The other night, during Season Eight auditions on American Idol, Simon Cowell — who never has difficulty conjuring up an opinion — took aim at contestant Anoop Desai. Although he got four thumbs up on his vocals, Cowell was unimpressed with his attire, "It looks like you just came out of a meeting with Bill Gates or something," he said. I loved the tech talking!

I had a kid come up to me once at an airport to tell me that the handle on my guitar (Guitar Hero guitar, that is) could pop down for easier transportation. So I'm wondering if American Idol winner David Cook has a mini guitar hiding in that backpack — I mean, we did see him shake his groove thang during a game of GH, so I guess he potentially could. But then again, I know how much he travels with his real guitar.

If you're secretly longing to grab a seat for the American Idols Live! tour this year then you may now have a good excuse to go without being made fun of by your friends: they'll let you tinker around with the new Guitar Hero World Tour system, and then compete during a special "half-time" competition between Idols and fans.
Since Guitar Hero has already made friends with the Idol franchise, enlisting the top two Davids to star in their hilarious Risky Business commercials, it's only natural that they would take them on tour as a cool opening band.

With season seven of American Idol wrapping up last week (congrats David Cook!), I was completely shocked that a whopping 97 million votes were cast last Tuesday night. From that 97 million, a record-breaking 78 million were generated from text messages through votes, trivia contests, and other SMS content.
When AT&T polled 416 users about their texting and Idol habits, 51 percent said they text more frequently during the Idol season than other times, while 22 percent said they first learned how to text by voting for singers.

Watching these Guitar Hero spots with David Cook and David Archuleta each re-enacting the famous depantsed-Tom Cruise scene in Risky Business with the video game, it's pretty obvious why Cook was crowned American Idol. He really commits in this clip, ruling the lip-synced song, and showing off all his moves. I'm sure Simon would agree.

In case you missed it, we have a new American Idol! Although I couldn't bring myself to choose between the top two (they were both so good), I think this was one of the best seasons I've seen in a long time. To add to the recent Idol mania (there were over 100 million finale votes cast by phone and text this year), the top ten Idols will be appearing in a two part Larry King Live special (airing tonight at 9:00 p.m.
