Nikki's Thinkin'

American Idol shocker! It was Joshua Ledet that was dismissed from the Idol stage last night. I was sure that he and Jessica were going to be going to the finale. I personally prefer Phillip's style of music, but Joshua and Jessica are both much more talented vocalists. The judges would've been disappointed to see any of them go, but I think they were particularly sad to see that it was Joshua who was forced to leave them. Jennifer asked for a long hug during his goodbye performance. If you're curious about what happened after the broadcast ended here's the video from Americanidol.com:

Brandi Glanville says that she once felt like killing ex-husband Eddie Cibrian's new wife LeAnn Rimes, after the singer came to one of her son's soccer practices.

In a new interview with Australia's NW HQ magazine, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star says she remembers walking up to soccer practice to see LeAnn with her baby in her lap. Brandi said her blood was boiling and she thought she was going to kill her and physically hurt her. 

She adds that things are better now, but they are never going to be best friends.

RELATED: LeAnn Rimes Almost Took Out A Restraining Order

LeAnn Rimes was so "haunted" by Brandi Glanville's interview admitting that she "wanted to kill" her at one point that she almost took out a restraining order.

Sources say Brandi has told LeAnn to her face multiple times that she would kill her if she could.

The source adds that LeAnn is scared of Brandi and believes she is unstable… She even considered getting a restraining order.

I'm going to be announcing for another great event at Dyracuse, the Rapid Angels Hillclimb. The Hillclimb is Sunday May 20th and gets started around 11am. There will be food on the grounds so come on out and grab some lunch. Spectators 12 and under are free.

I will have a WDEZ Club keyword with me and some Mt Olympus Water park passes so stop by the announcer booth.

Dyracuse is located 15 miles south of Wisconsin Rapids off Hwy 13 on County Rd O.

SKYLAR? Are you kidding me? Hollie and Phillip are both still there and Skylar gets voted off! She was a great performer. She will no doubt have a country career. She'll be like Kellie Pickler.

I loved her performance of CCR "Fortunate Son"

Carrie Underwood performed "Blown Away" the title track for her new album and tour. I thought it was pretty good though a lot of people trashed her on the American Idol Facebook page saying things like "Anyone of the idols could've sung that better." "Sorry Carrie, didn't like that song." "Too much fake tanner."

I just thought, "Wow, that dress is really blowing we're gonna get a hoo-ha shot pretty soon!"

What did you think of Carrie's performance?

We are getting new cubicles in the broadcast center which we are all very excited about. Tear down of our current cubicles starts late next week which means that everyone has been busy cleaning stuff out of their desks and taking stuff off their walls. We work in radio so you can imagine our cubicles are filled with CDs, music posters, pictures and lots of other junk. I've already filled one box with just the stuff I took off my cubicle walls. I need to get another box for all the stuff in my desk. It's so strange to see all the empty walls. It kind of makes me sad actually. It will only be worse next week when all the cubes are empty and I'm sitting at my poor empty desk. 

Carpeting will be torn out on Monday so all the dust and stuff that will come out of it will make me all stuffy and miserable on Monday (I should wear a mask). Tuesday the new carpeting goes in so I will be high from the glue. Then Wednesday our new cubicles will be installed. So by Thursday we'll be able to move back in. I'm very excited. I just hope we're allowed to decorate again.

A Nutley, New Jersey mother, Patricia Krentcil, 44, was arrested after a school nurse noticed burns on her 6 year old daughter. When the nurse asked the child how she got the burns she replied, "I go tanning with mommy."

Krentcil is being charged with second degree child endangerment, but maintains that this is just a big misunderstanding.

Here is her interview with WCBS in New York: 

Are you kidding me with this woman? Does she think she looks good? Addicted? Is there a question?

Ok I laughed out loud. Is this really funny or am I just a dork? 

Fishing for attention or do you believe that these gorgeous stars think they're ugly?

I am so excited to be the announcer for the Rapid Angels Motocross this Sunday. I hope you'll come out to check it out. It's at Dyracuse Recreational Area 15 miles south of Wisconsin Rapids off Hwy 13 on Cty Rd O on Sunday, racing should get rolling around 9am. You can race or watch races for ATVs, PeeWees, and all adult dirt bike classes. Concessions are available on the grounds and spectators 12 and under are free.

For those of you unfamiliar with my background I grew up around motorcycles. My dad has worked at and eventually became an owener of Country Sports Inc in Wisconsin Rapids my whole life. He has also always been a Rapid Angel club member as well as an ATV Club member. He raised us kids on and around motorcycles. We attended the events at Dyracuse every year and as I got older I started helping out whether it was in the food stand, sign up, or now in the announcer booth. I remember watching my brother and dad race there year after year. Two years ago my brother actually proposed to his now wife as he crossed the finish line during the Harescramble. He jumped off his bike still on the track, let it fall to the ground, dropped to his knee, and proposed. It was awesome and just so fitting.

Dyracuse is a special place for riders. It gives them a nice, well kept place to ride and have fun all summer long. It is a great place to practice and race. It is kept up by the town of Rome and the Rapid Angels Motorcycle Club. The funds for the upkeep come from the motocross (4/29/12), up coming hillclimb (5/20/12), and harescramble (9/30/12). Come out and enjoy the races while supporting motorcycle riding in Central WI.

This video by Lisa Gail Allred was posted by a 3rd party because she deleted it. It reappeared on YouTube on 4/20 which is fitting because she must have been high when she recorded it! It has gotten over 300,000 views since Friday, Friday, gotta get down on Friday (oh wait that's a different horrible internet song)!! 

I was so sad to see Colton go last night on American Idol. I really liked him, he's inventive, creative, and an exciting performer. But, I have to agree that this was an off week. However, every other week has been steller. Hollie on the other hand has had all bad weeks and one good week. I guess it just happened that her good week fell on Colton's bad week which must have been why he got the boot. Elise could have gone home instead and I would've been fine with that. I love her voice, but she doesn't have the best performances and I know she won't win so her elimination is just around the corner. 

Here is his performance of Bad Romance: 

I don't think Colton would've won, but it's so fun to see him perform I always want just one more week.

Here's his farewell interview:
