Yeah. This is where I would normally have a recap of American Idol, except that Obama has decided he needs to talk to us. Apparently showing up on Leno and 60 minutes wasn’t enough for him, and now he’s got to interrupt my favorite show. I find this incredibly annoying. Couldn’t he find a worse show to pre-empt?
You know who doesn’t have time for Obama? Simon Cowell.
Jump in for the American Idol recap of the Top 11 – It’s Country Week – so I’m especially hostile this evening. But I love me some Danny Gokey, and I’m still feeling all sorts of proud of my “Gokeheads” name. So let’s begin.
We’re down to the top 13 on American Idol. And this is the point in the season where I get even more obsessed with the show than I already was, which I realize is unfathomable to many of you who know me personally and hear me talk about it incessantly.
I have every intention of doing my weekly recap of the performances, and for those of you who don’t care what I think about the performances, or American Idol for that matter, feel free to just skip these posts altogether. But for those of you who DO watch the show, I want to hear your thoughts on the performances too. So COMMENT for crying out loud. It’s no fun just talking to myself.
…but alert mockdocker Bob sent it to me and it made me bawl and I don’t care if you’ve already seen it. You should watch it again if only to watch Simon Cowell visibly go from being a total prick to a complete softie within a matter of 60 seconds. I love him. And I love the chick judge who cries at basically every performance that anyone ever does on that show ever. And I love that the other judge’s name is Piers. That’d be a good butler name. I wonder if he has plaid pants?
Anyway, this little girl is precious and angelic and she makes me want to keep Mini-mock little forever.
Look at him. Just look at him hanging out in Scotland with someone who appears to be his own personal Scottish butler. You know that dude’s name is Chauncey or something equally butler-y.
Have I ever told you guys how much Mr. Mock loves plaid? Like – he REALLY loves it. I guarantee you that when he looks at this picture he will think to himself, “I would love to have those pants.” I’m serious. He loves plaid.
Personally, I can do without the pants. I just want a personal butler.
Simon Cowell is available. His girlfriend of 6 years broke up with him because she wants kids and he doesn’t. And listen, Simon felt so bad about the break up, he bought her a HOUSE as a parting gift.
My point is, if you’re a single woman, and you go for Simon Cowell, you could get a house out of the deal just for breaking up with him.
Simon Cowell, according to Nigel Lythgoe, makes TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS A MINUTE for his work on American Idol (this is apparently the minute calculation based off the $36 million dollar per season salary.)
Nigel says Simon has been a brilliant negotiator, only signing on for 12 month contracts at a time.
I freaking love Simon Cowell. He is living proof that it pays to be snarky. There is hope for The Mock Dock yet!
You know what he said to a UK news outlet earlier this week when asked his opinion on the American election?
He said, “Me being British and coming over here and commenting on politics would be the craziest thing in the world. So you know what, I just sit back and enjoy it and somebody’s going to win.”
Soak it in, people. Celebrities ALWAYS want you to know what they think about politics. So let’s just enjoy this to the fullest.
I know we’ve been all American-Idolly today, but I just read this and had to share. Simon was just questioned about Clay “I’m a homo” Aiken’s announcement. This was his response:
“Wow, that’s a shock. It’s like being told Santa Clause isn’t real – unbelievable.”
