Idols Take Twitter and Facebook Questions on Larry King Live

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. and Monday), and will be taking your questions to be asked on-air.

Personally, I'm loving how technology is connecting people, and allowing them to sort of "get in touch" with their favorite celebs (even if some of your favorite celebs don't exactly want to get in touch with you). If only I could have Twittered directly to Jonathan Brandis all those years ago (any other Seaquest DSV fans in the house?), I would have been one happy geek! Ahh, Lucas Wolenczak. But I digress. . .

Find out how you can ask your burning questions to the top ten Idol finalists, when you read more.

Thankfully, Larry King is all about the social networking these days, so you can easily submit your Idol questions via Facebook (by posting your question at CNN's fan page), or you can Tweet your question to @kingsthings or by adding the hashtag #LKL to the end of your tweet. It's that simple. The bad news is only one question will make it on the show - so make it a good one!

Do You Ever Have Joy Behar Cell Phone Moments?

You either have it or you don't. It's like this innate sixth sense, something that no one else can describe but you. What I'm talking about is CPESP - Cell Phone Extrasensory Perception - a faculty that afflicts millions of Americans who are addicted to their mobile phones. I have a serious case of CPESP. It's so bad that my phone can be in another room of my house, on the vibrate ring tone setting, and I can hear it.

Another person who has this sixth cell phone sense? The View's Joy Behar. During a recent appearance on Larry King Live, she admitted that when her BlackBerry rings, "It's like a child crying in the night." I feel your pain Joy, and I know exactly what you mean.
