During last night’s episode of American Idol, Carly Smithson (née Hennessy) came sorta-clean about her major-label past, talking about how her label “imploded” after her album came out–although said label, MCA, didn’t so much “implode” as “get absorbed by Geffen a few months after that Wall Street Journal piece about the piles and piles of money they spent on her came out.” And Carly’s mention of her current job highlighted another interesting detail about that story that has nothing to do with major-label excess: It reports, in its closing, Carly getting her first tattoo (”an intricate cross on the small of her back that she hopes will impress her fans”)–and now she owns a whole parlor! Crazy, right?

so, which major label’s money did she buy the tattoo shop with?
The small of her back? She put her religious symbol as a tramp stamp?
Come on, even strippers don’t do that…
Well at least we can use this as an experiment to see just how fake the show really is. I’m sure most of the AI truefans will not vote for this chick (no matter how well she sings). When we see how “America votes” and she’s still in the contest week after week, we’ll know for certain that it’s all fixed from the beginning.
Am I the only one that thought she was awful last night? Randy and Paula were showering her with their typical Carly-love-fest, but thankfully Simon spoke the truth.
I wonder if the fact Randy Jackson was an A&R guy at MCA when they signed her has any impact on his love of her?!
@kityglitr: If the votes don’t turn out how kityglitr would like it’s rigged!
Don’t be an idiot.
Hello! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any recommendations, please share. With thanks!
