Star Catcher
Daughtry's Selfish "Idol" Prediction

Jordin Sparks and Blake Lewis may have made it to the final two on "American Idol" but Chris Daughtry doesn't think either will win. Huh?!

TMZ spotted the last season's resident guy-linered rocker outside Hyde last night with his band, aptly named Daughtry, where he told cameras, "I think we could win this year." Sadly, we don't remember hearing Seacrest read off the 866 number to vote for him after his performance in the finale.

Fans were rabid for celebs leaving the premiere of "Mr. Brooks," and while the film's star, Kevin Costner, stopped to sign autographs and take pictures with them, Dane Cook and Bruce Willis breezed past the entire group. Yippie-ki-yay mother lover!

Also out last night were a charmingly threatening Damon Wayans, Brian McKnight, Babyface, a studly Michael Vartan, Lance Bass and the always bearded Billy Gibbons.

All this and more in today's false idol edition of Star Catcher.

31. Haha, TMZ is smart. This story goes along with the one about Taylor being a big flop. That one got so many hits on the site, they figured this one would too. However, at the same time, their parent company (or partner), AOL, is featuring Chris as the NUMBER ONE idol who didn't win but is much better off because he didn't. Taylor Hicks is having his final showing tonight, with that incredibly stupid song that STEALS some runs from Ray Charles. Honestly, I'm surprised Taylor hasn't put his own eyes out and darkened his skin by now. He is obsessed with being Ray Charles. Or Elvis. I'm sure he'll put back on the weight he lost, and then some, once he's out of the spotlight again. He's so ridiculous.

32. Douchebag and a poser..looked like a complete idiot last night with the eye makeup. Dork's ego can barely fit in that big pasty bald head of his!

33. i don't know why his ego is so big,
if it wasn't for american idol, he never would've been signed. nobody wanted him before it. so he's not that great. DAUGHTRYFan, posers can sell records. most people are posers now anyways.

34. Here we go...Chris makes a joke, and there are always some dorks who take him seriously...He smirked...He was kidding...
AND he never said ANYTHING about Jordin or Blake...and c'mon let's face it, this year sucked compared to prior years....and I'm NOT taking anything away from Jordin...because I DO believe she has it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy over Blake.

They're a nice, caring bunch of guys....down to earth and REAL, unlike this article.

36. You can tell he was joking. That was him being goofy. Leave the guy alone and as far as his talent goes. Look at the CD sales and all the sold out shows.

38. Chris was obviously joking, and it was funny. People need to get a sense of humor! geesh!

39. Taylor had on something that looked like silver eyeshadow to match his shimmery silver coat. He is the Liberace of American Idol. He forgot the words to his own song halfway through. Nice way to grease the slide down to oblivion.

40. Um.. a lot of rock stars have kids. Having kids is a part of life dummy #3.

41. If I was Blake or Jordin, I would be insulted. I don't find what he said to be funny. It's very mean of him to say that. Have a heart. Chris had his shine. Let those 2 get their shine now. Is he jealous cuz he didn't win A.I.? I hope not cuz he has nothing to be jealous of. I'm just sayin, what does he care? That was a stupid comment.

42. All of you that are leaving nasty comments about Chris Daughtry are...BOTTOM FEEDERS ...whose lives are in the toilet. and have no success in your own life.

Don't you realize what Chris said was ...just joking around..and TMZ was being snarky..(that's what they ...TMZ...do..and their site is so popular)

Chris is everything ....that ....you negative guys..won't be...!!!!! HUGELY SUCCESSFUL

Nuff said!!!!

43. For the bashers who had gray matter leaking out of their orifices- it's time to fix that coz you cant recognize sense of humor and witticism if it bites you in the nose. The remark was meant to be funny and self deprecating since he didnt win last season. What he said should not be taken out of context and mistaken for something else entirely. I dont get it. Chirs was criticised as being grumpy and stoic, but when he cracked a joke, you think he's bragging. Mental exercise people and crank up you humor meter!!

And, So what if he has a wife and 2 kids and flaunt that fact? That's what makes him real, not a poser! Other new artists bank on their being single and available to have a better appeal to the audience. But Chris had always shown how much of a family man he is and that what makes him admirable and a cut above the rest of other veterans in the industry. A pretender you say? Why? Because he's not the typical rocker who gets drunk all the time? He doesnt wreck hotel rooms and furnitures? Because he's not the type who can barely get a coherent syllable out of his mouth when interviewed because they're brain dead with drugs? He is not the real thing because his lyrics are clean, that his fanbase range from all ages? That his songs can be sang by children and parents need not censor the words?that his album is great but he sounds even better live? Dont you dare judge a person because he doesnt fit to your perverted standards. He is a musician first and foremost and one of the best there is. If he is so unimportant, then why do you even bother to talk about him?

45. Chris Daughtry was one of the poorest losers I've ever seen on Idol. The look on his face the night he lost was so hateful and he never congratulated Katherine McPhee. I liked him until that night and after his reaction that night, I could never stand him again and would never liten to his music. His ego is disgusting. Even Melinda Doolittle, who was definitely the best singer in this year's Idol, was so gracious the night she had to leave. She congratulated both Jordin and Blake.
