American Idle

My favorite part of American Idol has begun - the auditions. I loose interest once they go to Hollywood but never miss the auditions. I love this freak show and Simon's snarky comments. It seems that Paula has decided to hit the bottle a bit earlier than past seasons. Usually she keeps her drunken behavior to interviews and Hollywood episodes but this season she must be partying like a rockstar on tour because she appeared completely smashed last night. Did you happen notice, during distant pan-shots, that she was sitting at that table constantly buttoning and unbuttoning her blouse? Speaking of last night's episode, why was Joan Collins sitting in as a judge?
