Are You Trying Out at the Denver Auditions?
Idiots Protest the Idol Concert Because Adam Lambert is Gay
We always thought the obsessed American Idol viewers were the dumbest people in the world. Well, we were wrong. These people (pictured) are. AI Now is reporting that a few pathetic morons stood outside the American Idol concert in San Jose to protest because Adam Lambert is gay. Seriously? They're protesting the fact that a gay man is singing karaoke songs? The bigoted protesters might want to hit up every karaoke bar in the country then. Apparently the morons are saying that anyone who watches the concert is going to hell. This is true, but not because Adam is gay. It's because the concert is basically a few hours of musical hell. Some of the singers are decent, but watching them sing other people's songs for hours is not exactly interesting.
"No Boundaries" Sucks So Much, It's Been Kicked Off the Tour
Kara DioGuardi's masterpiece of crap "No Boundaries" was such an embarrassment that it was funny to see Kris Allen and Adam Lambert have to pretend to like the song during this year's Idol finale. Well people must have booed the song on tour, because now it's been completely removed according to the New York Post. Now Kris Allen is singing the Killers' "All These Things That I've Done" (above) instead. At least Kara's lame song will be taken out back and finally put out of its misery. RIP "No Boundaries", the worst Idol winner's song ever.
Blake Lewis - Sad Song Preview
A preview of Blake Lewis's new song "Sad Song" leaked. And it sounds exactly like his last album that he apparently wants to depart from. The song is boring, cliche, and unlikely to become popular. Even he can do better.

Ryan Seacrest Is In on the Pay Increases Too
It's not just the judges of Idol who are making beaucoup bucks to stick around. Ryan Seacrest made $5 million this year for Idol, but he's in talks to make a lot more next season according to THR.com. Seacrest is also in talks to produce shows with 19Evil. Well, they can't be any stupider than Simon's failure of a show Cupid. Currently though, Ryan produces Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Denise Richards: It's Complicated. So we know he loves train wrecks almost as much as we do.
UPDATE: The deal is final. Ryan is now making $45 million over the course of 3 years. He also signed a contract to host any CKX (19 Entertainment's parent company) that might succeed Idol. Looks like even the producers know Idol isn't going to last much longer.
Cody Sheldon Sighting at the Orlando Auditions
One of the Worsters who tried out in Orlando said that they saw Cody Sheldon there. This kid just doesn't give up, huh? He was rejected at the Chicago auditions, but we're not sure what happened to him in Orlando yet. If you've heard, let us know. Also, share your Orlando audition experiences with us for the piece we're putting together, or if you're trying out in Denver as a last shot, let us know about that too.
Update: Cody made it to the next round.
Leslie Hunt - American Dream Man Video
We missed this earlier, here's the video of Leslie's single American Dream Man which is available on her site for free. So go get it!
The last American Idol 9 cattle call is today in Denver. So if you're trying out, e-mail us with your audition story so we can use it in the piece that VFTW is putting together on this year's auditions. Anonymity guaranteed if you want it. And if you tried out in any other city too, you can still send those stories in as well. We've got some good stuff, but we can always use more. Good luck, Worsters! Look for a piece on the auditions coming in a bit. And good luck to the Worsters who made round 2! Make us proud and piss off the producers.
