And I thought Gene Simmons was a souless, sleazy money-grubber!

It's a fairly genious move, though, gotta admit. As awful as it sounds (based on the Amazon previews) it'll probably make them more money from radio royalties in the long run than the rest of their catalogue.

I suppose there are only so many ways you can sell the same orange-and-purple-vinyl bench seat in a beat-to-shit Cressida before you need to mix it up.

Every time I see Scott Storch's name, I mix it with Scott Stapp and uncontrollable rage overcomes me.

And that JoJo chick isn't even LEGAL yet? Goddamn, they are really starting to look old way too young.

(Think "His Royal Badness" or "The Velvet Fog.") The fact that he's pimping himself with that tired phrase - which nine-tenths of his "fans" have likely forgotten by now - shows how sad his "career" has become.

I think Studdard now qualifies as the first full-on flame-out of an Idol winner, given than Clarkson, Barrino and Underwood all have actual multiplatinum careers. Prediction: Hicks will be the second.
