JORDIN SPARKS WITH "The SAUCE" VJ JARED COTTER

Per The Jersey Journal

The pretty plus-size model performed "I Say A Little Prayer," but a thousand candle-light vigils couldn't save her from elimination on last night's results show.

At first, I thought she might squeak through. When Amy Davis, who sang a tone-deaf version of "Where the Boys Are," got the boot first, I prayed that Borgella's chances for survival were greater.

However, when host Ryan Seacrest summoned Borgella and Amanda Overmyer - a dead ringer for Ozzy Osbourne's daughter Kelly - I knew the end was certain for Hoboken's karaoke queen.

After breaking the bad news to Borgella, Seacrest asked the judges to weigh in.

"This is tough," Randy Jackson said. "Your nerves just got the best of you."

A smug-faced Simon Cowell said Borgella's song choice was horrible.

"That should be a lesson learned," he said. "You can't breeze your way through."

But if there's ever an "American Idol" season where someone could breeze through, I believe it's this one. Granted, the finalists have only been through one week. But I and thousands of other "Idol" junkies can only hope for a drastic about-face to make this show worth watching.

I don't see a Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia or a Carrie Underwood in the bunch.

As for Borgella, my advice is to hold your beautiful head up high despite the short "Idol" sting. You beat long odds to get to this point.

Stick to material in your range and leave power ballads to triple-lung crooners like Aretha.

I didn't think she did tooo bad. But it could have been better. I hope they don't vote her off tonight. I want to see what she can do with another chance up there. TELL ME LADIES WHAT DID YOU THINK OF MISS BORGELLA???

Do you remember Miss Joanne Borgella??

Well of course you do. She was the first Miss F.A.T. Chance. You know the pageant created by comedianne/actress Mo'nique.

Well, Joanne is back in the limelight once again as a finalist in American Idol. Yahoooo!!!! Represent for the big girls Joanne

ThickMisses will be staying on Joanne the entire time she is in the contest. Everyone send her your love on her Myspace page

Is it me or has she lost weight??

The title of Ledisi's breakthrough album "Lost & Found" is also an apt description for her career path.

It’s the first time Martin Lawrence has hit a woman. Lawrence says of his fight scene with Monique, who plays his feisty sister in Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, “It ain’t often you get to tackle a woman like Monique and yank out a little hair weave and all that. But she got me back in the end.”

In fact, word is Martin was cringing even though the amply endowed female comedian was pulling her punches. Co-star Mike Epps says, “I think I remember Martin calling ‘Cut,’ at one point and saying, ‘Monique, that one was a little close.’”
