"Idol" Contestant -- Habitual Reality Reject
Darin Darnell looked like a complete idiot as he fake cried on "American Idol" last night, but it wasn't the first time he looked like a fool on national television.
The reality show wannabe was also a contestant on the first season of "I Love New York" back in 2007 -- but Darnell, who got the nickname "Ace," didn't make it past the first show.
Last night on "Idol," Simon also kicked his ass back into the world of obscurity. There's nothing like being shut down by TWO crazy bitches.

Before she skanked it up on "American Idol," Bikini Girl Katrina Darrell was shaking her bikini clad ass at a Valvoline sponsored swimsuit contest in Oklahoma.
The contest went down last May during an event for Street Warriorz -- legal street racing -- at the Tulsa Raceway Park.
We're not sure if Darrell won -- but everybody watching sure did.

Britney Gets Sloppy Seconds
One of the "amateur" contestants on this season's "American Idol" not only has recorded a song for a major movie soundtrack -- but also the damn thing was just covered by Britney Spears.
Before Joanna Pacitti got the gold ticket on Wednesday night's episode, she struck gold with her song "Out from Under," which was featured on the "Bratz" soundtrack in 2007 ... before it was covered on Britney's new album, Circus.

Not only does Walmart have "Always Low Prices," but there's also the chance you'll see a future "American Idol" performing in the CD department.
Before he made it to Hollywood in last night's episode, country kid Brent Keith Smith promoted a CMT album with a tour of local Walmarts.
If "A.I." doesn't work out, he always could end up there again ... as a cashier.
"Idol" Judges Lack Southern Hospitality
The judges on "American Idol" need to learn a little sumthin' about their southern slang -- before they crush another innocent gent.
A contestant on last night's episode was given a quick "no" from all four judges and on his way out told them, "Take care and be careful ... in whatever you do."
All the judges took the remark as a threat -- but in actuality, odd as it may be, "be careful" is a common parting expression in some areas of the south.
After Paula's ordeal with a stalker, it's easy to see how the judges might be a little overly defensive.

There's one "Idol" contestant who's already been through Hollywood -- in fact she's already slept with a celebrity ... if you still consider Dane Cook a celebrity.
Raquel Houghton, a 28-year-old "waitress/bartender," dated Cook for roughly three years, until the relationship suddenly ended in 2007 -- which happens to be right after "Employee of the Month" came out.
Coincidence? We think not.

"Idol" Wannabe Was Involved in Brit's Meltdown
The tatted-up, ass-flashing contestant on this year's "American Idol" once worked with Britney Spears -- and the job left Brit Brit marked for life.
Turns out Emily Wynne-Hughes was working at the tattoo shop Britney Spears wandered into back in February 2007 (aka The Night Britney Shaved Her F&*%ing Head!!!). And get this -- Emily was actually interviewed by "Extra" moments after Britney got inked up -- nearly two years ago!
She told the show Britney's "mind was in a different place" and her "thoughts were definitely somewhere else."
Apparently, Emily is a good singer and an amateur psychologist, too!
