Before today's game between the Lions and the Packers, Lauren Alaina got booed for forgetting the words to the National Anthem and then pausing while she thought of them. Since it's Thanksgiving, maybe she should've been thankful for cue cards or something to help her out. American Idol contestants can't seem to sing the National Anthem correctly, yet that's about the only work they seem to get. Ironic, isn't it?

Soft focus close-ups for the win. Clips of Lauren Alaina's crazy ass mom for the double win!

Is it a beached whale? Or a lunar eclipse? No, it's Lauren Alaina's swollen ankle after she fell down the stairs just before her performance on the Idol tour (yes, there's still an Idol tour. Betcha' didn't know that!) Lauren's making a habit of falling down stairs; is it that she can't fit on stairs, or she's too stupid to figure out how to use them?

Lauren's body isn't the only thing falling quickly as she and Scotty are quickly falling off the charts!

Mercury Nashville has officially signed Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina. Wonder who's going to get fired over that one. Scotty's single does seem to have debuted well on country radio at first glance, breaking the record for "highest debut by a new artist." But if you look into it, the last person to break the record was Nashville Star season 2 winner Brad Cotter. And what happened to him? Has anyone even heard of him? We do hope for hilarity's sake that Scotty gets a small career out of this that will be fun to track. The hicks seem to be eating the Scotty music up so far. Unfortunately for Lauren, it looks like not much is happening with her except massive amounts of airbrushing for her promo pictures. 124,000 digital downloads of a song is kind of sad for someone who was just on a TV show with 20 million people watching.
