If you were watching American Idol last night, it may have appeared that Fox meteorologist Ron Rhodes won the title!  Because of severe weather coverage and the threat of tornadoes and damaging straight line winds, Ron was on the tube alot during the Idol finale!  But that didn't stop the proceedings at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles, where Scotty McCreery was crowned our latest champion!  So, d

After a record-setting 122.4 million votes, it was young country singer Scotty McCreery who was named the winner of 'American Idol' season 10.
