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

welcome to this very, very late installment of "why you won't be my next american idol". i'm your host - karen seacrest.

would you all believe that identifiying myself as THE "karen seacrest" wasn't good enough to get me into the hip bars in vegas or get my room upgraded to a penthouse suite?? i'm really shocked. i thought everyone knew my name. i'm so bummed that i didn't get to party with lindsey and kfed. i saw on tmz that cameron was out there this weekend too. i totally had to settle for walking past a store where pete rose was signing autographs and sharing a plane with former st. louis rams' tight end roland williams. oh - and i watched a couple of workers take away the last david hasselhoff advertisement as his "behavior" of late has led to him no longer performing in "the producers". had he been there - i'm sure the hoff would have totally cried like he did on the idol finale last year....

ohh - and for a small price of $2000 i could have purchased a guitar autographed by all 3 judges. but since i couldn't really read Simon's name and couldn't verify that it didn't say Sean Gunn - i thought i would save my money...

anyway - thanks to parents on all sides of my family - i was well aware of the fact that last week we would be saying tootles to lakisha jones - and i was aware 2 hours before everyone else in vegas! at least the name has SOME perks. anyway - lakisha - you won't be my next american idol because i'm trying deperately to rid nina of her speech related issues - especially since she wants to sing SO BADLY - and your lisp sends mixed messages to her. that and singing "staying alive" is really a nail in the coffin in the idol world. it's like singing a hit song by an original idol winner (who did that last year? i can't remember). it just doesn't work.

anyway - until - um - thursday - this is karen seacrest - trying to get caught up - and sayin "out"...
