"I'm not sure if there's a God, or a heaven, but one thing I can tell you, your daddy's going to Hell." -Rev. Hubert, "Nine Pretty Darn Angry Men," King of the Hill (S3, E7) That pretty much sums up my view of Heidi & Spencer's brand of Christianity. I know Jesus is everywhere, but does He really deserve to be dragged into the jungle by Heidi, Spencer, and Stephen Baldwin? Hasn't He suffered enough? Come on. You know you're blaspheming when Daniel Baldwin becomes the voice of truth and reason. (Only one person will understand what I'm talking about, and that's okay.) Tags: i'm a celebrity...

 The wonderfully talented ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jlh has written a sweeping a/u novel, which she describes thusly: "As you may have noticed, I've started posting a new chaptered fic, A Dream That Could Not Last, and now I'm asking you all to give it a go. Even if you aren't an Idol watcher, or you haven't read real-person-fic, you may find something here that you like—because it's an alternate universe, you needn't know anything about Idol to follow what's happening in the story.
"As is usual for me, A Dream That Could Not Last is very much an ensemble piece, focused on three main pairings—one lesbian, one straight, one gay. The gay couple is Ryan and Simon (natch) and they're at the center of the story, but the other two pairs are just as important, and a bunch of other women and men float around in the secondary pairings.
"If you're interested in the early days of WWII in Europe, or the romances and romantic comedies of the 30s and 40s, I think you'll like in this story. It follows the period November '39 to November '40 in the lives of some Americans in London—reporters at the BBC, pilots in the RAF, and musicians in a swing/jazz revue. As with the 60s Brill Building AU, I'll be putting in historical notes and songs, and this time, lots of art from bhanesidhe! I'll be posting a new chapter every Thursday.
"This is also the first time I've completely written a fic before posting it, so you won't even be signing on to a work-in-progress. It's been in the works for almost a year, so I'm excited to share it now. I even changed my LJ layout in its honor—now I'm all black and white and grey, like an old movie!
"Thanks, and I hope you like it!"I've already had the priviledge of reading the story as a whole; the experience was like luxuriating in a steamy bubble bath with a beloved paperback. If you'd like that feeling, I suggest you give it a go: here. Tags: american idol, jlh, raves, ryan/simon

Oh, and note to Fox: If you have, as you suggested at the press tour, gone all green and ecologically responsible, maybe it's best not to open an "Idol" auditions episode with a parade of gas guzzling stretch limos, each containing a single "American Idol" judge, all bound for the exact same joint where the auditions are being held. Just sayin'. -Lisa de Moraes I have to agree. It wasn't so glaring previously, when they'd show the limos arriving one at a time to the venue. We could assume (pretend?) that the judges were coming in from different places on separate flights at varying times. Last night was definitely an eyebrow-raising moment. A band would travel together in the same limo, so why not the judges? It's not like they're the president and vice president and can't travel together for security reasons. Maybe the others don't want to be around Simon's smoking, but I think another solution could be found. If it's just that Simon and Ryan need some "alone time," that's what the hotel is for. p.s. to my Rymon f'listers: The pics I posted here were a day late because I had to pull them off another site. If I had capped my own, they would've had a big, pink map of Maryland and the words WINTER STORM WATCH plastered almost on Simon's head. Tags: american idol, ryan/simon
