If you are among the last contestants to survive American Idol, one of two things will happen to you after the show wraps: You will make the morning show press rounds, announce a record deal with a major label, put out an album, win the Grammy for Best New Artist, and go on to a lifetime of fame and money; or you will make the morning show press rounds, announce a record deal with a major label, put out an album, watch sales stall at 200, and get dropped from your label. Guess which category Blake Lewis — who lost to Jordin Sparks — falls into?
• Seen the new MEN-olos? They're hideous. [Queerty]
• Yum-O! [DListed]
• More Hills is on the way. We hope you're proud of yourself, Hills viewers. [PS]
• Tara Reid: salvageable? [HT]
• Wanna smell like Britney Spears? No? Well, wanna smell like Britney Spears' perfume? [INO]
• Sporty Spice has a solo career? [ICYDK]

When you wear a wacky hat in a wacky way, pulling a wacky face is overkill. It's like a birthday clown with a whistle and a kazoo. Stick with one—two maximum—otherwise you get so irritating, everybody in the world will want to wipe that stupid grin off your face. And considering that your name is "Blake" and you've already been beaten by a 17-year-old girl, you're about as intimidating as a yawning kitten, so it's probably not best to provoke hatred.
PS Is that a name or a major appliance?
