46. OK, I agreed that he shouldn't ask for hand outs. But I just watched the video closely, and he's not asking for hand outs. Yet another FAKE FARTICLE from TMZ. If you look up in comments you will see they fooled me. So it's not that I'm a Ruben fan. I just hate TMZ.

TMZ YOU SUCK! as usual.

49. Wow. Can't believe that Kris Allen won. Ultimately, a vote for Kris is a vote for optimism. With his warm smile, Kris won out over the more talented Adam Lambert.
