WHOA!: Could Simon Cowell be a goner from American Idol? Hard to say from his statement, but if he does leave the show, we predict it falls apart. Not that we're big fans of snarky Englishmen in too-tight black tees, but, really, he's the only judge on the show that exhibits anything resembling an IQ. (RL)
RIP MARILYN CHAMBERS: Porn star Marilyn Chambers, best known for the X-rated flick Behind the Green Door was found dead Sunday at the age of 56. For whatever reason, Chambers was one of the few porn stars able to transcend the biz. (RL)
ON THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM: This has nothing to do with Simon Cowell or Marilyn Chambers; it's just clean cut fun. We're not going to ruin the inherent surprise built into the clip, just watch. (RL)

THE 'FLU;' We're not sure what's going on with American bands playing in Canada, but just a few days after Britney Spears melted down up north, Billy Bob Thornton and his band have canceled their dates because of "the flu."

Here's the answer, he's the King of Country and Western Troubadors. (RL)
