We spotted American Idol winner Taylor Hicks, who is currently without a recording contract, at a mall (no he wasn't performing) and in his own down home country way described Heath Ledger as "a guy you would like to have a beer with." Taylor also has not let his lack of a record deal slow him down. He just returned from a tour in Japan and somehow has a CD and a DVD coming out sometime soon. Since when can a guy with 15 fans afford to put out an album with his own money?

Now that the Miss America Pageant has been relegated to cable TV station 'TLC' instead of a big network we can finally stop pretending that it is more than just a long-winded T&A parade. So to save you from having to sit through hours of boring television involving terrible evening gowns and useless talents, I'll be posting contestants participating in the one event we all actually want to see, the swimsuit competition. Miss Illinois Ashley Nicole Hatfield hails from Anna, Illinois and is 24-years-old. She's working towards a doctoral degree in Communicative Disorders* and with the help of her Relay For Life team raised $5,000 dollars for cancer research without stripping in any shape or form. Oh, and just like the contestants before her, her talent is also "vocal." *WTF is a Communicative disorder and why the f*ck do we need to study it? I think not being able to communicate is pretty f*ing simple to diagnose. Picture by Scott Doctor

Her potential flaw, besides that she's studying public relations, is she lists her only non-scholastic accomplishment as being a member of the Louisiana State University Golden Girls danceline. You know who makes danceline? Chicks who failed at cheerleading because they're fat or they're so uncoordinated that they can't grasp the concept of clapping and cheering at the same time.

Miss Utah Jill Stevens is 24-years old and although she made the mistake of wearing a one-piece bathing suit, she kicks ass as a combat medic. Seriously. the nickname "G.I. Jane" is not just a clever marketing tool but a well earned title from her service in Afghanistan as a member of the Utah National Guard. But all of that plus her five medals for outstanding service are not getting a girl from Utah out of the first round until I can order two drinks at once and buy cold beer from a supermarket.
