Umm, what’s that puddle looking thing under his raised foot? It looks like he pissed himself from excitement

205 won!
P.S. where’s you get that pic? I agree with Stacey he does look like he’s peeing.

Clay should’ve won, but I’m not bitter. Ruben’s a nice guy.
Ghosted by GJ @ 05/22/2003 1:26 AM EDT
clay and ruben both kicked ass… and although ruben was a better "pop star", clay was a better singer. not like it matters, they both got record deals, and like simon said, the real fight will begin when their albums hit stores the same week…

The latest scoop is that the vote was either completely off or completely fixed. Personally, I’ve thought it’s been at least somewhat rigged from very early on in the season — a lot of stuff didn’t seem right.
In the end, though, the right two made it to the finals. I’m not sure they’ll be able to pull this all off as effectively for a third straight year, but we’ll see.

Ew, Matt watches American Idol? What happend to the ooooold Matt, circa 2000? Back in the day, when the only current TV show he watched was The Simpsons, and he even reluctantly admitted watching THAT show cause it was so popular. (This was all in Matt’s old XE bio)

Come on, I wrote an article about Paula Abdul back then, too. I’m just loyal is all. And I loooooove that TRENYCEIEEIICE.

OK, so Ruben won… BUT. They (Ruben and Clay) both got record deals, and their albums are debuting the same week.
So what did Ruben get for winning American Idol other than the title of American Idol? I kind of wondered the same thing about Kelly Clarkson last year. She was the American Idol, but she hasn’t done a damned thing since then without Guarini attached to her hip; he might as well have won, or they might as well have not declared an American Idol because the runner up is just as well off as the actual winner. If I were Kelly Clarkson or Ruben Studdard, I’d be pissed off.
Cool, the fat black guy from Police Academy: Citizens on Patrol is the new American Idol! Sweetness! I never watched the show, so forget it. But, great pic anyway. I might paint that on the ceiling of my room. Or not. Maybe a giant mural of a baleen whale playing with Transformers and MOTU. Sweet.

My best friend called it when we were watching the first tryout episodes (our friend from high school made it to the callbacks). She said, last year it was a white girl, this year a black guy. And she was right

Who the hell is that guy? What are you talking about?
Ghosted by ugllcuck @ 05/22/2003 4:35 PM EDT
He looks like the guy that had the music video featured on one of Ed the Sock’s Fromage specials on MuchMusic showcasing the year’s worst music videos… the one that sang (actually "talked", for the most part, and I don’t mean like "rap" nor do I mean in a sexy way like Barry White) the song about Alanis Morissette.
I was not a rabid Idol watcher, but I was rooting for Ruben. Clay has an amazing talent, but he has stated that he just wants to go back to teaching anyway. (riiiight)
The main reason I wanted to see Ruben win is because it feels good to see a big guy like him on stage who isn’t talking about rollin’ on dubs, selling crank and f*cking ho’s. (I love rap, but whatever happened to love songs?)
With Barry White having suffered a stroke that has impaired his speech (get well soon), and Issac Hayes busy with South Park and acting, I think Ruben is here to fill a void. Here’s to the freaky slow jams!
BTW: Matt has made several mentions of Idol in the past few months, so I don’t see why it’s a surprise to anyone that he watches it.

Personally, I’d like a Kit Kat for winning, but whatever. ^^

"Here comes the House…"
I think its the poop that a fat kid won. I don’t watch the show, but I’ve got much fat kid pride. Just hope that they don’t pull a Bitner on him

I hate reality TV. We need more unrealtiy TV… like a Willow TV series or possibly something involving Vanilla Ice and the Pets.com puppet in a buddy comedy.
um, i agree the ruben AND punch out kick complete ass, but i have an unrelated question and am not sure where to ask it. what was the name of battle cat when he was just like, a normal cat? it’s been bugging the bajesus out of me for an hour now, and i figure someone here might be able to answer my inquiry. thank you in advance, love always, the chopper.
"what was the name of battle cat when he was just like, a normal cat? it’s been bugging the bajesus out of me for an hour now, and i figure someone here might be able to answer my inquiry."
Cringer. Prince Adam’s pet green tiger was called Cringer. And he didn’t like being transformed into Battle Cat for some reason, but got over it when done so.
You know when the last time I heard of Vanilla Ice?
On the 2000 New Years celebration on NBC (methinks) They had him drive a flaming motocycle into a brick wall. Oh, I’m sorry "stunt Man" Vanilla Ice would perform a "death-defying feat."
It kind of shows you how much people wanted to hurt him, and how desperate he got. I mean, who in the corporate boardrooms said: "Hey, I know! Lets lure people to watch our show on the chance that Vanilla Ice might be hurt reeeaal bad!"
Apparently it worked…I distinctively remember him being just fine.
