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.

61. For the person who finds David A. boring, Whoever you are, if a nice example of what most teens should be bores you, If you think that kids with potential drug/alcohol addiction, disrespect for their parents and others are more exciting to you, well, I don't believe you have kids of your own and you shouldn't. David Archuleta is the best of all the contestants not only for his beautiful singing, he would be the best American Idol we ever had. I loved Ruben for the same reasons, I'm glad he won and I'm for David A. ALL THE WAY! GO DAVID and never change the way you are, God Bless you!

63. I personally think David Cook is one of the best on the show and I hope he wins it all. Go David!

64. How in Hell can you people KNOW that David Cook or anyone else is in LOVE with himself? Do you even have the slightest knowledge of the stress he is under with his gravely ill brother who is dying of cancer, or of his charity work with the little girl who has terminal illness? He has severe high blood pressure problems and at times he looks like he will keel over from the stress. You people make me sick with your crap. Let the show unfold as it will and enjoy it instead of trashing these young contestants. What the HELL is wrong with you dimwits? Have you no conscience of how hateful you are?

65. ok Music is a gift. A person either has it or they dont.
Michael Johns has more originality, strong vocals and talent than anyone left on the show. Will he win? I hope so with all my heart, however, Idol always ends up being a popularity contest rather than a talent contest.
With that said, all the young girls in America are voting for David Archiletta, who is talented, yes. But I believe he is too young , yet for the industry.
Brooke has a lot of talent. An awesome uniqueness, pretty vocals and can play the piano.
I hope she stays on through and that her and Michael get recording contaracts. I know I will buy their cd's.
The rest? Jason Castro..adorable and talented.
Sayesha..I really don't see anything special about her.
Many can just sing in this world, and half the time I cant understand what she is singing!!
Jason Cook..mmhhmm ok...
AND I AM THANKFUL AMANDA OVERMEYER IS GONE, SHE IS A WANNA BE AND A PAIN!!

66. All of you hating on David Cook, be quiet. His little sparrow ruled. I liked Amanda Overmeyer and Carly and Robbie Carrico from the beginning. STOP HATING ON DAVID COOK!!

David Cook winning AI!

67. DAVID COOK IS GOING TO WIN AND JASON CASTRO NEEDS TO GO!! HE SUCKS YOU TALK ABOUT KRISTY BEING SAFE AND BORING?? HE IS 10X WORSE AT LEAST KRISTY CAN SING!

68. David A. is so powerful and he should be given the chances he can get through Am Idol to further himself in the music field. He is the most humble young man and shoould really go far with all his talent given the opportunity.Good Luck David A.

69. Yes, it is time for Kristy lee cook to go! More importantly, however, it is time for Ryan Seacrest to be replaced. Most are sick of his juvenille comments and snide remarks to Simon. Grow up!

70. I agree we need to take care of our own first. We have a lot of starving and homeless and get more each year as our government keeps cutting back on assistance. We send millions to other countries, then we have siasters here and can't get enough help to our own. One example being New Orleans. I never give to things for other countries either. I know of many families here who need help.
As for who goes home it is obvious everyone has different tastes. I myself think Jason Castro should go home and should have a long time ago. Jason manages to stay in because of the teen girls, like Sanjaya did forever when he should have been long gone. My picks are:
1. Michael Johns
2. Syesha Mercado
3. David Archuletta
4. Carley Smithson
5. David Cook
6. Brooke White
7. Kristy Lee Cook
8.Ramiel Mulabay
9. Chickezie
10. Jason Castro

71. ppuuuuhhhlleeeeezzze!!!! David Cook is not going anywhere but to the finish.He and the other David are the only ones who have true talent. I don't like rock music but I know talent and David Cook has it.

72. CARLY ALL THE WAY! I LOVE HER VOICE AND SHE CAN SURE BELT THEM OUT. I CAN'T STAND THE DREAD LOCK BOY. REMINDS ME OF TINY TIM AND TIP TOEING THROUGH TULIPS. DAVID COOK IS FULL OF HIMSELF BROOKE IS SWEET AND WILL PROBABLY MAKE MUSIC LIKE CAROLE KING OR SOMETHING. LITTLE DAVID IS A GREAT SINGER BUT A BIT IMMATURE AT THIS POINT OH I CAN'T FORGET MICHAEL! GOD HE IS GOOD. KRISTY WILL GET A COUNTRY CONTRACT AND SHE DESERVES TO. I LIKE HER SWEETNESS.

73. COME ON PEOPLE TELL THE TRUTH. THE PAST FEW YEARS AMERICAN IDOL HAS REALLY SUCKED... THEY LAST GOOD YEAR WAS WHEN CARRIE UNDERWOOD WAS THERE. IF I HAD TO PICK I WOULD GO WITH KRISTA THE PEOPLE THAT PRODUCE THE SHOW NEED TO WAKE UP. I HAVENT WATCH IT AS MUCH THE PAST FEW YEARS LIKE I USED TO BECAUSE LIKE I SAID IT HAS REALLY WENT DOWN. THE JUDGES ARE STILL GOOD BUT THE TALENT IS NO LONGER THERE

74. Anyone that uses all capitol letters is in love with themselves!

75. I can see Sayeesha going home, she is talented there is no doubt about it, just doesn't seem idol-ish. Though he has a great voice I am so tired of David A. Does every song have to have a message, geez, sing something a little more fun you twerp.

michael johns all the way, he needs to do a ray charles song to lock it in
