We are a little ashamed to admit this, but … we did not watch American Idol last night. Truthfully, we only like AI in the beginning, when all those awful people who think they can sing try out. Still, we have to mention, since its the biggest craze since hula hooping, that Taylor Hicks won last night's competition.

On Good Morning America this morning, Diane Sawyer jabbed at Charlie Gibson by saying "Charlie is Taylor Hicks' hair inspiration" and she quoted Ryan Seacrest's profound realization that launced a movie starring Hugh Grant and Mandy Moore:

Announcing the results, Ryan Seacrest noted that "an astounding 63.4 million votes" were cast, "more than any President in this country has ever received."

That's pretty obvious. But, after reading this, we really regretted not watching.

But the biggest show-stoppers were Clay Aiken, who debuted a jaw-dropping new hipster hairdo, and Prince, who performed two songs solo before an ecstatic audience.

Hipster hair? Oh, man. That would've been hilarious. Well, we were watching Lost, so we're pretty sure you can forgive us. But ABC convinced us to watch GMA today instead of Today because Jennifer Aniston was going to be on.

And because she is our idol (meaning she's our third favorite celebrity to try and make cry*) we'll be back with an update on her sure to be gut wrenching interview. Well, at least we know she'll look a bit more alive than Lindsay Lohan did during her pathetic appearance on that other show.
