Either that or she never knows when she’ll need pepper flakes.

P/S: No wonder ...No wonder....

This year’s American Idol finale was watched by more viewer’s than last year’s Jordin Sparks vs. that beatbox kid finale- at least, the last five minutes of the broadcast. In what many are calling an upset victory, former bartender and crossword puzzle enthusiast David Cook beat the odds-on favorite David Archuleta for the crown.

More than 40 million people tuned into to watch the results of the David vs. David battle on American Idol Wednesday night.

The rest of the two-hour show saw an audience of 31.6 million.

(This year’s finale also beat 2007’s Jordin Sparks vs. Blake Lewis showdown, which 30 million turned in to watch.)

In a surprise victory, rocker David Cook beat baby-faced David Archuleta for the title — despite Simon Cowell predicting it would go the other way.

But Archuleta told Usmagazine.com after the show that he “was pretty sure Cook was going to win anyway!”

“You know, he’s such a great guy,” Archuleta, 17, added. “I’m so glad that people really appreciate what he’d been doing because he put a lot of work into this.”

After Wednesday night’s teary announcement that Cook had won (watch the video here), the Missouri native was at a loss for words.

“This is amazing — thank you!” he said.

Archuleta was heavily touted and featured prominently by the show’s producers and editors from his very first audition. Many felt he was the judges’ “Chosen one,” and that the competition was kind of pointless, since he was such a shoo-in. But the voters proved the producers and the judges wrong - David Cook won by 12 million votes. Not since Carrie Underwood's victory has there been such a landslide. Archuleta gave his best performances on the Tuesday night broadcast, making it clear that he was in it to win- but in the end it was David Cook’s rocker edge and ability to mix up the arrangements on some very popular songs that gave him the win. Archuleta was gracious, however, to his rival.

David Archuleta says he wasn’t shocked when his name wasn’t called on Wednesday’s American Idol finale.

“Oh, I was pretty sure Cook was going to win anyway!” he told Usmagazine.com after the show. “You know, he’s such a great guy. I’m so glad that people really appreciate what he’d been doing because he put a lot of work into this.

“He’s been my role model,” Archuleta added. “Just a great person to look up to. He’s been my big brother through this.”

After Cook won, “I just said I’m so proud of him, that he’d earned it,” Archuleta said.

What did Cook say to him?

“He just said, ‘I love you,’” Archuleta said.

Awww. Ain’t that sweet? As for Archuleta’s stage dad from hell, David said his father was proud of him. Because if he didn’t he would probably be locked in the basement until the American Idol tour starts.

Archuleta also said his father, Jeff — who has been portrayed by some media outlets as a demanding stage dad — was pleased with his second place finish.

“My dad just let me know he’s so proud of me,” he said. “He’s really happy too.

“He was just always there to remind me what music meant, the real depth to music and what it does to reach people’s lives,” he added. “And my whole family has helped me stay who I am, helped me not change through this.”

Archuleta - who will perform in the Idol tour this summer - said he thanks “all the fans who helped me make it this far. I didn’t think I’d even make it past the first round! This has been such a blessing.”

All in all, I’m glad it’s over. There were a few spectacular train wreck performances (mostly by Paula Abdul), and some clearly talented contestants, in addition to the final two, including Syesha Mercado, the third place finalist, and the oft-bashed but supremely talented Carly Smithson. But don’t expect me to buy tickets to the concert. That’s where I draw the line, people

Does her nose always look that awful?

How could I have missed a thing like that?

I think that’s her new perfume, Covet, she’s holding, but I can’t be sure, as my eyes can only move so far away from her nose before being dragged back by its sheer gravitational pull.

Maybe I should get my computer monitor checked? I mean, is that what her nose has always looked like?

Eww!

Look who’s not a baby anymore!

Celine Dion hangs out with her son, Rene-Charles, in Paris today. Her husband was there, too, but he’s boring and he started dating her when she was like 12 so we don’t like to talk about him.

Rene-Charles is seven years old already!

And apparently he’s growing more punk-rock by the day.

And what is it with celebrities being unwilling to cut their sons’ hair? Celine, why does your seven-year-old son look like he belongs in Metallica?

This is the new show that I’m a little bit obsessed with, and I desperately need someone to talk to about it and none of my real-life friends watch it. So I’m gonna try with you guys.

It’s a reality show on TLC, on Monday nights, but reruns show up all the time.

Here’s the basics: Jon & Kate got married. Jon & Kate had twin girls, Cara and Madelyn. And then they decided to try for just one more, and ended up with sextuplets, three girls and three boys. So now Jon & Kate have eight children. The twin girls are seven years old and the babies are 3 1/2. And the show is about their life.

At first I started watching it because I was like “Awww, babies! Babies are cute!” And the babies are cute, and it’s fascinating to watch how intelligent and aware and communicative children are at just 3 years old, but what got me hooked is the relationship between Kate and Jon.

I mean, is it just me, or does Jon absolutely hate Kate? I mean, Kate, while doing her very best to be a good mother, is totally neurotic and overbearing and controlling and just plain old mean to Jon. She corrects his grammar constantly, tells him how stupid and inconsiderate he is, and at one point even yells at him for breathing too loud. And Jon kind of takes it in stride because he loves his kids, but I think somewhere deep down he really just wants to murder Kate and dump her body in a river, and frankly I don’t blame him. But it’s hilarious to watch.

Is anyone else picking this up, or is this just how all married couples with children interact? If so, maybe marriage and children are overrated …

First, let me tell you that this community I live in has a quiet policy that "requires residents to abide by a strict noise policy." but the neighbors next door are the most inconsiderate pieces of shit on the face of the earth.

They pound the bass of their stereos through the walls, stand in the hallway at 2:00 in the morning talking, and echoing their kackeling obnoxious laughs throughout (in which 7 different apartments are affected by). They even leave their door WIDE OPENED while their TV is blaring.

When it comes to parking outside, they park within a 1 foot distance of another car, not giving a shit... like it's completely OK. Even worse, they park on the yellow lines which causes LESS parking spots to be available because cars can't fit. It throws the whole order off so there are big gaps, and small gaps. Gaps not big enough for a car to fit, but big enough to be a waste of space.

Don't people realize that their actions affect others around them? How fucking inconsiderate and incompetent must a person BE to not realize this simple truth? No respect. These people are the reason serial killers exist.

Those stupid loud scatterbrained bitches that HAVE to make themselves the center of attention wherever they go by talking loud and doing whatever they have to do to draw attention. Like, talking across a packed room full of people from one side to the other just to ask some meaningless pointless question like "how are you John?... Good? Oh, that's good... How's your sister doing? That's cool..." Drives me fucking crazy! Why can't they just stop being public sluts for 2 seconds.

This is also equivalent to the alleged class clown who tries to be funny every second in class. After the first day it gets old and you just want to sneak up behind him after some stupid outburst and wrap the rope around his neck. Yeah, it's OK to be funny... but come on. When you try so hard everyday, it crosses the line and you just start looking pathetic. Plus, you just get really annoying so if you are one of these two people, do the world a favor and go kill yourself.

p/s: Stupid People Piss Me Off!

The stupidest comment that I have heard to date is "I have a college Degree!" This fuck up moronic dumbass would always say "I have a College Degree!" Whenever he would make a mistake instead of owning up and correcting it he would just say "I have a College Degree! For example if you said "This order is wrong. This product is defective. The customer asked if you could fix this." You would not recieve an appropriate response instead you would get "I have a College Degree." What the fuck! What the hell does a College Degree have to do with you fucking shit up ass wipe? Just fix your damn mistake, learn from it, and move on. It's almost as if he was aware that he was a total fuck up, naw he was pretty spaced out. I think he thought that by saying he had a College Degree this comment would make everything okay, and everyone would just bow down and back off. Silly ass fuck up! It just made him look even more pathetic, and who gives a shit if you have a piece of paper yet you don't have the mental capacity to back it up. Everyone was wrong in this psycho's eyes, and any help offered to him was wasted. Don't bother trying to help this pitiful mother fucker because not only would you get "I have a College Degree!", but a "I have friends that went to College, and they have College Degrees!" He was eventually fired because he continued to make the same mistakes over and over in spite of his College Degree defense. Needless to say that this pathetic waste of space is 30+ years old lives at home with his mother, has no car, no girlfriend, has nothing.
