Alexis Cohen was tragically killed early Saturday morning (July 25, 2009) when she was struck by a car in a hit-and-run incident. Daniel Bark has been charged with aggravated manslaughter and drunken driving.
Alexis Cohen (a.k.a. "Glitter Girl") twice appeared on American Idol. In season 7, Alexis first appeared. Outside the audition room, Alexis ranted for a while, spewing a string of profanities combined with multiple confused cliches and mixed metaphors. In season 8, Alexis reappeared with a new attitude, promising that she would behave. After her audition, she ended up giving the judges the double-finger before leaving.
Alexis was a great Idle Idol. Even while ranting and raving, she seemed to be upbeat about the whole thing. She was working on stand-up comedy and had even posted a MySpace video just the day before her death. If you are not allergic to adult language, you can watch the Alexis Cohen MySpace video.
Thanks, Alexis, for the fun times in both seasons.

Idle Idol Paula Goodspeed was found dead in her car near Paula Abdul's home on Tuesday, November 11. Reports indicate that Goodspeed died of a prescription drug overdose.
During her audition, Paula mentioned that she was a huge fan of Paula Abdul's. People.com reports that Goodspeed had changed her name from Sandra to Paula. Paula had drawn life-size pictures of Paula Abdul. Media outlets have been painting Goodspeed as a stalker, noting that Goodspeed had sent dozens and dozens of letters to Paula, shown up unexpectedly, and sent flowers to Abdul the week before under Abdul's boyfriend's name. Family members have insisted that she was just a big fan and not much more.
Idle Idols appreciates Paula's audition and wishes she had stuck around to share more of herself with the world. Our hearts and prayers go out to Paula's family.

Sanjaya Malakar is easily the worst American Idol that made it through to the finals this year. As has been standard since AI3, Vote for the Worst chose Sanjaya as their contestant to vote for. Howard Stern has also jumped on board and encouraged his listeners to also vote for Sanjaya.
Civil litigator Danielle Caminiti-Aidala feels that American Idol could sue Stern and VFTW for trying to subvert the Idol voting process. She claims that American Idol Productions has a case because "the Howard Sterns of the world and the Vote for the Worst dot coms of the world are intentionally interfering with malicious intent to sabotage American Idol."
