Guest Mentor on American Idol

Last night, it was Slash from the band Guns N Roses (yes, I familiar with said band).

I am really wondering what GNR fans feel about this. I remember a couple years ago, Jon Bon Jovi was the guest (one of the BEST EPISODES OF THE SHOW EVER) and people made a big deal about that one - this seems like much more of a stretch.

Moreso, I am wondering what Slash would have said had we rewound about six years and told him he'd be one day guest mentoring on American Idol.

Slash did, at one point, acknowledge that he never expected to find himself on the show, yadda, but then said some crap about the amount of talent this season or some other lie. Nothing against the talent this season, but the only honest answer as to why Slash was guest-mentoring on American Idol, I think we all know, is "I needed to pay the bills".

Celebrity Crushes....

So I've been known to have, at times, unconventional taste in the men department (believe me, ask ANY of my female friends on this one). Who are my celebrity crushes, you might ask? See above. Top down - Jon Bon Jovi (well, 20 years ago), Paul Rudd, and, as of lately, Reid Scott (Brando on My Boys). HOT. I don't hear many other girls talking about Reid Scott - maybe I can have him. He used to have a thing for PJ, a single Sun-Times employee living in Chicago, so I really think I'm his type.

Completely and Totally Pointless

The other night, I was out painting the town red and heard a classic dance floor staple.  "Ohh, we're halfway there...."

Even despite the hair, you can file this man under 'married men too old for me that I somehow find desirable'.   Put him next to Bill Clinton.
