AI Now is hosting a chat with some Idol contestants this Wednesday at 1 PM Eastern. We encourage you to show up for various reasons. First, the talented Felicia Barton will be there. Then, the guy with all the VFTW potential in the world, Nathaniel Marshall, will also chat. But the most intriguing will be Ju'Not Joyner's chat at 2 PM. We've been told that he wants to get the "truth about Idol" out there, says that "Idol isn't all it's cracked up to be" and wants to talk about how Ken Warwick is running American Idol into the ground. So let's get some Worsters in the chat to ask some good questions. If you can't make the chat, post your questions here and we'll pass them on to someone who can attend. Good times.

JoesPlace has updated her top 50 list today. Here are the contestants that we know are definitely in this year's top 50. If they make the next cut, they are in the top 36, and will compete for our votes.

Angela Martin, Emily Wynne-Hughes, Jackie Tohn, Jakob McKay, Ju'Not Joyner, Justin Williams, Michael Bartul, Ryan P.A. Johnson, Stephen Fowler, Taylor Vaifanua, and T.K. Hash.

If you know anything about these contestants (especially Michael, Stephen, and T.K., since we know so little about them), let us know, anonymity guaranteed.

We keep getting spoilers from our dedicated readers, so thanks! If you have any information you can share with us, please do. We will keep your name anonymous.

We've gotten word from even more sources that David Osmond was definitely cut in Hollywood for singing terribly. It isn't looking good for him! Some early standouts we're hearing about are a pianist named Stephen Fowler, last year's Hollywood contestant Angela Martin, a goth guy named Adam, and a guy named Ju'Not that Paula has the hots for.

Also, we've been hearing from multiple sources that there will be more than a top 24 this year. It's rumored that there is a top 36 instead. Sounds like it might be a giant group to hide some plants in? Guess we'll see what happens. A top 36 could be interesting. 

Edited to Add: UPDATE. Sharon Wilbur was cut during Hollywood. Yay! And Ju'Not's full name is Ju'Not Joyner. Apparently Ju'Not was the "star" of Hollywood. Also, Adam seems to be openly gay.
