It’s black lady boomer versus chirpy white guy in ‘American Idol’
May 17 2007

Place your bets – black or white? Only two are left to fight for all the marbles in the world’s greatest TV singing talent show – “American Idol.”
The battle pits a chirpy white guy against a female black singer with a booming voice.
“Idol” voters kicked out Miranda Doolittle, 29, a long-time backup singer who has stunned the show’s judges and viewers with her voice.

Her departure leaves Blake Lewis, 25, and Jordin Sparks, 17, as the finalists in the sixth season of “American Idol,” a singing talent show that has produced a list of successful recording stars from its winners — and its losers.
“You already have made it,” Paula Abdul told Doolittle.
Acerbic fellow judge Simon Cowell, who has backed Doolittle as a singer throughout the contest, was full of praise. “Congratulations to you. You are one heck of a singer,” he said.
Blake Lewis
Lewis, who is a full-time musician, won over “American Idol” viewers with his personality.
Jordin Sparks

Water me please
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so [...] -

Movie supervillains of all time
I was a little curious when I opened up my Yahoo page today. There was a box advertising a list of the 15 top movie villains of all time. Now being a movie fan myself, I often wondered why there wasn’t any lists of this sort. Did the superheroes craved the spotlights too much? Ah [...] -

19|May|2007I’m just now reading Harry Potter Book 5 : Order of the Phoenix. (I’m way too late! The movie on that book is coming out in July).
And Hagrid is nowhere to be read yet and I’m almost halfway through. Did he lost his way and made it to American Idol instead?!
