I know I've got this cool new site design and all, but for the best Idol information out there right now, there has been no better blog -- in my opinion -- than this one, done by somebody (I think) named Jenny Giotti.

If you're not familiar with MySpace, you can subscribe to it such that you get an e-mail anytime she updates her site. It's pretty apparent that she has some connections with the show and some pretty regular contact with contestants (although, you might notice below that I got pinged by none other than the yet-to-be-seen-on-TV Chris Sligh).

Ahhh yeah, fro patro represent.

Alas, where most blogs seem to gather information from other sources (ahem, me), Jenny's is producing what looks to be some original info, such as the fact that our favorite Indian siblings apparently won't be headed to the Top 24 together.

Word is Sanjaya is headed to the court of public opinion, and Shymali is headed home on the last day of Hollywood Week.

Also, Jenny has posted an excellent find -- a photo of Minnesota contestant Michelle Steingas hittin' a beer bong and documentation of MySpace information relative to some alleged drug use. It shouldn't be a big deal; there were rampant rumors and stories about Kelli Pickler's past (along the same lines).
