Because it's a silly, chilly Friday, let's have a silly and slightly chilling CotD, shall we? This one's from an American Idol recap, so many of you have probably not read it. But this comment needs to be read.

You there, Seacrest! What day is this? Oh I had the most wondrous vision last night. Last night I think I actually cared about this season of American Idol. I felt real feelings. Too bad they were angry feelings.

Well. I think it's official. Men are more interesting and better at things than women. Sorry JezeFriskyXX.com. It's just how things played out in the ol' game of evolution. I'm basing this on scientific Idol Evidence, mind you. Truly credible.

Tonight on American Idol, when Kara DioGuardi wasn't busy saying things that she should shut up about, Ellen DeGeneres took the opportunity—after resident hot thang Tim Urban's performance—to get out of her seat and hug him. Video inside.

Last month, we told you that Victoria Beckham was the worst American Idol judge ever. And like Richard Lawson predicted, we were wrong, because Kara DioGuardi is absolutely, unequivocally, indescribably worse than Posh. Or anyone. Inside, proof from tonight's episode.

It's time for your American Idol live blog! Tonight (9:00 PM ET on FOX), the Top 8 guys will perform live for your votes. More inside, along with your open thread and the best comments from the last two episodes.

Girls! All we really want is girls! Well, that's all we really wanted at the beginning of this season's competition, because a woman was due to win the crown. Now, three weeks in? We don't want that anymore.

It's Tuesday, and we all know what that means... it's time for another American Idol live blog. Tonight, the Top 8 girls will perform live for your votes at 8:00 PM on FOX. Come on in to your open thread!

St. Naomi uses her money to buy her way into heaven. Jon Gosselin has a small wang, The McSteamy's have a baby, Lindsay Lohan is doomed, and Angelina banged Mick Jagger. For Friday's gossip, you're stuck with me.

Four more down and only four more to go until we're really into this thing, and how do we stand? We stand not very well. We stand somewhat better than we did a week ago, but still on troubled ground.

Last night it was time for the women to sing for their beautiful, diamond-encrusted supper. How'd they do? Ohh, you know, this is the Season of Horrors, so not terribly well. But not terribly, either.

It's no secret that Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell bicker like a married couple on nearly every episode of American Idol, but it's never earnest. Tonight—after Cowell harshly judged excessively smiley finalist Haeley Vaughn—that all changed. Video inside.

Tonight on Idol (8:00 PM ET on FOX), the Top 10 girls will perform live for your votes—or will it be the Top 9? More inside, along with your open thread and the best comments from last night.

Well they really tried, didn't they? After last week's unmitigated disaster, all the singing kids had to do their best to buoy this season back up. Did they succeed? Did they fail? Yes on both counts!

It's Tuesday, so you know what that means: this... is your American Idol open thread. Tonight (at 8:00 PM ET on FOX, and for two hours), the Top 10 guys perform live for your votes. More inside. Come on in!

Let's take a brief moment to discuss last night's first big eliminations episode. Are you surprised? Disappointed? Thrilled to the point of exploding?

There's one big problem with the Olympics: nothing else is on television! So, until everyone gets back to ignoring Canada, take a look at how Jimmy Kimmel improves on the only things you're watching on TV right now.

Going home the first week is always hard, but it looks like two of tonight's American Idol eliminees just didn't get the "You have to be gracious" memo. At least Allison Iraheta was having a good time! (Post contains spoilers.)

Here come the men! Well, boys, I suppose. Young men? Whatever they were, they sang last night. And, after the fairly disastrous ladies, hopes were high. Were they satisfied? Ohhh. I don't know. I don't think so?

We thought about introducing our live blog for American Idol once the Top 12 was solidified, but then realized: why wait? So, here it is! Tonight, the Top 12 guys perform live for your votes at 8:00 PM on FOX.
