Great Scott!

Ex-'Idol' Won't Help Fox Probe Charges

It's finally over. When the giant "19" sign popped up on the screen, cutting off the last minutes of Scott Savol's Idol journey, I pumped my fists into the air with joy.

The ABC special, however, left me wondering if we've also seen the last of Paula. Yes, these charges of cheating come from a grifter, but he's a grifter with phone records and recorded messages and witnesses who all appear to be telling the same story. If this is all made up, Corey Clark has gone to quite a lot of trouble to line everything up to look real. Singing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to Paula and giving her flowers isn't going to make all of this go away.

By the way, Corey may have made it to the top twelve, but does anyone think he'd have beaten his season's eventual top trio of Ruben, Clay, and Kimberly? That seems a dubious prospect to me based on his singing last night. Then again, Ryan Seacrest is still around even after sporting that surfer hair he had the night Corey was bounced from the show, so anything's possible...
