The Idol Rich

No political content really, but a rare interesting and detailed account of entertainment industry economics with this article from Variety on who is making what from American Idol, and why.

Don't forget to download my songs. They are free and what's better I don't sing on all of them. Quick, easy, cheap:

Disclaimer: I don't make any money when you download these songs. In fact, it costs me money to make them available to you.

Posi-Claimer: Oh, and the songs are genius in a way songs on American Idol are not. Although I have brokered a minor trademark deal or 2 in my time, nothing like the action at the linked article from Variety>/i>, I must admit.

I think they should make the American Idol finalists go on Fear Factor.

I think they should make Katherine McPhee perform nude.
