Tonight's 5-1 loss by the Flyers at Montreal was ugly. (The Flyers still lead the series 2-1, so no need to panic.) The Canadiens came out desperate and the Flyers were perhaps overconfident -- I think they've shown that tendency in the last 2 years, even with the wild inconsistency of this season.
But I have found something worse. Much worse. This "artist" named Travis Garland, who is being hyped by Perez Hilton, was "performing" on last night's American Idol results show. Why is this person being promoted by Perez Hilton, and why was he allowed on the Idol stage? I have no idea. I'll venture some completely wild and unsubstantiated speculation that transfers of money and/or sexual favors were involved. Watch if you dare...

"That shouldn't discourage people from auditioning"? What I'm hearing is: "If you have superstar talent -- voice, dance moves, even songwriting ability -- but you're not pretty enough, you can audition if you want but you'll be wasting your time!" Yes, let's send the music industry spiraling into oblivion even more quickly.
The following has presumably been done many millions of times since Perez Hilton started his blog but hey, even though I'm a latecomer I'm still entitled to one:
Hilton encourages everyone to try out, but he does have strict guidelines as to who they’re looking for. “We don’t want any ugly ones,” he says. “We don’t want any Joey Fatones, if you know what I mean. So it’s not going to be easy. That shouldn’t discourage people from auditioning. We really wanna see everyone. [But] we don’t want anyone that’s, like, hideous. We want five Justin Timberlakes.”
