A barrage of spam has hit me in the last couple of hours. So from now on, you’ll need to provide an email address if you want to comment. For most of my regular commenters, this probably won’t be a big deal, but some visitors like to stay anonymous. Just know that any email address you enter will NEVER be visible to anyone but me. We’ll see if that helps reduce the amount of spam that gets through. If not, I may have to go to a fully moderated system.

Update: Meh. All comments now have to be approved. I’ll try and remove that limitation soon, but until then, I’ll just have to play moderator.

Since when did American Idol become a red-carpet worthy event? Do you know that, right now, on TV, they are showing the American Idol Live Red Carpet?

I seriously DO NOT understand! I mean, I get that people really like the reality show itself–I used to watch it. It’s totally rags-to-riches, dream-come-true stuff. So it’s not that I don’t get the buzz surrounding the show.

But does it deserve a red carpet gab fest outside the Kodak Theatre? I mean, hell, Jillian Barberi is wearing JEANS. NO ONE should wear JEANS while interviewing anyone on the red carpet outside the freakin’ Kodak Theatre. Right there, you know American Idol isn’t important enough to have this silly red carpet thing.

Needless to say, I won’t be watching it tonight. But Altouse has been blogging it. Check there for more about tonight’s show.
