Apparently a bunch of Jason's fans got a gift of 105 balloons together with messages and it took 5 vans to deliver them all from the store!! They were at an event tonight and the vans were driving all over town trying to find him. They finally caught up with him when he got back and he got all of them. There were so many, The Davids had to help him carry them all. Apparently he's all smiles and laughing. There were 7 bunches of 15. One of his friends contacted either the LA Times or some other media outlet and they're sending a reporter to cover it. They're expecting pictures tomorrow. How cool is that?!! **I'm not sure about that many vans for 105 balloons, but they had all different kinds and all different sizes. Each bunch had a different message from the fans. How cute! Can't wait to see the photos. That was a creative thing to do. I can picture him goofing around with all those balloons! ;D

I just don't think he is hot or can sing all that well. (and I love to stir up controversy and get Nancy all defensive about her crush)

Ignoring Mary Beth's comment... The Dreadheads/Castro Fans did it!! Check out the LA Times: ‘American Idol’: Jason Castro’s wacky gift05:22 PM PT, Apr 25 2008 Jason Castro was having a rough week, and the dreadheads knew it. The loyal fan club, whose website daydreamingboy.com includes downloadable Support Jason fliers, watched Jason get slaughtered for his rendition of “Memory” and then learned from their sources in the Castro camp that he was coping with a mix of exhaustion and fever chills to boot. So what were the devoted fans to do when their Idol was suffering from a high temperature and low morale? Why, send presents, of course. “We’re always trying to think of things we can do to lift his spirits,” explained Christalle Baxter, known to her fellow dreadheads as “dreadhead No. 1201.” Concerned that a gift of flowers could worsen Jason’s illness by aggravating his allergies, the dreadheads settled on balloons. Christalle set up a Paypal account, and it wasn’t long before the donations poured in. In the end, the dreadheads collected $450 and ordered seven bouquets of balloons from Planet Florist in Westwood. According to Paul Psai, a designer at the florist, it took three cars to transport all the balloons. “It was the biggest order that we ever had." “I get an e-mail saying, ‘Can you talk to the delivery person for the balloons?’ ” recalled Stephanie Baisey, a loyal dreadhead and friend of the Castro family. “It’s taken a team of people to deliver these things,” the deliveryman told her, adding that since Jason Castro was not available, he had left the balloons at the site. When Stephanie asked who’d taken the balloons, the incredulous deliveryman replied, “Lady, who took 'em? Everybody in the building took 'em!” Planet Florist employees described the order as “very specific.” The balloons were printed with messages like, “congratulations,” “thinking of you,” “thank you” and “get well soon.” And of course there were plenty of smiley-face balloons. So don’t be fooled by the implications of their name; the dreadheads are an active bunch. And when they aren’t busy ordering truckloads of balloons, they are busy inhabiting the unique and complex virtual world they have built around their dreadlocked Idol. The dreadheads ride around in virtual tour buses and gather for virtual pep rallies and bonfires in Jason’s honor. When Jason sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow,” the group hosted a Hawaiian-themed bonfire, complete with virtual lawn chairs, tiki torches and, of course, virtual firemen. And although a love of Jason unites the dreadheads, their affections aren’t reserved for their figurehead alone. They have invited Kristy Lee Cook and David Cook’s fan clubs to their bonfires, and they even collected money for David Cook’s sick brother. According to Stephanie, the site “really represents Jason.” She describes Jason as a “hey, how are you, everyone’s my friend, kinda guy.” In keeping with that mindset, the dreadheads prohibit negativity on their website, even toward Jason’s competitors. Despite their share-the-love mentality, however, the dreadheads are none too pleased with the widespread belief that the battle will come down to the two Davids. To them, Jason Castro is the real deal. “What you see truly is what you get with him,” Stephanie explains, noting that Jason has no vocal coaches or managers picking his songs or telling him what to say. “He just sang [‘Memory’] because he liked the words,” she says simply, referring to Jason’s decision to tackle the sacred cow from “Cats” during Andrew Lloyd Weber week. “I doubt he even knows what he’s wearing.” - Stephanie Lysaght (Photo courtesy Fox)

Mary Beth, you're a rabble rouser! Too funny. #th74a73472#
I agree that Jason is cute. He seems like a nice guy and has such a good sense of humor.

MB, ya crack me up. I have to join the ribbing, 'cause I'm expecting Jason to come on stage with a big old doobie. Not because of the dreads, but because of the 'duuude' expression on his face.

MJ is attending the White House Correspondent's Dinner. They're rebroadcasting it now on CSPAN. They're doing the arrivals now and apparently, they will show MJ!!! **ETA** Just saw him!! He looked so handsome. The girls in the crowd are screaming his name and taking pics...as Colin Powell and Michael Chertoff, and Martha Stewart are walking by. #giggle# Now he's posing for pics!! They'll probably rebroadcast it again. You gotta love this country. People like Henry Kissenger are there and the crowd is screaming for MJ. ;D I'd love to who is sitting at his table. #giggle# ***ETA*** Here is a video clip of it from You Tube: MJ AT THE CORRESPONDENSE DINNER

Other than them, I guess David C. seems to be the only good singer left. I haven't been watching but I heard he did a good job last week.

ALL ABOARD!!! MiG is on the JC/DC TRAIN!!
Check out this exerpt from his mtvasia.com interview posted above in the MiG Press thread:
MTV: Do you follow American Idol?
MiG: [Laughs] Unfortunately, yes I do! I'm big enough of a man to admit it, yeah. I watch it, yeah. And I love it.
MTV: Any favorites?
MiG: At the moment I'm gunning for David Cook. I'm sorry that Michael John, the Aussie left because I'd go for any Aussie in these talent shows because I know what its like to be a foreigner in a strange American talent show. It's pretty daunting. David Cook is quite exceptional!
MTV: Who do you think will win though at the end of the day?
MiG: I feel like such a groupie, but Jason Castro. I think his future is set but he's awesome as well. But then again maybe David Archuleta will win only because he's so young.
