		<title>&#8216;Idol&#8221;s big reveal, part 2: Hey, judges, Leave them kids alone!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I said yesterday, I didn&#8217;t watch a lot of the auditions, because the clowns finally broke me down. So I didn&#8217;t have an emotional attachment to most of these folks, but it was still rough to watch some of the little hearts breaking. And while I remember Simon Cowell seemed to glow with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hear Howard Stern give me a hard time on Sirius&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  &#8230;in 1996! Sixteen years today, Howard Stern asked me how many white guys I&#8217;d slept with and tried to get my former Burger King manager from high school to make out with me. Trust me &#8211; this is not a date that lingered long in my brain, although the actual events are still fairly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Local funny guy mixes Adele, politics for &#8220;Someone Other Than Newt&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frustrated with the current crop of Republican presidential hopefuls? You&#8217;re not alone. But local actor Frank Licari, director of the Atlantic Academy of the Arts and host of televised talent competition &#8220;Recreating a Legend,&#8221; has taken his angst to song. And like many current &#8220;American Idol&#8221; contestants, he&#8217;s involved Adele. http://www.youtube.com/embed/bVN6RFis7E8 Behold &#8220;Someone Other Than [...]]]></description>

Well, ten years ago, when the then-crazy sounding talent show started, I was in my living room in York, Pa., asking my roommate &#8220;Are you watching this?&#8221; Yeah, she was, and 10 years later [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;American Idol&#8217; returns: Will it rival buzz of &#8216;The X Factor&#8217;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all know that Simon Cowell&#8217;s boasts about how the American version of &#8220;The X Factor&#8221; was gonna eat &#8220;American Idol&#8221;&#8216;s lunch and then hit it in the head with its own lunchpail didn&#8217;t quite come to fruition, ratings-wise, but the show certainly maintained a viewership and, most importantly, a pop culture buzz.

		<title>Dutch magazine slurs Rihanna, and gets offended that she was offended</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  I am almost loathe to write about this, because the feedback could be brutal. But I must. Apparently, some Dutch fashion magazine called Jackie thought it would be nifty and funny to do a fashion spread about how to dress just like Rihanna. I know lots of people who would love to dress like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bryan Callen&#8217;s deliciously silly set draws laughs at The Improv</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bryan Callen&#8217;s set at The Palm Beach Improv on Saturday night was a reminder that physical comedy is about much more than falling funny. It&#8217;s about turning ones entire body into a prop, telling your story in the way you contort your face, the direction of your arms, a deliberate but exaggerated crouch. When done [...]]]></description>

		<title>The war on Santa: Why are holiday commercials so mean?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know the world in its current economic state is a leaner, meaner, less stardusty place, but is that any reason to be materialistic, ungrateful, present-grubbing brats? And to take  that out on Santa Claus? He&#8217;s a jolly old elf, dagnabit! Remember in the beginning of the recession, when commercials  were all about celebrating sacrifice, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Def Leppard and Heart bring sing-along &#8217;80s fun to Cruzan</title>

Last night&#8217;s tour opener for Def Leppard and Heart at Cruzan Amphitheatre was decidedly NOT one of those shows. Arms were raised, feet were stomped, heads were [...]]]></description>

But I think Lauren&#8217;s going to take it, if only because of the blatant Jedi mind tricking of the judges and the producers, as well as Lauren&#8217;s scary but conveniently pimped vocal crisis. I think he earned it. But the show obviously has other plans. EW.com&#8217;s Kate Ward referred to her inner critic Hulk [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m happy to say that Jacob went out on a half-high note (a mid-note?) &#8220;No Air,&#8221; his first song on &#8220;Then and Now&#8221; night was a hot griddled mess, but his shockingly understated turn on Nazareth&#8217;s &#8220;Love Hurts&#8221; was lovely.
