IDOL'S BEST DAYS ARE OVER...
The "Hollywood Reporter" conducted an "American Idol" poll . . . in which they asked 750 current and former "Idol" viewers for their thoughts on the show. 750 viewers seems like a pretty small sample size, if you ask me.
Here are some of the results:
67%, or two-thirds, say they believe "Idol's" best days are over. However, almost half, 47%, say they'll, quote, "definitely or probably" still tune in when Season 10 premieres January 19th. 26% "definitely or probably" will NOT watch. 27% "might or might not watch."
48% say the addition of JENNIFER LOPEZ has made them MORE interested in watching this season...and 43% said the same of STEVEN TYLER. 60% say the changes "Idol" made are for the better.
Viewers that described themselves as "hardcore fans" were the only group that expressed disappointment over KARA DIOGUARDI leaving, but 40% of the "hardcore fans" said ELLEN DEGENERES' departure makes them "more likely to watch."
Only 21% of "Idol" viewers could name LEE DEWYZE as last season's winner.
28% of viewers say they watch "Idol" for the embarrassingly bad performances...52% watch it for the, "awesome musical talent."
45% said SIMON COWELL'S comments would influence their voting more than any of the other judge.
Interestingly enough, RANDY JACKSON was voted America's favorite judge...among both the past judges and the current ones, even though Steven and J-Lo haven't been seen in action yet. Kara was the least popular.
And even MORE interestingly, 86% of people feel that Randy has the authority to judge musical talent. That was the HIGHEST percentage among all past and current judges. Ellen was the least qualified, with only 36% saying she could judge talent. (Duh)
Half the people who watch "American Idol" say they vote, and one-third of the voters are from the South. 61% of the voters are female.

THIS IS WHY...
...right here. So I'm trying to get rid of a car right now. And someone told me I needed to post it on Craigslist. Ehhhhhhhhhhh, kinda sketches me out a bit. Why? Stories like this!
On December 29th, a 21-year-old man from Brooklyn...whose name wasn't released...put up an ad on Craigslist, trying to sell his 2005 Nissan Maxima. Valsyl contacted him to set up a test drive.
They took a test drive together and then Valsyl asked if he could take it for a drive solo. The seller agreed. And as soon as Valsyl got in the car he drove off...and the seller never saw him again. He reported the theft to the NYPD.
Then, on Sunday, the seller was digging through Craigslist's autos section and found something suspicious: A 2005 Nissan Maxima for sale with just slightly higher mileage than the one he'd had stolen.
And he quickly figured out what happened: Valsyl was SO STUPID that he went BACK to Craigslist four days later to sell the car he'd STOLEN off of Craigslist.
The original seller set up a meeting with Valsyl to test drive the car. They met on Sunday night...a local neighborhood watch group grabbed Valsyl...and the original seller called the police.
Valsyl was arrested for petty larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
