Our long national nightmare begins anew tonight, as "American Idol" starts what seems like its 50th season on television - but it's really only the eighth. Critics are wondering if the addition of a fourth judge and some other program modifications will kill the franchise. One can only hope. Meanwhile ...
AUSTIN, TEXAS – "American Idol" wants an Austin strip club to take it off. The company that owns the popular television show sued in federal court to stop the weekly "Stripper Idol" contest at Palazio Men's Club. FremantleMedia North America also wants to seize Palazio's profits from the amateur stripping contest.
Just what FreemantleMedia and the Idol producers need ... more money. Don't you think that, at some point the producers would be happy to have most of America by the short hairs, making money hand over fist? No, now they have to kill the rest of us.
"Defendants are infringing upon FremantleMedia's trademark rights," the suit alleges. "There is a substantial likelihood that consumers will be confused, misled or deceived as to the sponsorship ... of the defendants' stripper talent contest."
I'm guessing that the clientele of the Palazio Men's Club wouldn't be caught dead watching their ridiculous television show. Besides, consumers have been deceived for the past 8 years in thinking that the show actually picks winners at random and misled in believing that it's a talent show.
The club's managers said their contest doesn't resemble the TV show. No kidding. In "Stripper Idol" the women have 60 seconds to dance topless, then are ranked by audience applause to win $500.
That sounds like one Hell of a show. It beats the piss out of William Hung and that crap they pass off as music.
Put it on HBO.

William Hung- she bangs.
Simon Cowell.
Can't tell who is worse.
Stripper Idol- is that for the guys or the gals?
Cause I wouldn't want to see Simon Cowell in his boxers.....
I for one am one of those losers that watches AI. Although, tonight I didn't watch it (in it's complete entirety) and watched The Biggest Loser. (but during commercials I flipped it to Fox and watched)
I don't think I'd wanna watch Stripper Idol though. I've seen some amateur strippers in my day and in all honesty, I'd rather deal with an hour of Simon Cowell and his comments than some fire crotch spreading her...love.
i was working out. darn.
500$ just for dancing topless? me thinks somethings were left out here :-P
