shameless self-promotion

I've started up my other blog, Ledger Idol, just in time for the seventh season of everyone's favorite reality TV show.

OK, make that my favorite reality TV show. That I have to blog about.

Anyway, fans of "American Idol" can count on Ledger Idol as their No. 1 source for AI news. I'll be live blogging every episode beginning with the Jan. 15 two-hour premiere, but you can regularly visit the blog NOW for daily updates.

I just posted a pretty interesting story about a Web site that lists what it claims are the names of this season's 50 finalists.

You can access Ledger Idol here.

I can't wait for a return of all my favorite AI commenters. That means you, Lisa!
