The Hollywood week just took place for American Idol 8, and we're digging up information as we speak. Thanks to JoesPlace, we have a partial list of contestants who made it to Hollywood. Check out some of the people who made it to at least Hollywood that we may love (or love to hate) this year. If you know anything about these contestants, please let us know and we'll make sure to keep the information anonymous:

• Joanna Pacitti, our least favorite plant, has of course made it to Hollywood. So has stoner Jason Castro's little brother, Michael Castro.
• Anna Kaelin, the daughter of Gaspy's vocal coach, has made it. Hopefully she has a better breathing technique.
• Many past Hollywood rejects made it to Hollywood again this year, including Mishavonna Henson, Michael Bartul, Imari Molifua, Asa Barnes, and Angela Martin (the mom from Chicago with the special needs daughter from last season).
• Storylines from Hollywood contestants we're sure that we'll see: Otto Malone, who auditioned on crutches after being wounded in the National Guard in Afghanistan, and Scott Douglas MacIntyre, a blind contestant.
• Other rumored contestants: Derek Drake (this year's Arizona Idol winner), Felicia Barton, Jakob McKay, Jenesis Samoranos, Kaylee Cohen, Ryan P.A. Johnson, Sarah Rose Flack, Sharon Wilbur, Shelby Swartwood, and Von Smith.

19 Entertainment has decided to terminate its management relationship with half girl/half beast Jordin Sparks. Jorbacca puts out 3 hit songs and they still shitcan her? She must have done something pretty big! She's not dropped from her label 19 Recordings, but the Idol people will no longer manage her. Maybe it was one too many lessons about purity rings? Or maybe she ruined the entire catering budget in one meal? No wait... Simon Fuller saw Jorbacca in her hideous new clothing line. Either way, it's probably mutually beneficial, because 19E sucks almost as much as Jorbacca, and they both can probably do better.

VFTW's favorite little buddy Josiah Leming has released his first video and, as one would expect, it's an absolutely beautiful, touching and unique song called Angels Undercover. And just as great, his mother Sharon is now going to be a star on MTV as she appears in the video!

American Idol should be ashamed. Morons.

Join us at 10:00 PM Eastern, 9:00 PM Central to listen to VFTW radio. For that extra bit of interactivity, you can also call 201-661-7217 and wait for the prompt for All Digital Radio (then select that option) to talk live during the show. Check back in this post an hour before the show for a "listen live" link that on the All Digital Radio Network.

Edited To Add: Link above doesn't work. Instead, go to All Digital Radio to listen to the live show, or find us under Talk in the iTunes Radio listing. So many ways to listen!

This is really sad. Chris Richardson finally surfaces after fading into obscurity to put out his remix of one of the worst songs of the year, T-Pain's "Can't Believe It". Chris makes it worse by talking about bacon and Sarah Palin. Even more ridiculous? This is almost exactly the same thing Justin Timberlake already did. Though Justin's is legal. Please do something original, Chris.

Poor Gaspy. His fantards tried their best, but again he falls short of ever hitting #1. Gaspy's self-titled album will debut on the charts at #2 this week, according to Hits Daily Double, incredibly far behind Taylor Swift. The album's sales are OK, but nothing spectacular at 180,460. That might be enough for Jeff to give him half a glass of water in celebration. Post your thoughts in the comments section. Was this a decent debut or is Gaspy the next Blake Lewis?

Ex-American Idol producer (man, it feels good to say that) Nigel Lythgoe ranted to the New York Post about Idol's new changes. Nigel, sounding bitter about probably being fired, said, “I don’t like fourth judges. I think once you’ve been told ‘You suck,’ you don’t need to be told another three times." Oh really, Nigel? Reality Blurred makes the awesome point that "his criticism makes little sense. It’s not okay to be told “you suck” four times, but three times is perfectly fine? And seriously, this is the man who produced a show that delights in torturing its contestants during elimination episodes for our alleged entertainment." Hilariously true. And then Nigel clarifies that he didn't mind a fourth judge as a guest, just not permanently. So apparently it's OK to be told you suck four times as long as one of the times is from a guest. It's so nice to see him gone. He clearly was one of the people fucking this show up beyond recognition.
