Idols Not Idle

If you've been upset about American Idol contestants being voted off before you thought they should go, worry not - all of the Top Ten finalists will take part in the American Idol Tour. The tour dates have been released. You know how they always talk about how hard they have to work during the show? The tour is no different - they'll be appearing in 50 cities in just a few months! That includes their show at the BankAtlantic Center August 20th. Tickets go on sale May 17th.

Animal babies

Other than human babies, is there anything cuter than a baby animal? Animal Planet has a whole series called "Growing Up", which features a baby Giant Panda, baby seals, baby hyena, moose and gorilla, each in their own one-hour special.

Hard to believe that this:

will eventually be up to 6 feet tall and 350 pounds!
Maybe eating 40 pounds a day of bamboo has something to do with it???!

Howie Do It!

Howie Mandel has once again endeared himself to viewers as host of 'Deal or No Deal'. He's endeared himself to network execs too - no surprise - when you make money for them, they're always happy! So they'll be bringing us more Howie, in the form of 'Howie Do It', a new sitcom that he'll produce and star in. Don't know what it'll be about yet - it's going to be "unscripted", so Howie can adlib (which will probably be funnier than having a script ... ).
