Primetime Preview

American Idol. American Idol. Even when I complain about stories in Rolling Stone about American Idol, it's really because I'm not covering it regularly anymore. But what is there to say anymore? The LA Times has unremarkable facts about the ten contestants you didn't know. The only thing that grabs your attention is the blandness until you find out that Mandisa sucked her thumb until she was 24. 24? Now that's creepy. In a sign of how uncool he is, the overrated Wyclef Jean performs "Hips Don't Lie" with Shakira on tonight's show. Also tonight, a new House and new sitcom Teachers. Letterman has Willie Nelson, Conan has Queen Latifah and Richard Ashcroft (his solo CD is indeed very good) and Ferguson wil have Tom Fontana bitching about network TV.
