Strange Flu Makes Idol's Hollywood Week Hard to Stomach

Call me an addict if you will . . . but I have seen EVERY single episode of EVERY single season of American Idol. But, I have never seen anything like last night's episode about Hollywood Week. Instead of finding America's next great singing superstar, Idol needed to find a doctor! Stat! A horrible stomach bug broke out and contestants were tossing cookies everywhere. In fact, I think this is the only Idol episode I've ever seen when there were NO performances. As our Idol expert, Steve Thompson, explains, this was more like a scene from Contagion, Outbreak, or 28 Days Later!

Head Colds Are No Picnic, But It Could Be (and Has Been) a Lot Worse

It's been a very busy day. The ladies from Shogun of Japan stopped by with lunch. Hitmaker Buddy Jewell stopped by with music. And yours truly had to take a breather on the couch. I'm getting over a head cold and I guess the exhaustion phase finally hit me. See, I don't make a good patient, which is why it's a good thing I'm rarely sick. But that doesn't mean I've always been the picture of health. There are a few very long weeks from my past I'd just as soon forget.

Ugh!

So, what's up with people coming to work when they are sick?? WBKR saleswoman Amber came to work late last week with an upper respiratory infection. After a visit to her doctor, she learned that the infection had become pneumonia. She eventually went home, but only after exposing all her co-workers to PNEUMONIA!!! I'm glad she didn't have the Bubonic Plague.
