PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"GAY IDOL JOURNAL - DIANE WARREN 'HITS' EDITION" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-25-03 AT 03:05 AM (EST)Note to readers/fans/stalkers: This is my weekly Diva rant, similar to the popular and critically praised 'Gay Survivor Journal.' It is an exclusive to the RealityTVWorld American Idol board.
Please note that my opinions are based solely on image, style and originality, not on voice. Some of the biggest selling recording artists of all time couldn't sing for crap. A short list of Stars with marginal vocal talent would include: Cher, Bette Midler, Britney Spears, Enrique Iglesias, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Kylie Minogue... the list goes on and on. What they had was Star Quality... so what I am looking for is a DIVA (male or female) with that X-factor. This Week's Diva Rankings 1. Trenyce
Diva of the Week.
Treynce comes back to re-take the DOW crown (after 5 weeks ‘on the bubble’.) Her detractors will immediately point out that this week she looked like a trashy, cheap, streetwalking, crack-smoking ho. I beg to differ. She looked like a classy, expensive, limo-escorted, coke-snorting ho. There is a huge difference! (Get your facts straight, Trenyce-haters!) I love me some Trencye for going out on a limb. In her black leather biker jacket, black bustier, rhinestone encrusted choker, and blasted charcoal jeans, she was over-the-top in the way only a Diva can pull off. And the low slung silver chain belt, and the navel jewelry added even more ‘frosting’ to her already-sweet chocolate cake. Some may quibble with the extremely wide cuffs of her jeans… but this look is actually quite cutting edge. Had she ‘hedged her bets’ with a normal-sized cuff, she would have been less risky, possibly less offensive to some, but also more middle-of-the-road bland. This is not what we have come to expect from Diva Trenyce. You work those ten-inch-cuffs, girlfriend! 2. Clay Aiken
Runner Up Diva of the Week.
Clay makes a big leap, to his highest place yet on the Diva Rankings. (Has Clay’s team of stylists been reading my column?) This week, Clay finally caught up to current fashion trends, in a black leather sport coat, slim black flat-front pants, black boots (no more tennis shoes!) and a charcoal/black horizontal patterned long sleeved T, that was perhaps a bit too large, but otherwise tres chic. His hair (with new blonde highlights) was in a perfect Seacrest-Shag, and he appears to have toned down the orangey base makeup and too-shiny lip-gloss for a more natural (and dare I say bordering-on-masculine?) look. The addition of leather, and of pants that actually fit, made a huge difference. However, if Clay wants to win Diva of the Week, he will need to take things one-step further. He will have to take some risks… embrace his inner-nerd… and add a pop of color with a more-fitted (and perhaps textured) shirt. (Note to Clay: try Diesel. The shirts are colorful, funky, fitted, and more than a little bit nerdy-gay-chic. I’m sure Ryan would be happy to show you around, he clearly shops there regularly.) 3. Kimberly Locke
Last-week’s DOW falls to #3 this week. On the good side: the addition of subtle highlights to her sleek hair added texture and shine to her look. The choice of slimming basic black was again spot-on. And the interesting metallic pattern at her hip was funky and fresh. Also, I can’t really quibble with the black jacket, which was simple and flattering (if unremarkable.) But the pants were, unfortunately, poorly fitted and unflattering. In at least one shot, we were treated to a very un-Diva-like ‘camel toe,’ with one-too-many folds of fabric in the crotch area. And at least one side view revealed VPL (that’s Visible Panty Lines, to the uninitiated) and cellulite, which correctly-fitted black should be able to hide. My guess is that the problem was with both the fit (too tight) and the fabric (not enough give.) It’s sad how one pair of pants can ruin your whole week. Sorry, Kim! 4. Carmen Rasmusen
Carmen climbs slightly out of the Utah-sized hole she dug for herself in that emerald-green monstrosity she wore last week. Her hair, freshly highlighted, Farrah-flipping-fierce, and extended half way down her back, was inarguably gorgeous. And her chunky brown belt, combined with flatteringly-snug distressed jeans, was both cute and cutting-edge. Her white wrinkled cotton blouse may have been cute as well… too bad it was covered with an odd grayish pinstriped denim coat that was neither flattering nor appropriate with the rest of her outfit. And her caked-on makeup couldn’t hide the ravages of stress on her barely-post-pubescent skin. All things considered, though, this was hardly a disaster. In fact, other than last week, Carmen has managed to look relatively cute and fresh every week, no doubt pleasing her numerous fans. Nonetheless, I must admit, I jumped for joy and screamed like a little girl when this talentless, nauseatingly-perky, zit-covered, sheep-bleating, over-confident, thigh-slapping, yodeling Molly Mormon was finally booted. Good riddance! 5. Ruben Studdard
This was hardly Ruben’s worst week, in fact he was downright mediocre, making it difficult for even a bitchy columnist like myself to find good material. In a chocolate-brown suede shirt-jacket (nice color choice… chocolate brown is the new black, after all) and faded blue jeans (which I think he has worn three times now, no doubt it is difficult to find jeans that fit a man who is so… full-figured) there is little I can say negative about Ruben’s look. Wake me when the next contestant is on. 6. Joshua Gracin
Wow, this was a bad week for our tubby marine. For starters, the tan denim jacket was simply too small and fitted for someone with such bell-shaped tendencies. The sleeves were too short, and the shoulders too snug. Then, as he leaned forward, the waist of the jacket parted to reveal his ever-increasing belly, clad once-again in widening white. Finally, like last week, I must also criticize his ill-fitting jeans, which emphasized his problem hips and thighs. Furthermore, though Clay receives weekly bashings by the judges for his facial acrobatics, Josh has yet to hear a complaint about the Metamucil-grimace he makes whenever he attempts a high note. (And, I would offer, Clay’s geeky facial contortions are far more palatable than Josh’s uncomfortably twisted ones any day.)

Love me some Larry! Another great Journal, hon. The "camel-toe" comment knocked me out of my chair, so did this one: Nonetheless, I must admit, I jumped for joy and screamed like a little girl when this talentless, nauseatingly-perky, zit-covered, sheep-bleating, over-confident, thigh-slapping, yodeling Molly Mormon was finally booted. Good riddance! Bwaaaaahahahaha! Love it!

10. "thanks, fans!" |
LAST EDITED ON 04-25-03 AT 05:09 PM (EST)LAST EDITED ON 04-25-03 AT 05:08 PM (EST)(Edited by Larry to remove the political off-topic diatribe that was better suited to another forum.) Thanks for the support, Schnookie Palookie, munson, L82LIFE, katem, minitroll, GeorgiaBelle, ElroyJetson, drawde236, and Bebo. I have to say, with all I do for you people, you DARE to ask for more! That takes balls! (I like balls.) Next week, with only 5 Diva-wannabes remaining, perhaps I can find space in my column to mention the 'fashion' choices of ubiquitous-black-Tshirt-Simon, West-Hollywood-plastic-Ryan, age-inappropriately-attired-collagen-enhanced-Paula, and even horizontally-challenged-Randy.

13. "RE: Have you seen the latest EW?" |
Yes, I saw the article you are referring to, and I found it very interesting. I don't want to seem like some crazy gay activist or something (you people count on me for laughs, not political awareness!) but I think the undercurrent of homophobia on AI is pretty obvious. Jim Verraros, who came out this year, has said in interviews that Fox made an effort to keep his sexuality secret, and that there were other gay finalists (though he didn't name names) last season. Jim also has said he 'has issues' with Simon and with the way he was treated, but once again, he wouldn't elaborate. Interesting...
