It's Wednesday, which means we'll have to sit down for American Idol results tonight (after getting home from the Ani DiFranco show) without any local hottie to be nervous for. It's probably for the best. It's Andrew Lloyd Webber week, after all, and Kristy Lee Cook was supposedly planning on doing "Don't Cry For Me Argentina."

Just to put your minds at ease as we head slowly into the weekend, Kristy Lee Cook was in the bottom three on American Idol last night, along with Syesha Mercado and David Hernandez. But she gets one more shot. We dig Syesha a lot, and......
