For a program that bills it's self as a family program, American Idol has been awfully bawdy this season. First Chris Richardson dedicated his performance of "Geek in the Pink" to his grandmother (it's not about a Peter Sellers movie), then Randy explained Paula Abdul's absence from the beginning of show as "she was under the table helping me with something"; and finally there was what happened Tuesday night between Simon and Ryan Seacrest.

Now if Ryan Seacrest is really gay or not, I couldn't care less; but there's something straight up hilarious about watching two grown men devolve the most popular television program in America into a conversation of "you're gay dude; no you're gay." The duo have previously been warned both by FOX and the Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) about their man on man flirting; and they both have these shit faced grins plastered on their face, as if to say; we know we're going to get yelled at, but fuck it; this is just too much fun.

The other big news this week on American Idol was Diana Ross' hair looks like the Bride of Frankenstein. While I want to remember her like this:

She's starting to look more like this.

Still, I have to admit, she was sharp as a tack and spot on in all of her comments to the contestants; with the predictable exception of Sanjaya Malakar whose shy, awkward demeanor is reminiscent of another creepy Diana Ross favorite. Now obviously I have no way of knowing if Sanjaya is going to grow up into a full on Michael Jackson pedo; but seriously… would you let him baby-sit your kids?

Finally, this week of Idol marked the final performance of one Brandon Rogers who will be best remembered for…for… well, I guess that's the problem, wasn't it? For something a little bit more memorable, check out this ringtone for the classic "Baby Love" from Diana Ross and The Supremes.
