My experience with my very difficult to pronounce Chinese name is just the way Costa described. Every one insist on switching a "W" with the "Y" that actually starts my family name. I hated it when they say, "Well, W**g, Y**g, same difference!" What? It's at least nine strokes more to write my name. :-)
Then there's the fact that the spelling of my first name does inspire people to make a sound as if they were ready to spit.... or add Q, K, to the mix to create a French sounding name. I don't know how many times I had to help people with the right pronunciation and how many times I had to apologize for not recognizing my own name when it was just soooo mangled by the time it's out of some friendly mouths!! This was done by students and professors alike; both in U of Houston and the tiny music conservatory I ended up in NYC. I finally gave up, bow to the mass and use a very Anglo name which was given to me by the first student advisor I ever had. A very wise man he was.

This is hilarious. Watch Cat Deeley "try" to interview Lakisha.

Naja, that made me laugh so hard. Poor Cat laughed until she cried. I wonder if she ever finished the interview.

Thanks for posting that Naja. That was funny, mainly because they found it funny! They were both so polite about it too.

(It must be tough to have allergies and sing )

A former "American Idol" contestant was arrested Sunday on drug and assault charges after an incident at a Tampa cafe.

Jessica Sierra, who was a finalist in the fourth season of the TV show, was arrested by Tampa police at 2:15 a.m. for allegedly hitting a man on the head with a heavy glass.

Sierra, 21, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was also charged with the introduction of contraband into a detention facility and possession of cocaine after officers found a small amount of the drug while searching her, police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said.

She was being held at a Tampa area jail on $11,500 bond and was to face arraignment Monday.

The victim suffered a cut over his eye, but the spokeswoman gave no further information.

Her remake of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was included as a single on the "American Idol Season 4" album

Here's a download of Simon on Ellen today. I guess the most interesting part to me was that his bottom two aren't the same as our board consensus when I go and look at our AI Game picks.

American Idol" dreamboat Constantine Maroulis will make his daytime television debut in May, joining the cast of "The Bold and the Beautiful."

Maroulis' addition to the CBS soap has long been rumored, but it's now been announced that his stint will begin on Tuesday, May 15.

CBS only goes so far as to say that Maroulis will appear on "The Bold and the Beautiful" for several months and that during that time, he'll be able to perform several of the songs from his upcoming solo debut.

Maroulis will play a music producer named Constantine Parros (probably for many of the same reasons Tony Danza generally plays characters named "Tony"). The character becomes involved in the life and career of heiress Phoebe Forrester (Mackenzie Mauzy).

The 31-year-old Maroulis finished sixth on the fourth season of "American Idol" (behind luminaries like Scott Savol and Anthony Federov). The conservatory-trained vocalist was attached to an ABC comedy loosely based on his life, though no pilot was ever shot. Instead, Maroulis appeared on Broadway in "The Wedding Singer" and Off-Broadway in "Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris."

Maroulis' transition from "Idol" to aspiring soap star is far from unprecedented. You may recall (though you probably don't) that Matthew Metzger went from Season Three semi-finalist (and Paula Abdul favorite) to "One Life to Live" featured player.

Did anybody catch Ellen yesterday when Ryan Seacrest was supposed to be her guest? Did he say anything of interest? I went to watch my recording of it but 50 minutes of the hour was an emergency weather broadcast because of tornado warnings, and no Ryan in the few minutes they did show.

he said that the kids are really nice and what you see is pretty much what you get. ellen challenged him on that saying 'well of course you are going to say that' and he kind of laughed and said 'well, in years past i couldn't have said that statement'. he went on to say what usually happens at about this phase of the competition is the kids start to believe their press and get a big head. he kind of alluded to that happening with Sanjaya

Jordin Brianna Sparks:
She has appeared with Alice Cooper (in his 2004 Christmas show) and has twice toured with Christian contemporary singer Michael W. Smith. Smith has shown support of Sparks by encouraging Idol viewers to vote for her on his website.

Did anyone see Phil and Chris on Leno? They did the whole Geico thing, this time with Burt Bacchurat (yes, I know I probably mispelled it). It was funny since all three of them were having a hard time trying to keep a straight face during it

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- "American Idol" finalist Melinda Doolittle returned Friday to Belmont University, her alma mater.

She filmed a segment for the hit show, and met later with Gov. Phil Bredesen. He told her that his 85-year-old mother watches the show regularly and likely will be voting for her.

At the school, hundreds waved signs and shouted encouragement to her.

Belmont even named a street after her, unveiling a black iron post with a blue sign that read: "Melinda Doolittle Way."

Doolittle, a professional backup singer in Nashville before she became an "Idol" contestant, is one of three finalists.

She has a rich, powerful voice that she put to work on two songs today while at the school -- Diana Ross' "Home" and Aretha Franklin's "Since You've Been Gone."
