Calm heads and reason prevailed on American Idol as Josh was told to stand down from the competition. He sang himself off with "To Love Somebody" while holding his baby daughter, which was reasonably cute.

The highlight of the show, though, was the Ford ad that had Ruben dressed up pimp-style going to the house and turning Clay into a pimp as well. Glad to see the producers finally got back at Ruben for missing the hair coloring a couple weeks back.

(Hey, speaking of the house, whatever happened to Kristin Holt and all that inside dish we were supposed to be getting from the house? Did their attempt to turn the show into a Real World clone with music fail, or did Kristin's huge teeth throw too much glare into the camera?)

And speaking of cheese and of kids, we were promised that the upcoming American Juniors would do for kids what the parent show did for young adults. I know a threat when I hear one. Thankfully, they'll be focusing as much on the stage parents as the kids, exposing the pushy adults for their negative worth. Suffice it to say I will not be giving you weekly updates on this show.
