Homeless "Idol" Kicked Back to the Curb
This year's most tragic castoff, Josiah "I Live in My Car" Leming, got another dose of eff-off from "A.I." -- as he was sent packing from the finale after party at Skybar last night.

12. He seems like a good-natured kid with a positive attitude. He could have gone all divo, but he took it in stride.
Keep your chin up, kid. L.A.'s a rough town.

15. Awweee, I love Josiah. Don't be so rough on him. He's actually fantastic. Definitely check out his myspace page /josiahleming and you can listen to his original music. Truly a gifted artist in the making and when his CD comes out in September (through Warner Bros) you guys will remember this kid!!
As a side note, the whole story about him being 'the homeless kid' living in his car was all trumped up by the AI producers. He was actually traveling the country in his car, performing and sharpening his musical talents. I sort of like the whimsical, free spirited approach to seeing the country.
