This would be a sad day for Superman if it weren't for the fact that Russians are so lame.

Our favorite part of the article is this:
"The actual mineral found at a mine near Jadar does not glow, is not radioactive, has very tiny crystals and is white rather than green. It is to be named Jadarite."

Right, other than the fact it doesn't look or react like kryptonite, it's the exact same thing! Hey, we have a piece of Kryptonite too, it's called a rock.

Spinal Tap is reuniting, which is great news for anyone wanting to know what Lenny is up to.

We actually like the idea of a Spinal Tap reunion, although a Spinal Tap movie sequel would be better (the music was our least favorite part of the movie). The actors, who are now getting old but are stilling wearing the silly wigs pretending to be rock stars, would be a great parallel with real life rock stars who are now getting old but are still wearing silly wigs and pretending to be rock stars. There's a statement to be made.

For all of you spoiler freaks out there, here is a look at some upcoming TV show endings. Minor to major spoilers follow.

And now we come to American Idol, the show that cares. We're actually thankful American Idol ran it's "look, we really do care, AND NOW YOU WILL TO" show last night, because we were able to fast forward even quicker than usual. We made it through an hour show in 10 minutes. Nice.

This week the Idol's picked songs that inspired them. Not surprising, all the songs were mediocre.

Chris was up first and sang "Change the World," the Eric Clapton song. The judges seemed to think he was great, but we think they were afraid to trash him on charity night. The more votes he gets, the more little kids that are saved! We can't compromise the integrity of AI people!

Melinda was up next and sang a song no one under 40 would care about. Actually, her best performances can all be classified like that. Yes, kids, THIS is your American Idol! Can we stop deluding ourselves into believing that just because she is a good singer she'll be the next pop star. Teen girls are not buying anything she makes. It won't happen.

Blake sings "Imagine." Wow, quite a risk there. We guess "We are the World" was taken. Blake should always sing a song in which he is moving. He is the only American Idol who doesn't look wooden on the stage ... and he picks a song in which he sits on a stool and sings the whole time. And bring back the beat box!

LaKiesha was asked to pick the song that inspired her and she chose a song by that legendary songstress ... Fantasia. Sigh. That is exactly why we don't like her. No personality, no depth, no passion. Just lots and lots of blah. We're tired of blah.

Phil sang some country song. Last week we predicted he would now position himself as a country star, since he won't win in the competition. Our prediction came true. So, yes, country music fans, remember when he is peddling his album to you in 12 months that AFTER he saw he couldn't become a pop star he went to his SECOND option and decided to pursue country music. Got that? Don't buy his album. You're being used! Bamboozled! Hoodwinked!

Finally, Jordin sang. We guess she is good. We mean, she is fine. But, like the rest of this season, we just don't care. Bring back Sanjaya.

Predictions for this week: Final three LaKeisha, Chris and Blake.

Out this week: We're rooting for LaKeisha, but we're feeling Chris.
