Remember how awesome Queen was back when? Well, you're not going to like this. Desperate for attention, Queen has decided to tour the country with American Idol 8 loser Adam Lambert. Seriously. Apparently neither side thought about what a bad idea this is. The surviving members of Queen clearly don't realize Adam Lambert has basically no fan base and no hit songs, so this will draw in next to nobody. And Adam Lambert didn't realize that the only people more washed up than he is are the former members of Queen, who need to pull stunts like this to capture anyone's interest. Freddie Mercury would be rolling over in his grave, but he's too busy plotting the demise of his former band members after hearing this news to do so.

We're sure this news will provide some fun fodder to point and laugh at in the coming months.

EDITED TO ADD: Oh, for fuck's sake. Adam made the entire thing up to get some publicity for his new single and he's saying a reporter "misquoted" him. This douchebag is beyond pathetic.

The Idol season 10 contestants all seem to be getting record deals like no other season before (except maybe season 5). So hey, putting entertaining and fun people on the show really does pay off, huh? VFTW favorite Naima Adedapo is the latest to get a record deal. She's been signed to Peak Records and will have a 3 song EP produced by Warryn Campbell, who has produced for Kanye West and Trey Songz. Not too shabby. Only 2 words seem appropriate for this announcment: BOOM FIRE!

Sometimes people live in a tent in the woods because they love the great outdoors. And sometimes people live in a tent because they are a big drunk, like Amy Brumfield. Idol exploited Amy as someone who has fallen on tough financial times. Maybe she has this money problem from paying all the fines for being arrested at least six times in the past seven years, including multiple arrests involving booze. One particularly VFTW arrest was when Amy got busted in 2010 for being so intoxicated that she peed herself in a Baskin Robbins!

Hey Amy, stop spending money on hideous tattoos and booze, take a bath, get a job and start paying rent like everyone else.

Julissa Veloz released a video of an acoustic performance of her new single "Very Brady Day." What do you think? It seems like a somewhat new direction for her, though we don't know what the full version sounds like yet.

(None of these contestants are 100% confirmed in Hollywood, but we have sources that suggest they've made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol)

Daniel Murillo, who is a touring member of the band Hollywood Undead, has apparently made it to Hollywood for season 9 of American Idol. The guy sings and looks like a complete douche. If this is what we can expect from him, hopefully he's cut early, because he doesn't seem like the type to play to VFTW.

UPDATE: Reign in Blonde, a metal blog run by females, wrote to us to mention that they had posted about Daniel a few days back, and one of the Hollywood Undead's unintelligent fans dropped in to defend the band.

UPDATE #2: As never having heard a Hollywood Undead song before, we listened. The first one we heard was called Dead in Ditches with the lyrics "That's when we ride on bitches/you fucking faggot snitches/so don't you try/we're packing 9's/we'll leave you dead in ditches". Lovely.

Reed Grimm is a frontrunner for the VFTW vote, and these pictures just help his cause.

The Idol Pad has released the top 24 list and here it is.

MALES

6. Haley Johnsen
7. Hallie Day
8. Hollie Cavanagh
9. Jen Hirsh
10. Jessica Sanchez
11. Shannon Magrane
12. Skylar Laine

What do you think of this list? Anyone missing that you wish would have made it? And who's the most likely VFTW pick from those we know so far?

EDITED TO UPDATE ON 1/24: Looks like Colton Dixon is in, Clayton whateverhisnameis is out. Ugh.

Idol Maniac sent us an email and pointed out something very interesting -most of  the rest of the Idol audition episodes this season are basically not worth watching. Out of the top 24, we've already seen 18 of them in Pittsburgh, Savannah, and San Diego. So only 6 people are left. In tonight's Aspen episode, no one makes the top 24. No one makes it from East Rutherford or St. Louis makes it either. One person from Portland (Haley Johnsen) and 5 make it from Houston (Baylie Brown, Hollie Cavanagh, Jen Hirsh, Skylar Laine, and Joshua Ledet).

So what do we suggest? Well it's barely worth watching the next few weeks so just tune out until Hollywood or  voting starts. Maybe watch Houston. Then again, we never actually suggest watching this show.

David Archuleta is now saying that he is now leaving the music industry to become a full-time Mormon missionary for two years. According to Yahoo! Music, David made this announcement at a concert in Salt Lake City. We're sure this has nothing to do with David's album sales drying up and the fact that no one's buying his music anymore. We admit, we'll miss the little bugger and his asexual ways. He's a nice enough kid and at least he know his place in the music industry (ahem, Carly Smithson, we're looking at you). So we wish him luck with converting people or whatever he's going to do now.

Steven Tyler performed the National Anthem before the Patriots/Ravens game today. Though performed is probably too nice of a world. Murdered. Destroyed. Shat upon. Those are better. This guy is judging people's singing - and we love it. Don't ever change, Steven.
