE IS OVER!!! THE WRITERS STRIKE IS OVER!!! I DON’T CARE WHO, WHAT, WHEN OR HOW, BUT SOMEBODY BETTER GET BACK TO PRODUCTION ON GREY’S ANATOMY AND ENTOURAGE STAT!!!! AND THAT IS A DIRECT ORDER!

OKAY, SO I AM SURE YOU HAVE ALL HEARD THAT ANOTHER HILTON FAMILY MEMBER HAS NOW GOTTEN A DUI. I PRESENT TO YOU… BARRON HILTON.



18 YEAR OLD YOUNGER BROTHER OF PARIS AND NICKY. AND INSTEAD OF BAILING BARRON OUT, OR BEING BY HIS SIDE IN HIS TIME OF NEED, REFORMED-JAIL-BIRD-PARIS (HA!!) WAS TOO BUSY HOSTING A PARTY IN VEGAS FOR HER FELLOW ATTENTION-WHORE FRIEND KRISTIN CAVALLERI.

SEE, I HATED KRISTIN DURING LAGUNA BEACH BUT STILL THOUGHT SHE WAS FUNNY. BUT THEN SHE BECAME MUCH MORE LIKABLE THE MORE SHE SEEMED LIKE SHE WANTED TO BE NORMAL. SHE WAS OFF OF TMZ, OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT AND SEEMINGLY HAPPY. WELL I’LL BE DAMNED IF THE OLD KRISTIN SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE CAME OUT OF HIDING AND HAS BEEN FULL-TIME-ATTENTION-WHORING-IT EVER SINCE. I AM NOT QUITE SURE WHY, BUT SHE IS NOWHERE NEAR AS CUTE AS SHE USED TO BE AND LAUREN HAS HER BEAT BY A MILE… AND THEN SOME. PLUS THIS BEHAVIOR PUTS HER RIGHT THERE ON THE LEVEL OF ALL THE OTHER GIRLS WHO PARTY ALL THE TIME, AND ARE FAMOUS JUST FOR BEING FAMOUS AND NOTHING ELSE. I CAN OFFICIALLY SAY I MIGHT HATE HER. IT’S JUST A “MIGHT” PEOPLE, NOT AN ACTUAL HATE.

SPEAKING OF ATTENTION-WHORES, SHOULDN’T LINDSAY QUIT CLUBBING EVERY NIGHT AND DO MOVIE OR SOMETHING?? ALSO, ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE THAT SOMETHING HAS GONE AWRY WITH HER FACE LATELY???



CAUSE I’M ONE TO TALK!!

ALSO, IS IT JUST ME OR IS RUMOR WILLIS EXTREMELY UNATTRACTIVE.

LIKE EXTREMELY…



BECAUSE AGAIN, I’M ONE TO TALK.

HEIDI MONTAG IS REALLY UPSET OVER THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT HER RECENT MUSIC VIDEO...

WONDER WHY???


ALSO, IT’S BEEN REPORTED THAT MILEY CYRUS IS REALLY DRUNK IN THIS PICTURE???? SAY IT AIN’T SO!!! YOU DECIDE.



MOVING ON, IN BIG BROTHER SPOILER NEWS, AS EVERYONE SAW LAST NIGHT MY NEW FAVORITE COUPLE GOT HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD. WHAT YOU DIDN’T SEE IS THE TWO COUPLES THEY NOMINATED ALREADY, AND THIS IS A NOMINATION I TRULY LOVE. THE ONY ONE I LIKE OF THE FOUR NOW NOMINATED PLAYERS IS HIM, AND I THINK HE'LL STICK AROUND. ALSO, ONE OF THE HOUSEGUESTS WENT HOME FOR A “PERSONAL” REASON, AND THEIR PARTNER GOT TO CHOOSE A REPLACEMENT. HOORAY BECAUSE THEY CHOSE WISELY AND ARE NOW MY SECOND FAVORITE COUPLE. I HOPE THESE FOUR MAKE IT TO THE END!! MAYBE IT’S NOT GOING TO BE SUCH A BAD SEASON AFTER ALL :-)

I WAS A BIT DISAPPOINTED WITH AMERICAN IDOL BECAUSE TWO OF THE GUYS I WAS ROOTING FOR SHOCKINGLY DID NOT MAKE THE CUT. FIRST WE HAVE OUR RESIDENT MORRISTOWN FRIEND, JOSIAH LEMING…



WHO IS PROBABLY LIVING IN HIS CAR IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS WE SPEAK.

BUT THEN, IN EVEN SADDER NEWS WE HAVE OUR PRECIOUS KYLE ENSLEY. I REALLY LIKED HIM AND AM BAFFLED THAT COLTON GOT THE SPOT OVER HIM. I THOUGHT HE HAD IT IN THE BAG. AND SIMON WAS PISSED!!!



I WON’T EVEN BOTHER POSTING A PICTURE OF COLTON BECAUSE HE AINT GOING NOWHERE IN THIS COMPETITION.

IN MUCH MORE POSITIVE NEWS, I WAS THRILLED THAT CARDIN DIDN’T MAKE IT!! CALL ME SELFISH (BECAUSE I AM, BUT WHATEVER…) BUT EVERYONE THAT KNOWS ME WELL IS 100% KNOWLEDGABLE THAT IF I EVER BIRTH MY OWN CHILD, HER NAME (YES, SHE WILL BE A SHE, I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED) WILL BE CARDEN. I CHOSE THIS NAME WHEN I WAS 24-ISH, COURTESY OF A FABULOUS BFF NAMED AMY. HOW DARE SOME RANDOM GIRL WITH THE SAME NAME COME IN AND CAUSE OTHER PEOPLE TO HEAR IT AND SUDDENLY DECIDE TO NAME THEIR CHILD THE SAME!! THERE WILL BE NO BABY-NAME-STEALING ON MY WATCH PEOPLE. I AM OFFICIALLY CALLING CARDEN. IT’S MINE. NOBODY ELSE CAN HAVE IT. I AM ALSO CALLING BLAKELY, BY THE WAY, FOR MY FUTURE SON. COURTESY OF MY KELS OF COURSE. ALL OTHER NAMES ARE UP FOR GRABS SO HAVE AT IT. JUST REMEMBER THE RULES PEOPLE.

WHILE I AM REMINDED ON THIS MOST HORRIBLE OF HOLIDAYS THAT I MIGHT DIE ALONE, I WOULD LIKE TO NAME MY PROBABLY NOT GONNA HAPPEN FUTURE CHILDREN CARDEN AND BLAKELY. DON’T STEAL MY DREAM PEOPLE. PRETTY PLEASE :-)

ALSO, THE ONLY PERSON WHO SENDS ME ANYTHING ON VALENTINES DAY IS IN VEGAS, WITH MY MOTHER. SO THAT SUCKS. I REALLY LOATHE THIS HOLIDAY. I REMEMBER NOT HATING IT SO MUCH UNTIL I WALKED INTO MY CLEMENT HALL FRESHMAN DORM LOBBY AFTER AN 8AM CLASS AT UT TO FIND A DAMN BOTANICAL GARDEN GOING ON IN THERE. GIRLS WERE SHRIEKING, CRYING, FALLING ALL OVER THEMSELVES TO GET TO THEIR 55 BOUQUETS OF ROSES AND I GOT NOTHIN. WELL, SCOOTER BROUGHT ME & CARDEN FLOWERS AND THEN GOT US DRUNK SO THAT WAS FUN, BUT I THINK HE JUST FELT SORRY FOR US, OR JUST FOR ME TO SPECIFY. BUT IT WAS THEN I DECIDED THAT THIS HOLIDAY WAS MORE OF A HELLIDAY FOR ME. ALL THE SAPPINESS JUST KILLS ME. I KNOW MANY OF YOU LOVE THIS DAY OF LOVE AND I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU ABOUT THAT. I JUST NEVER REALLY HAD A GOOD ONE. AND I AM A BITTER BITCH. BUT YOU KNEW THAT ALREADY.

MOVING ON AND BACK TO MY PREVIOUS TOPIC, I PROMISED THEM, AND HERE THEY ARE!!! MY AMERICAN IDOL PREDICTIONS. WOO-HOO, WHO’S EXCITED!! OKAY, WELL THEN JUST PRETEND YOU ARE FOR MY SAKE PLEASE.

IF YOU MUST, HERE IS A LINK TO THE ENTIRE TOP 24...

ALRIGHTY, I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY THAT THERE IS MUCH MORE TALENT WITH THE BOYS THAN THE GIRLS THIS YEAR. I COULD REALLY ONLY COME UP WITH 6 GIRLS OUT OF THE 12 WHO I THOUGHT MIGHT MAKE IT TO THE TOP 12.

AND THEY ARE (IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER):

Asia’h Epperson



Joanna Borgella



Amanda Overmyer



Syesha Mercado



Carly Smithson



Brooke White



THE ONLY ONES WHO MIGHT HAVE AN OUTSIDE SHOT WOULD BE:

Kristy Lee Cook



WHO I MIGHT HAVE PULLED FOR BEFORE HER HOOCHIE DANCING LAST NIGHT.

AND Kady Malloy



THE BOYS AREN’T SO EASY…

I HAD A REALLY TOUGH TIME COMING UP WITH MY TOP SIX, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SAW A FEW OF THEM MAKE THE CUT THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND THEY LOOKED INTERESTING. SINCE I HAVEN’T HEARD THEM SING YET, I THREW A FEW OF THEM INTO THE MIX AND HAVE A TOP
10 INSTEAD. BLAME AMERICAN IDOL FOR MY INABILITY TO NARROW THIS ANY FURTHER. AFTER THEY SING, I ENSURE A TOP 6 PREDICTION YOU INDEED WILL HAVE.

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER… EXCEPT THAT I LOVE THE FIRST 6, HERE ARE THE GENTS.

David Archuleta



David Cook



Chikezie Eze



David Hernandez



Michael Johns



Robbie Carrico



Jason Castro



Luke Menard



Jason Yeager



Danny Noriega



UNLESS I’VE GOT MORE GOSSIP OR BITCHING ABOUT THIS SINGLE AWARENESS DAY GOING ON I AM DONE WITH MY RANT.

I DO HAVE A DATE TONIGHT WITH DRUNKENESS. ALWAYS A PLUS. AS MUCH AS I DESPISE THIS DAY, I DO LOVE YOU ALL!! ESPECIALLY MY GIRLS OUT THERE (YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO YOU ARE DARLINGS!!) AND DO VERY MUCH HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAS A GREAT AND SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER DAY THAN I ALREADY KNOW MINE WILL BE.


LOVE YOU!!!
BAX

CHECKING IN!!

FIRST OF ALL, HAVE Y'ALL SEEN THIS YET?? FABULOUS...



SECONDLY, I HATE VALENTINES DAY EVEN WHEN I AM DATING SOMEONE, SO DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EXPECT A PERKY, HAPPY BLOG FROM ME TOMORROW. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW IN ADVANCE.

OKAY I AM OFFICIALLY OFF THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL FOR NOW, UNLESS I CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TIME OFF TO GO TO OHIO. WE GOTTA GET OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA OR TEXAS. GOTTA DO IT PEOPLE. JUST ONE OUT OF THREE, AND WE CAN LOSE THE OTHER TWO BY 15% OR SO AND WE'LL BE GOOD TO GO. AND THEN I WILL FINALLY BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO DENVER!!! YOU KNOW YOU WANT ME IN DENVER!!! NO NEED TO LIE ABOUT IT!! SERIOUSLY, CONTACT YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR FRIENDS COUSINS, YOUR FRIENDS COUSINS BROTHER-IN-LAW... I DON'T CARE. JUST CALL THEM!!!

AND ON THAT NOTE, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY FRIENDS IN WASHINGTON DC, MARYLAND AND ESPECIALLY VIRGINIA, SINCE I HELPED CAMPAIGN THERE. CLEAN SWEEP. AND FOR ANYONE WHO THINKS OBAMA IS ALL TALK AND NO ACTION, PLEASE CHECK HIS WEBSITE FOR HIS POLICY PLANS AND VOTING RECORD AND GET BACK TO ME ON THAT.

SOMEBODY ASKED ME TODAY WHY I COULDN'T VOTE FOR CLINTON, EVEN IF SHE WINS THE NOMINATION. I WILL, OBVIOUSLY, BE DEVASTATED IF THIS HAPPENS BY THE WAY. AND MY ANSWER IS SO SHALLOW, BUT AT LEAST I AM HONEST ABOUT IT. THERE IS ZERO WAY I CAN HANDLE LISTENING TO THIS WOMAN'S REHEARSED SPIEL FOR ANYMORE OF THIS CAMPAIGN CYCLE, MUCH LESS 4 TO 8 MORE YEARS. SHE IS JUST LIKE A SUIT BUT WORSE. A PANTSUIT. USUALLY IN A HORRID SHADE OF YELLOW. I CAN'T HANDLE IT. PLUS SHE IS A CRYBABY. DON'T TREAT ME LIKE A GIRL, BUT OH WAIT PLEASE DO WHEN I AM LOSING. SHE NEEDS TO GET OVER HERSELF. I THINK IT IS THE GREATEST THING EVER THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD THIS WHOLE THING IN THE BAG AND THEN THIS ENTHUSIASTIC BLACK MAN COMES IN AND STEALS HER THUNDER... OUT OF NOWHERE! ALTHOUGH TO LONG-TIME BARACK SUPPORTERS LIKE MYSELF, THIS WASN'T OUT OF NOWHERE.

ALSO, I WOULD LIKE A PRESIDENT WITH FIRST CLASS JUDGEMENT WHO DOESN'T JUST BLINDLY VOTE TO GO TO WAR WITHOUT ACCURATE AND PERSONALLY INVESTIGATED EVIDENCE TO DO SO. AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CHOICE TO PAY FOR MY MEDICAL INSURANCE INSTEAD OF HAVING IT FORCED UPON ME. I ALREADY MAKE NO MONEY, AND IF I WERE TO GO BACK TO WORK SOMEWHERE THAT DIDN'T PROVIDE ME INSURANCE, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE CHOICE WHETHER TO BUY IT OR NOT. WHAT I WOULD NOT LIKE IS TO NOT HAVE THAT CHOICE, AND BE FINED OR HAVE MY ALREADY LOW WAGES BE GARNISHED WHEN I CAN'T PAY FOR INSURANCE TO BEGIN WITH.

PLUS I THINK THIS WHOLE, ANY RACE I DON'T WIN DOESN'T COUNT, AND SCREW ALL THE OTHER STATES IT'S DO OR DIE FOR OHIO AND TEXAS STRATEGY ISN'T GOING TO HELP HER ANY. WHICH IS TRULY FINE WITH ME. REMINDS ME OF RUDY AND WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT ENDED. I CAN ONLY HOPE FOR THE SAME...

ALSO THIS "READY ON DAY ONE" RHETORIC MAKES MY HEAD HURT. I MUCH PREFER THE "RIGHT ON DAY ONE" ANALOGY.

IF IT ENDS UP BEING CLINTON VS. McCAIN IT WILL BE LIKE CHOOSING THE LESSOR OF TWO EVILS. IF IT'S OBAMA VS. McCAIN THAT ALL CHANGES.

BY THE WAY, DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE CAUGHT MICHELE OBAMA ON LARRY KING LIVE THE OTHER NIGHT, BUT SHE IS THE EPITOME OF CLASS. HILLARY SHOULD TAKE A LESSON. BILL TOO FOR THAT MATTER.

WOW... THAT HUCKABEE JUST WILL NOT GO AWAY!! I LOVE IT!! HE SERIOUSLY CRACKS ME UP, AND HE IS ON EVERY SHOW EVERY NIGHT SO IT'S LIKE WATCHING LITTLE DOSES OF COMEDY CENTRAL ALL THE TIME. AND HE'S SO LIKABLE, IF HE WASN'T SO DAMN EVANGELISTIC.

AM I GOING TO GO TO HELL FOR SAYING EVANGELISTIC AND DAMN IN THE SAME SENTENCE???!!!

SO I WATCHED AMERICAN IDOL LAST NIGHT, AS WELL AS THE PREMIERE OF BIG BROTHER 9. HOLLYWOOD WEEK ON AI IS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE. ALWAYS. LAST NIGHT MY GUY PERRIE (THE DAD WITH THE GUN-TOTIN PAST) GOT THE AXE EARLY. MORRISTOWN BY WAY OF LONDON GUY IS STILL IN IT, AS WELL AS THAT ADORABLE 16 YEAR OLD WHO HAD THAT VOCAL CHORD PROBLEM. HE'S GOOD. I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW WITH MY PREDICTIONS FOR THE TOP 12. I LOVE PREDICTIONS.

BIG BROTHER 9 WAS FUN LAST NIGHT, ALTHOUGH I FOUND OUT WITH TWO CLICKS OF A MOUSE TODAY WHO HAS ALREADY BEEN ELIMINATED. DOESN'T THAT SEEM A LITTLE EARLY??? AND IT WAS MY FAVORITE COUPLE TOO. DO NOT CLICK HERE IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHO IT IS. THAT JEN GIRL IS A REAL BITCH TOO. FUNNY HOW I CAN GET ALL THIS FROM THE INTERNET 1 DAY AFTER THE PREMIERE. HERE'S A LINK TO A SPOILER SITE FOR YOU IMPATIENT FOOLS LIKE ME OUT THERE.

ANYWHO... LOVE TO YOU ALL!!!

XOXO,
BAXTER

PS- IF ANYONE CAN TELL ME WHY MY TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING TO FUND THIS WAR ON MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLEASE LET ME KNOW...
