Constantine -- Less Sucky Than First Believed

Constantine MaroulisLooks like season four "American Idol" loser Constantine Maroulis won't have to perform at bingo nights or food festivals anymore -- dude just got a Tony nomination!

The 33-year-old creepy singer is nominated for Lead Actor in a Musical for his work as Drew Bowie in the '80s themed "Rock of Ages."

It may not be a Jennifer Hudson Oscar or a Kelly Clarkson Grammy, but it beats working the day shift at Applebee's ... with "Idol" winners Taylor Hicks and Ruben Studdard.

Even more "sucky" is the b.s. "Louis Kestenbaum & Joel Kestenbaum, Fortis Property Group close sale of Galleria Towers" comments

18. Well, Connie is doing better than the 1000 other singers booted off the show. If one can get any sort of fame after being voted off, thats saying something, with the glut of losers.

22. Who really cares about him? Taylor and Rubin were both on Broadway. Most of all - WHY MUST YOU INVOKE A SNIDE AND REALLY UNNECESSARY COMMENT ABOUT TAYLOR HICKS whenever you are praising someone else?
That is really stupid and shows how TMZ is the real loser!!!Shame on you!!!!!! Taylor has had much success in many factions since he won American Idol and is still the best performer to ever be on the show. Stop dissing him and get the facts!!!!

23. Take that Simon and 19 Entertainment....the world has finally caught on to what I knew from the beginning of Season 4....Constantine is a STAR....and as for him performing at Food Festivals.....thank goodness for OPA fest in Troy, Michigan in June 2007.....not only did we get the pleasure of seeing him perform but he gave a shout out to my daughter during "My Favorite T-Shirt. Also my daughter and I have an awesome picture together with him....He is and always will be a STAR!!!

24. Good for Con, he deserves it to be honest.
He's always been an immensely talented individual and a really nice person.
And a Tony and Broadway is nothing to thumb your nose at.

25. I thought his name was Constipated! He needs a shower and cut that greasy hair.

26. You go Constantine! He is still incredibly hot. Glad he proved that he is not the joke most thought he was. I knew he wasn't

27. Congratulations Constantine on your Tony nomination.

28. Your immature and snide comments aside, Constantine has appeared in two Broadway shows, two off Broadway shows and a regional theater production.. It appears that Constantine is not to proud to go where ever the fans are. He has done a lot since leaving American Idol. But you wouldn't know that since you make up and believe your own reality.

29. It is a good thing he can sing... because if last names were to determine what you do in life, he'd be at the supermarket - produce department! In Greek the word maroulis means lettuce!

30. Oh god, Broadway must really be getting desperate if they nominate this creepy no-talent, sixth place LOSAH from a glorified karaoke show. Then again, it's a slow season. Broadway has definitely gone to hell now. At least it's likely he won't win.
