American Idol Trading Cards? Seriously?

Because American Idol wants to steal more money from kids, Fremantle has partnered with Upper Deck to put American Idol contestants on a new series of trading cards, available April 21. There are 138 cards in all. Cards will probably include a scratch and barf Constantine Maroulis, a much smaller than real life Jorbacca Sparks card (so the card wouldn't have to weigh 10,000 pounds), and a Jason Castro card that steals your money while you sleep. but we think the Paula abdul card (left) is a gross misrepresentation. Where's the slurring? Where's the vodka? Where's the ridiculous outfit? Worsters would obviously create a much better deck of cards, so post yours in the comments if you come up with anything better.

Um.... well duh, AI is gonna due whatever they can to make more money, along with every other popular TV shows. But TRADING CARDS???? Who in, earth and hell (Simon's native people), will buy those? I bet there is gonna be like the one special card that people all search for and buy more decks to get and it is gonna be of Kelly Clarkson. It will probably say 'The Original Idol' and then below it says 'Follow Your Dreams -Kelly Clarkson' or whatever.

This is just sad. I love American Idol (I just love this site, cuz I love the dirt and stuff) but SERIOUSLY? If these cards were truthful, Paula would be in a bar with her eyes rolling back in her head. And she would say 'Be a star and you just might become one'.

On the back of Adam Lambert's card it says "Did you know? Adam's secret talent is freckles!".

Look for cards featuring idols:

Michael Sarver, Lil Rounds, Mandisa, and now... Kelly Clarkson.

inside specially marked boxes of Hostess Cupcakes, Ding Dongs, Ho Hos, and Chocolate Donettes!

See if your ass can get as big as theirs!

Lambert FTW

Whoa, that was weird. I was wondering why my computer monitor just tipped over all by itself. I set it back up and a few minutes later it did it again. I thought maybe something was broken on it, but it was just that picture of Mandisa in the upper right hand corner.

I love how Paula's card continues the urban myth that she has been or ever will be a 'singer'.

Castro's card should have a pot leaf and a picture of Bob Marley as the background and the lyrics to Michelle My Belle on the back.
