I hate apologizing on behalf of American Idol. We should be enjoying this! This is our joy! My joy! My Seacrest-sponsored rapture. My karaoke vomitorium pandemonium extravaganza. But sigh. Every once in awhile Idol is a silly suckfest for losers, and tonight was one of those nights. Ten dudes entered, and I'm telling you that at least eight of them were lame enough to dismiss completely. Randy Jackson shrugs wildly and pouts, "What is going on here?!" Besides you and your patronizing chuckles, Randy, not much.
Before we begin, it's time to note that Nicki Minaj's "infuriated" reactions whenever Mariah Carey speaks are annoying. What is she reacting to? Anything? It makes me mad. And then, of course Mariah makes me mad with her simplistic, pandering critiques and nervous, non-committal energy. Ugh! Hop on your jetski and hit me with some of that "Honey" video swag, M.C.!

After how weak the men were last week and the ridiculous pick of Zoanette last night, we are kind of dreading "American Idol" tonight, fans. Let's hope this final group in Las Vegas can be as strong as the first round of women.
The judges are introduced and once again, Mariah Carey has on a very low-cut top. You'd think after her nip slip, she'd rein those puppies in a little better.
1. Mathenee Treco, "A Little Less Conversation," Elvis
This is a really fun song, but it's not a song for a vocalist. The melody has about four notes and the lyrics are too fast, plus he has slowed it down, which does make the lyrics a little easier to understand, but it makes the song lose a lot of its fun swagger. This is very karaoke and his falsetto stuff is all over the place. This should (hopefully) not...

Flo Rida has extended his stay atop the Australian singles chart. The rapper's latest track 'Whistle' returned to number one this week, while last week's chart-topper, 'Stay With Me' by Karise Eden, drops out of the Top 50 completely. Chris Brown advances to number two with 'Don't Wake Me Up', Maroon 5 are at three with 'Payphone' and Katy Perry is at four with 'Wide Awake'. Eden, who won The Voice Australia last month, stays put at five with 'You Won't Let Me', while Nicki Minaj's 'Pound The Alarm' climbs up to number 10. Elsewhere, James Morrison is at 19 with 'I Won't Let You Go', Delta Goodrem is at 25 with 'Sitting On Top Of The World' and Jennifer Lopez re-enters the (more)...

Jon Favreau's big-budget blockbuster "Cowboys & Aliens" hits theaters this weekend, bringing Platinum Studios' 2006 graphic novel to life on the big screen. But don't worry if you didn't know about the film's comic-book roots, because you're probably not alone.
Like quite a few films before it, the concept for "Cowboys & Aliens" originates in a comic book that isn't nearly as well-known as mainstream titles like The Amazing Spider-Man and Batman. However, just because a comic book movie's source material isn't well known, that doesn't mean the film was any less impressive -- in fact, the lesser-known comics sometimes make the best movies.
Don't believe me? Here are five impressive films you might not know were based on comics...

Highlights, song choices and judges input from tonight's Top Ten Idol Guy Performances:
Michael Lynche--"This is a Man's World" (James Brown)--Rave reviews from all judges; Randy gave him a standing ovation. Simon said 'completely different from last week'. (Sure kept my attention!)
John Park-----"Gravity" (John Mayer)---Randy says it wasn't special with a few pitch problems. Ellen and Kara agree it was better than last week, but needed soul and connection to the audience. Simon says he thinks John will be returning to his own band this week. (Pretty forgettable.)
Casey James----"I Don't Wanna Be" (Gavin Degraw)---Randy praised his guitar playing, saying he was channeling Hendrix. Ellen says she wants to see him perform more. (??) Kara says Casey took two steps backwards for her and his singing wasn't distinct or on key. Simon says he was trying to be a rock star and agrees...

The second night of "American Idol" showcased the talents of the 12 guys who are hoping to win the "Idol" title -- and then America voted. On Thursday night, four will be sent home: two women and two men, taking us to next week and the Top 20. Todrick Hall kicked off the night with a unique version of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone." Ellen DeGeneres began the critiques, saying, "That is what you are looking for after you sing a song. [The audience reaction.] You are dancer, so you already have a stage presence. The chorus was rough. The singing wasn't the greatest, but a great performance." Randy Jackson said, "I think you are mad talented, but I didn't even know what song it was. You never want to take a song and completely obliterate it. I still want to see you sing." Kara DioGuardi added, "I think you are a strong...
