Wanna Be a Pop Star? Here's the Secret Formula
Now that the whole "American Idol" posse is hitting the road for a summer tour, we all get our chance to see pop-star royalty in the flesh. Yeah, we all vote, but we know we're not the ones who are really behind the Idols. Creating a pop star is an art form passed down by star-makers through the ages. Every generation has an impresario with questionable morality who turns some backwoods hick into a sensation. The "American Idol" judges are the latest in a long line of star-makers who have made - and broken - starry-eyed kids for half a century. Since most of us will never have a Simon Cowell or some other overbearing know-it-all to mold us, here's some free advice: the Secrets to Pop Music Stardom. No commission necessary. Just mention us at the Grammys - after you thank God.

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...tattedkell35 said "I hope Jesse and Sandra get the little girl. I think Sandra really loves the child,just from the photos I've seen. Plus, the Mom is married to a ex con. I think they were both on drugs and are now sober. The is a train wreck. I think the child has been through enough trama. She needs a stable home. "

On Bitter Celebrity Custody Battles...ddfstop said "Children always suffer when their adults start acting like "children!" Tax Evation?? That woman is a fine role model for her daughter ... not! She should never be allowed to have any custody of their daughter because the daughter will only get bounced back to Jesse and Sandra the next time she decides to mess with the IRS. Even a genius will testify that that is not very smart ... forget being a genious. It ain't nice ta mess wit da IRS!!'Nuff said!"

Here's a secret you forgot. These bozos must have talent and the ability to sell units. But the real secret is how the creator, producers, songwriters, production companies pimp these fools who will do anything to be in front of a camera and famous even if it's less than 15 minutes.

What I love most about the first comment is how stupidly it reads and how incoherent it is. God, I love ignorance, don't you?
