Crazazy TV Contraption Predicts "Idol" Losers

TiVoIf you want to place bets on "Idol" in Vegas, we think we found a way you could score millions of bucks.

TiVo may have cracked the mystery of who gets kicked off and who doesn't. Company insiders say they can predict who's not connecting by TiVo usage.

Here's the deal. In a sample of 20,000 users, TiVo monitors traffic -- which contestants get replayed (a sign of popularity) and which one's get fast-forwarded.

You think it's bogus? Well, the TiVo system has nailed who got booted four weeks in a row.

And who does TiVo say is getting the ax tonight? Poor Syesha. Take it to the bank, people.

K-Fed's Kids: Can't We All Just Get Along?

On an outing at the L.A. Zoo yesterday, Kevin's mama Julie had her hands full with the half-siblings, SPF and JJ from Britney and Kori and Kaleb from ex Shar Jackson ... though having a full-time nanny and bodyguard around can't hurt.


School Death Plot Targets ... Chuck Norris?!?


New Jersey cops have arrested two high school students after a teacher found a so-called "hit list" that targeted tough guy actor Chuck Norris. Holy Walker, Texas Ranger!

The students, both juniors at Pennsauken High School, didn't have any weapons on them. The note reportedly included the names of three students and, randomly, Norris.

The boys claim the list was a joke and the local prosecutor says "At this point we believe that this student did not pose any serious threat to any of the people on the list, especially to Chuck Norris." No sh*t.

Larry Craig Interns -- You're My Duty


Sen. Gloryhole Larry Craig is looking for interns -- and the webpage soliciting (yeah, we said it) his summer help is just pricelessly funny ... unintentionally, of course.

The site lays out his (wide) stance on intern work: "I prefer to offer a more diverse experience -- probably because I walked in their shoes back in 1969." Yes, he mentioned "shoes." It gets better: "Interns have the opportunity to gain a solid understanding of the inner-workings ... through hands-on experience." Our italics.

But remember: "Each participant is also assigned a variety of legislative duties." Duties: Those were his words.

137. i guess tivo was WAY wrong. michael johns is a phenomenal singer. aeysha isn't bad - certainly better than the country singing blonde (not brooke) but aeysha should be gone if not country-girl....i'm sure michael has a bright future ahead.

141. Michael Johns should NOT have gone home, he was one of the best!!!!! But I am soo super happy that David Archuleta is still on. Michael Johns should still be in the competition.

142. i think david archuletta should be gone.he is no idol and reminds me of opie.he cant sing any songs that have some pep to them.when he tried he screwed up.i don t think we need a young idol to be singing songs that put us to sleep.he may be clean cut now ,but give him some money and see what will happen then.he hasn t even reached the age where he can party,.get rid of the little opie

143. Guess what!?! Syesha did not go home TIVO!!! Glad I didn't take that one to the bank!! It was Micheal Johns, so what will be the theory next week..The country singing chick should definitely went home tonight, and next week the somewhere over the rainbow singer..UGH!!!

144. So the Tivo Box was wrong. Syesha wasn't voted off as predicted. They instead voted off Michael John. I think they made a big mistake. Kristy Lee Cook sings mostly country and the mentors yet to come on the show won't be doing counrtry, except maybe for maybe Neil Diamond.. She will have to show ahe can do other music besides country to stay afloat. Even if Simon says she belongs with country. I don't know how much long David Cook will last either. He can sing but I'm not sure if he will make it thru to the end.

145. SWEETMUSICMAN.... Thank you! Now we are judging based on someone's hair! GROW UP PEOPLE!!!
I hate TIVO got this wrong! There will be only one winner, it just seemed like it was the wrong time for Michael?!?!?
I guess it was scripted that Ryan remind the whole world that last year no one went home on this week and then turned around to say but not this year...... your outta here. Kind of like what happened with Joshuah during the auditions. We all fell in love with his story of trying to grow up too fast. P.S. Simon he has a record deal with a solid label. I guess the producers knew he needed the air time. Simon.. try staying up till 3am to pick the perfect song, having a discontect with the band and being so gracious as to thank them but stand solo. Hummmmmmmmm. I usually agree with Simon but you were wrong about him.

146. HaHAHA They were wrong....!!!!!!

147. Sayesha is so boring that it is amazing she is still on the show, but I would think the country western crap would go first. From the evidence, if you are only a mediocre singer, do country western on AI and you could still win. Sayesha is another of those cookie cutter singers that never do anything original and sound just like thousands of other singers who make it for a short time in the bubble gum music scene. Archeletta or David Cook are the singers who are obviously the best, but that does not always seem to matter on AI. Remember Hicks. The guy stinks, but somehow he wond. Something not kosher about that.

148. I think it's rigged because John Michaels should never have gone home. He is the best of all of them.

149. I WAS CRYING WHEN DAVID ARCHULETA DID NOT WIN AMERICAN IDOL. HE SHOULD HAVE WON. IT WAS IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT THE VOTERS WERE BEING REBELLIOUS AGAINST THE JUDGES BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT THE JUDGES WERE SAYING THAT THERE WAS "no competition" AND THAT "David Archuleta would probably win" BECAUSE HE SANG SO AMAZINGLY! AND ALL OF DAVID ARCHULETA'S FANS VOTED FOR DAVID COOK INSTEAD.....THAT IS NOT FAIR BECAUSE DAVID ARCHULETA LOST. I AM SOOO UPSET ABOUT THAT.

DAVID ARCHULETA---YOU MAY NOT BE AMERICA'S IDOL, BUT YOU ARE MY IDOL AND I LOVE YOU! CONGRATS ON MAKING IT THAT FAR!!!!!! YOU TOTALLY DESERVED TO WIN! YOU WON MY HEART!!
