American Idol is the new Fat Actress.

Just wanted to make that observation.

1. Locking.

No "American Idol" threads.

2. Dang, you are too late

It would have been fun to get into another Fat Actress flamefest!

3. AI makes Fat Actress look positively BRILLIANT, original, conceptual

and intelligent.

8. so how do you feel about Tom Cruise?

just curious.

9. I never liked him in anything AFTER Risky Business, and his latest

activities all over the tabloids and teevee are horrific. He may have had a psychotic break; that aside, I just don't care for his type of acting and characterizations. He's just bland, boring and milque-toast.

Tom Cruise is the epitome of middle of the road homogenized americanized mediocrity...

4. Not even close...

as soon as someone starts wringing their hands and asking to have the threads locked, then it'll compare.

6. LOL, there's already a locked thread!

7. The thread author asked for it to be deleted.

Still not the same.

10. To avoid a full-on flamefest.

Details, details....

5. Now wait ...........

There was one absolutely brilliant moment on Fat Actress:

Kirstie calls Kelly Preston, her diet guru, to ask her something, and, in a split screen, asks if she's interrupting anything. Preston, who is shredding a Kleenex and gulping it down with bottled water, says, "No, just having dinner."

The perfect LA moment, IMHO.
