Brooke White's Sister: My Bridesmaid is Cardboard

As "Idol" contestant Brooke White mentioned last night, she must skip her sister's wedding this Saturday because of the show's rehearsal schedule -- but don't cry for her Argentina, she's found a way to be in both places at once!

Brooke -- and her family -- have come up with a creative solution: Michael Johns will go in her place They've built a cardboard cutout of Brooke to take her place. Paging Flat Stanley!

We're told all contestants know way in advance about the Saturday schedules, and are aware that they just can't miss the weekend rehearsal. "It's one of those sacrifices you have to make if you want to be a star," "Idol" Exec Producer Nigel Lythgoe tells us, adding, "It would be a shame if Brooke was kicked off the show because she hadn't properly rehearsed." Yes, that would be just awful!

16. Kick Brook to the curb. Kick Jason Castrated to the curb.

17. I think it would be a very hard decision to have to make to not attend your sisters wedding. I understand this is a chance of a lifetime, but really....how many times does your sister get married? I do believe family is the American way and to turn your back on family, well..not good.
I also wish to say I was very dissapointed in the America Gives Back show this year...Last year, I was moved beyond words, this year to much stuff....it was like watching Jerry Lewis's Telethon...now don't get me wrong, we need them and Jerry Lewis is the king of telethons, I just thought America gives Back was different. I still contributed, but it just was not the same this year.
As for Michael Johns elimination.....also, not good. You have a magnificent talent like Michael eliminated while you have Sayesha, (spelling?) continuing.. Here we had a man who spoke of Dreams and how this was his dream and then we have a beautiful young lady who can not accept the results. I was very offended when she argued with the judges (Simon) on Tuesday night. This show is a standard now....millions of people watch, many of which are young children looking for that chance at stardom...this should be an example of how if you work. practice and work some more your dreams may very well come true. The behavior Sayesha exibited is showing a very bad example....the judge is the judge they are there for a reason, good or bad..take the bad with the good Smile and say thanks...BTW, Simon may be tough but more often than not, he is right on, sometimes the truth hurts.

18. The only talented ones on the show are/were Michael Johns, David Cook and David Archuletta. Carly too. Kick the rest of them off, especially that he/she JASON CASTRATED.

19. Truly Brooke should just leave and go to the wedding. Of course, the cardboard has as much personality as Brooke does anyway so who will even notice she's not there?

27. What is truly awful is that she can't be there for this once in a lifetime event.
So what Nigel. Going to her sister's weddingis a risk she should be allowed to make. If does poorly, oh well, she made the choice.
Put the" cut out "on stage and go to your sister's wedding.
We live one life.
That is the problem with this world. Lack of quality of life, thanks to the employer, no matter who they are.
