Celebrity Buzz Dane Cook's girlfriend, Raquel Houghton, is an American Idol star. Houghton - who used to be a singer with a group called The Valli Girls - is apparently way better at singing stuff than she is at choosing boyfriends. Dane Cook is appearing at the New York comedy festival on November 5.
Simon Cowell gave the 27-year-old teacher a standing ovation on The X Factor, possibly making him the Susan Boyle 2.0 of a different British talent competition. (Video embedding is disabled, but you should click through, it's worth it.)
Better known as “Glitter Girl,” Alexis Cohen tried out for American Idol twice and each time was slightly miffed when she was told she just wasn't right for the show. And by “slighty miffed” I mean she game some serious middle finger action — alas, a star was born. After disappearing Sadly, yesterday the Idol wannabe was hit by a car and killed. The case is currently being investigated as a homicide. Good thing that in heaven, everyone makes it to Hollywood — and Glitter Girl can put those middle fingers away, for good.
20/20 wants you to know Adam Lambert is gay, and they will stop at nothing - including cheesy 90's dance music and a quick clip in which a fey stylist flirts with him - to let you know. If only Hugh Downs were around to say “bi-curious” on air. MISS U HUGH )-:

Blogosphere fave Michelle Collins (of Best Week Ever) interviewed her own personal Idol, runner-up Adam Lambert, and kind of vomited all over the place with excitement (metaphorically speaking, of course). Among other things, you'll learn that Glambert's is more of a Sex And The City guy than he is a Golden Girls fan. Which is a shame, as we were just starting to like him.
TV Buzz AT&T may have “influenced” Kris Allen's win after they providing phones (with text-messaging services and lessons) to parties organized by fans of the Arkansas-bred kewpie. Theory: the blind guy was in the lead all along! Has American been cheated out of its own Andrea Bocelli-Gene Wilder hybrid?

Can Google search trends predict who's going to win American Idol?
Because you know everyone will be talking about it tomorrow. And you don't really want to have to watch it, right?
Last night, not-so-secret cross-dresser and American Idol contestant scared the sh*t out of America (or, at least, Randy Travis and I) with his bizarre, smug, cheesalicious desecration of Johnny Cash classic “Ring of Fire.” It seems inevitable that the musical theater vet will soar through the competition, but not without polarizing the audience in the same way he completely confused Randy Travis, who claimed Lambert “threw [him] for a loop…although he seems like a very nice guy.” (Southern gentlemanly translation: “…the f*ck?”)

With all the recent hubub surrounding Twitter (from Diddy to Jimmy Fallon), it's hard to forget that there are still plenty of things more popular than Twitter. On the list of 100: AOL subscriptions, American Idol, and yes, even 'Please Hammer Don't Hurt'em' by tweeting celeb MC Hammer.
Celebrity Buzz Kelly Clarkson sings in the rain, pees in the shower. Admitting it, she boldly claimed, “Anybody who says they don’t is lying.” Well, you caught me Kelly. It's just easier that way, and besides, it doesn't get the bathroom floor all wet! You're the one who told everybody though.
TV Buzz Tonight's American Idol voting may get (literally) screwed up, thanks to an odd number of contestants and Hot Horny Girls. Since there are 13 contestants tonight (rather than the usual 12), American Idol needs one more consecutive toll-free number in its 1-866-IDOLS lineup. Unfortunately, the 866 numbers on either end of Idol's lines are taken by phone sex operations. This is the perfect excuse for 12-year-olds to call an “adult” number and not get yelled at.
Photos have surfaced of American Idol contestant Adam Lambert - the musical theater-y one with the haircut your mom had in 1987 - kissing boys while costumed as some sort of glamazon trannie. As far as we're concerned, the dude can do whatever he wants, as long as he never decimates another Rolling Stones song again.
Celebrity Buzz In case you thought Simon Cowell would one day die and go to heaven with the rest of the human race, you were dead wrong. Instead, Cowell plans to freeze his body so he can one day triumphantly return to smack down generation after generation of American Idol hopefuls. Thank you, Science.

The New York Post is reporting that two fan websites for American Idol leaked the Top 36 that will compete for the 12 finalists slots. Some of the 36 have not yet been seen on TV. ( Article Link has spoilers)
Celebrity Buzz Katrina Darrell, aka Bikini Girl, who last night kissed the affable perineum of American Idol (Ryan Seacrest), has somewhat of an impressive online presence. There's her website, which is totes “official”, some YouTube vids, and a couple of recently created Facebook groups. Learn her.
The “gentler” American Idol kicked off last night with Ryan Seacrest embarrassing a blind guy. I hope they keep this contestant on long enough for Paula to interact with him. Ryan's weird little hand massage is nothing compared to the television she'll provide.

IS YOUR NANA THE NEXT SENIOR IDOL? Seriously, she might be. There's no age limit in this competition, where seniors take the stage to sing, dance, and win cash and prizes. There's something so charmingly wrong about the whole thing. (Thanks Urlesque!)

The setup: “It was a pajama party for the girls, and they were going to watch the finals of American Idol. The two singers in the final were David Cooker and David Archuleta. The girls were all fans of David A. They hoped he would win. You can imagine their disappointment when they learned that the other David had won! Check out the girl in orange; she makes it all worth it.”
