Here's why it's a good thing that I'm not a fan/regular viewer of AMERICAN IDOL. The only performance I liked from last night's Andrew Lloyd Webber fest was Syesha's. Her version of "One Rock and Roll Too Many" proved the IDOL aphorism about the importance of song selection: Hers was perfect for her. Everyone else's — not so much. The less said about Brooke's false start, the better. I know the crowd (and judges) went wild for Carly's "Jesus Christ, Superstar," but I thought she was just yelling into the microphone while the backup singers carried the tune. But the biggest raves were reserved for David Cook, who performed "Music of the Night" — to my mind — as if he'd just heard it for the first time. He cheated on the finale and broke off the last note. I just wasn't feeling it. My bottom three: Brooke, Carly and Jason. Bye, Brooke.

As I stated earlier on this site, I'm not quite sure how to react to the whole Julian storyline involving the mishaps with his manhood on PASSIONS.

Hello AMC fans! It's not often that you hear soap execs admit that they were wrong, which is why I really appreciated my candid conversation last week with ABC Daytime President Brian Frons. Instead of defending the killing off of Dixie, he openly admitted that it was the wrong decision and that the poisoned pancake method of death was an especially big botch job. Don't miss next week's issue for his juicy remarks.

I'm a huge sniveling coward when it comes to flying but I'm not alone: Tracey E. Bregman (Lauren, Y&R) shares my phobia. In fact, whenever one of us is about to board a flight, we will text the other of our impending nerve-wracking ride (I mean, who else could possibly understand?).

I could not be more excited about the OLTL feature in the 4/29 issue of Digest, which is on stands now. Imagine getting two daytime powerhouses, Hillary B. Smith (Nora) and Jerry verDorn (Clint), to sit down to lunch with you and compare their years of experience. Upon first arriving, both were giddy as they realized the other had come in to Manhattan from the suburbs on their day off to do the interview.

I was sick yesterday, so ill I actually stayed home. So ill that I didn't have the strength to watch the soaps as they aired. The remote control was too heavy to lift. Oh poor me.

What a great weekend this was for fans of the fantasy genre...

DOCTOR WHO: In the 90-minute Christmas special "Voyage of the Damned," the Doctor's TARDIS collided with the Titanic — a space-faring alien tour bus designed to resemble "the most famous ship from Earth." But when the tour was sabotaged by the company's unscrupulous boss, the Doctor had lead the survivors to safety in what amounted to The Poseidon Adventure in Space. David Tennant turned in the most restrained performance of his tenure as the Doctor's 10th persona.

Did anyone get the license plate of that truck? If so, send it to Ozzy, so the challenge powerhouse of SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA — FANS VS. FAVORITES will know what hit him! Ozzy had the hidden immunity idol in his back pocket, but despite some unease decided not to play it because he was so confident that Jason was going to be booted as part of a separate double-cross. In order for the group to win a fancy feast, everyone promised not to vote out Jason if he allowed Parvati to win immunity — a promise no one intended to keep.

This week, I caught up with Krista Tesreau (ex-Mindy, GL; ex-Tina, OLTL) for our Where Are They Now section in the 5/13 issue. I won't give away too much (you'll have to pick up Digest for all the details), but I will say that she's definitely got a full plate these days with two little kids and a handful of infomercial appearances.

I've been watching DAYS OF OUR LIVES every morning for the last two weeks, and I'm happy to report that the results are already visible: I'm happier, more cheerful, and generally ready to tackle the day. It's like a cross between crack and brain bleach! The former because the hilarity of Nicole antagonizing just about everybody (and giving off major sparks with Philip) just sets me rolling ... and the latter because after the past two weeks of "my" show, AS THE WORLD TURNS, I sorely need something to dissipate the steam building between my ears.
