"From Justin to Kelly," eh?

I guess it was pretty handy that the winner and runner-up of American Idol 1 were an attractive girl and an attractive (albeit a Sideshow Bob looking motherfucker) guy. The movie rollout was handy. So, what's coming up for the winners of American Idol 2?


Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard from American Idol.

How about a remake of Tommy Boy? The song and performance of "Fat Guy in a Little Coat" could be a full on musical performance. If interracial relationships are still taboo in cinema and television, why not really break some barriers (so to speak) with "From Ruben to Clay." It's Ruben... It's Clay... it's gay!. I think that'd be super.

Fuck, I hate reality television. We used to watch TV to escape reality. Now it's reality variety shows? Do you think variety shows, a staple of the sixties and seventies, are really going to make a comeback? I've got five words for you: "The Brady Bunch Variety Hour."
