American Idol Results Show: Paul McDonald Sent Home While Casey Abrams Romances Haley Reinhart

The guy with the radioactive glow in the dark teeth, Paul McDonald,  got the American Idol boot on Thursday, but did not get the same shocked reaction as last week's Pia Toscano's elimination did.

Paul left the show singing "Magge May," while telling America to have a good time and "not be sad about this."

I don't recollect myself ever being sad over someone leaving American Idol.

In the bottom three, with Paul, were Stefano Langone, again, and Haley Reinhart. I don't remember if Haley has been in the bottom three before.

What I do remember is seeing rumors on the Interwebs that Haley and Casey Abrams had developed a romantic liaison.

When Ryan Seacrest put Haley in the bottom three, Casey said "I love you" to Haley. Earlier in the show Haley and Casey sang a steamy duet, a song called "Moanin." It struck me odd at the time, wondering why that pair got a duet. Usually it's those tiresome group numbers on the AI results show.

The original American Idol, Kelly Clarkson, sang "Don't You Wanna Stay?" with Jason Aldean. Ryan and Kelly exchanged quips over something to do with Ryan doing something to Kelly's Twitter Tweets regarding Kelly having a crush on Casey. I really was not understanding. A Kelly crush on Casey Abrams? Or Casey James? Casey James is a Texas boy and seems more age appropriate than Casey Abrams for a Kelly crush.

Rihanna sang a song about her "California King Bed." I hit the fast forward button.

The only other thing I remember about the latest AI results show was this week's Ford commercial. Zombies were involved. I don't care for the AI Ford commercials. And the making of the AI Ford commercial bits. But, they have an hour to fill, so filler is needed.

I'm pretty sure Ryan said what next week's American Idol theme is, but I've already forgotten.

Listen To Ryan Seacrest's Britney Spears Interview

Weaveney rolled into the studio to do a sitdown with Ryan Seacrest for his KIIS-FM L.A. show this morning, where they played the "full version" of new Ke$ha-co-written single "Till The World Ends" (which has now been added to iTunes) and had an mind-blowing exchange.

And when I say mind-blowing, I mean it was off the chizzle. Witness these revelations, Brit Pack:
Seacrest: I heard you got a new place? You moved?
Wigney: Yes.

Seacrest: And how is that?
Rugney: It's fun.

Seacrest: What happens when you're in your car and you hear one of your songs on the radio?
Extensionney: I change it immediately.

Seacrest: Tell us about the track ["Till The World Ends"].
Talkativeney: It's fun. I like it. It's just good energy. I like it.
Okay, okay—to be fair, Brit sounded like she was in great spirits. She laughed a lot and talked a bit about working with Max Martin over the years. She also says she's going on tour early this summer.

Ryan Seacrest will not be replacing Simon Cowell for American Idol

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is just as much in the dark as the rest of us regarding who will replace judge Simon Cowell on the popular Fox singing competition show.

Seacrest tells "Extra," "I don't know who will be in the seat. They haven't made a decision, so we'll find out together." When asked if Seacrest himself is a possibility for the replacement, he said he would not be on the judges' panel. "I will host it," Seacrest declares.

Rumors have been swirling about who will take Cowell's place -- Elton John, Justin Timberlake, Harry Connick Jr. and Chris Isaak have all been mentioned in the conversation. Who is your favorite?

"American Idol" is currently holding its cattle-call auditions at various cities around the country. Season 10 will debut on Fox in early 2011.

Tyler Grady & 3 Others I Don't Remember Sent Home on American Idol

Of the 4 who got sent home, last night, on American Idol's result show, which I did not watch, the only one who's name I recognized and remembered is Tyler Grady.

He was the Jim Morrison wannabe with unfortunate hair and odd body movements. He seemed like a nice guy with a sense of humor.

The other guy to get the boot was Joe Munoz.

The 2 girls going home were Ashley Rodriguez and Janell Wheeler.

I have no mental image of Joe, Ashley or Janell.

American Idol is not working for me this year. The entertainment factor seems to have taken a plummet. I am fairly certain the plummet is not entirely due to the absence of Paula Abdul.

But, Paula Abdul did provide a good measure of amusing banter and sparring with Simon Cowell.

Kara DioGuardi wears on my nerves. I really don't know why. Something about her seems unnatural and forced. A criticism she levels at the singers at times. I don't think it's her faux pas which tire me, things like saying 1901 when she means 2001. If it continues into next week, the swooning over Casey James is going to really cross way over into this is stupid land.

This year Randy Jackson seems different. Like he is talking in complete articulate sentences with a bare minimum of cheesy slang. Maybe he wised up to the fact that it is not a good look for a man closer to retirement age than teen age to be using teenage type hipster slang lingo.

And then there is Ellen DeGeneres. I've always liked her in any venue I've seen her. Til now. Again, I don't quite know why. She really is not being all that funny. At least to me. I heard Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi on the radio, Live with Ryan Seacrest, cracking up over Ellen's ripen like a banana remark she made on Wednesday to one of the boy singers. I don't think Randy and Kara have what might be called a highly evolved sense of humor.

As for Ryan Seacrest. Did he take How To Act Overly Earnest lessons since last season? He does not seem to be cracking wise as often as I used to enjoy.

And then there are the singers this year. This year the only one, so far, who has somewhat stood out to me, is the aforementioned, Casey James. I did find the taking off his shirt thing a bit embarrassing, but not for him, embarrassing for Kara D to have asked him to do so, and thus begin her chronic swooning.

I am not all that great a judge of who is swoonworthy. Casey James seems like a real nice guy, and even to my tone-deaf ears he seems to sing well, but I don't get the swooning or the Jessica Simpson hairstyle.

On more than one occasion, this year, we've heard at least one of the judges remark that this is the best group they've ever found. I take this as double-speak to actually mean this is the worst group they have ever found.

Because, that's how it seems to me. I may keep watching.

Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson Will Give Susan Boyle's First Kiss?

Susan Boyle definitely got the world's attention that American Idol now wants to bring her to the show! Most of all, Susan would seem be getting her first kiss from none other than American Idol judges Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson! Although Simon Cowell already stated that in a USA Today article that "No, I will not be the first person to kiss her." Randy Jackson has a different plan: “I think Simon and I should do a dual kiss on each cheek on Susan Boyle. I'll fly to London with him. We will sit right beside her and kiss her at the same time. We'll do a countdown to the kiss."

Ryan Seacrest Girlfriend Jasmine Waltz

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest may put a stop the gay rumors this time by being spotted with his girlfriend in tow. Yes that's right, Ryan's girlfriend is Jasmine Waltz who is a bartender-slash-aspiring actress from Los Angeles. The couple was seen taking a romantic getaway to Paris after he did his hosting job in his radio show "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" last week.

According to People website, the 34 year old American Idol host met Jasmine Waltz "during a night out at Guy's, a West Hollywood lounge". Previously working for other L.A. hotspots including Les Deux and Italian restaurant Bella, Jasmine and Ryan has "been together for a few months now". Now, Ryan's mom Connie should be rejoicing because it is her fervent wish that her son will have more time to date: "That would be wonderful for him and we'd stand a better chance for him to have a relationship." Oh well, good for you Ryan! You can have respite from now on to Simon Cowell's punch lines during the show!
