    Love it or hate it; it's that time of year again, the 6th season of American Idol premieres on Tuesday January 16th on Fox (7:00-9:00pm).. IMO the first few weeks are some of the best with all the train wreck auditions, and it seems that Paula is setting the tone for the start of the season..

    DAYUM she's wasted. :D

    I think I'm going to watch this season. I haven't had a show that I've been *into* for a long time, and since I now have a tv, it's gonna be American Idol.

    My wife and I watch every year. It's so stupid that it's awesome. We are looking forward to it. The Rockets play Dallas tomorrow however. I guess I will have to watch AI later in the week.

    I like AI too. I've watched every season and have actually grown tired of the first couple of weeks where all they show are the terrible people. I can understand one week of it but several weeks gets annoying.

    "I'm a dancer! I'm a dancer!"

    Paula Abdul was the last person I ever thought would turn into an alcoholic...

    I'm an AI fanatic too. but only before they start doing the phone votings. anything after that it's pretty boring. i did dress up as William Hung this past Halloween and won 1st prize in the costume contest. :D

    You have officially been banned from the black race.

    As a new race free agent, you are free to sign with any race you choose. Might I suggest becoming caucasian? You still get to listen to rap and hip hop (just not around black guys), plus you'll actually have a waitress come to your table whenever you eat at Cracker Barrel.

    WILD TIMES OFF SET OF AMERICAN IDOL
    SHOW'S ALUMNI SING STORIES OF DEPRAVITY DORM


    By LISA KEYS

    January 14, 2007 -- As Season Six of "American Idol" debuts Tuesday, it turns out that the drama onstage is nothing compared to the soap-opera antics offstage - in the luxury bunkhouses where finalists share bedrooms, bathrooms, meals and a general disdain for the onerous rules and curfews.

    Based on interviews with 10 past contestants from different seasons, The Post can reveal what life is like in the "American Idol" dorm.

    Katharine McPhee repeatedly sneaked out to visit her boyfriend. Ryan Starr spied on neighbor Jennifer Lopez's house. Scott Savol and pals made frequent trips to Hooters. And Bucky Covington says the boys' rooms were stinking pigsties.

    On the other hand, Josh Gracin often cooked breakfast.

    Each season, contestants who make it past the national auditions are flown to Los Angeles, where they live two to a room in a hotel. Once Simon, Paula and Randy winnow the group to 12 finalists, they're moved into private accommodations.

    During the first three seasons, home was a four-story mansion on Mulholland Drive in Bel-Air. Since then, contestants have lived in a luxury apartment complex just three miles from the studio.

    They are thrown together 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Each is given a cellphone, but there's very little other contact with the outside world.

    No visitors are allowed at work or at home, there is little freedom to come and go, they aren't allowed to drive and there's a strict curfew: 11 p.m. during the week, and midnight on the weekends.

    They are surrounded by chaperones - from producers to contestant coordinators making sure the Idols are where they need to be - and they are attended to by chefs, chauffeurs, stylists and security guards.

    They have to get permission from the production and security staff to go anywhere alone - and they must have a security guard accompany them.

    Ha! Even though sometimes I'm unhappy with the team, I think I'll re-sign just because I've been with them so long. I've missed some shots in big game situations but my team believes that someday their investment will pay off. Plus, the entire trade exception was used up on Tiger Woods. ;)
