Constantine -- Less Sucky Than First Believed

Posted May 5th 2009 10:20AM by TMZ Staff

Looks 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.

31. I was shocked that he got a TONY --He's good but a TONY? But coulnd't be any prouder of him. He's an smart, well read, charming guy who's got pipes. He got a little too close to some of his fans and that mucked him up a bit because every move he mad after that was considered a snub. I think he was just figuring his way around and made some bad choices in who the royal poker should enter. If he is a bit more careful and doesn't sleep with the 2 biggest mental cases on the planet, he'll be alright. I feel bad that you sought out 2 of this crazies without realize what stalking with ensue. Might be time to file the stalking charges--you'd have enough of us to back you up. Soon as Rori said "I'm his biggest fan and if you don't believe me I'll cut you" I knew you had a bonifide pyscho on your hands. Now she sadly didn't get poked but she did in her dream so you have to now be careful of the psycho friends of the mental case stalker chicks. AH just go have fun. You deserve it! Enjoy your Tony nom! No you probably won't win but you know that and how cool is to be honored. And the KC, ANgie Rori twat sniffers - I bet they won the we have no life we hate everyone and we masturbate to sleep award. Yah team!
