There was the usual glitz and glamor at Wal-Mart's annual shareholder meeting in Arkansas yesterday (June 1). "This is like going to the Wal-Mart Oscars," event host Sinbad quipped to applause. And the funny thing is, the comedian wasn't joking.

Posted Thursday May 24, 2007 3:41 PM GMT

In a star-studded two-hour event, the human beatbox (aka 25year-old Blake Lewis) was conquered by 17year-old Jordin Sparks. With a record 74 million votes cast, this American Idol finale was the biggest to date.

American Idol Update

Last night was round two of eliminations for the Fox Network’s American Idol. The contestants were subject to a British Invasion theme, which came out quite nicely. The show wasn’t lacking in the painful vocal moments, though!

Overall, the two best performers seem to be Jordin Sparks and Melinda Doolittle. Sparks brought the pain, as she always does, with something new. Doolittle will have to start varying her songs/performance or risk becoming boring, though.

Brandon Rogers has been eliminated from the American Idol roster. Rogers, 28, hails from Los Angeles and is the first finalist to be voted off the talent show.
