this week on "why you won't be my next american idol"...

welcome to the first TOP 12 edition of "why you won't be my next american idol" - i'm your host - karen seacrest.

leaving the top dozen donuts this week is brandon rogers. brandon - you won't be my next american idol because everyone knows the real way to gain stardom following a tour as a back-up singer for a super female popstar is to have an affair with that popstar, marry her, have kids with her, spend her fortune in vegas, cut an album that doesn't rank on the charts at all and divorce her. that's the ONLY way to gain enough popularity to get your own super bowl commercial...

by the way - if i had played my new american idol drinking game this week - i would have been passed out after the first hour. can paula PLEASE sit down already??

until next week - karen - out...
