OPEN POST: Kelly Clarkson Became The First "American Idol" 22-Years Ago!

By

It happened 22 years ago this month. Before she had a talk show, before she divorced the husband-from-hell, and back when cable and network TV could still unite us all, Kelly Clarkson became the first prize winner on "American Idol." Was it a more innocent time? Not necessarily, but Paula Abdul was a loopy, pill-popping delight (allegedly), Simon Cowell hadn't yet undergone a head transplant, and Randy Jackson was the cause of everyone and your grandmother saying, "Sorry, it's not for me, dog."

Second prize winner, Justin Guarini, has gone on to enjoy a more than respectable career on Broadway, and the rest of them? My mind has flushed them away. But I'll always remember Kelly's first prize rendition of "A Moment Like This." My eyes misted up when I first saw it, didn't yours? The genuine emotion of it has never been surpassed, I don't think, by any talent competition show since.

OPEN POST: PROJECT BABY FACE IS A VANITY DISASTER!

I love my headline here. It reads like something out of some shameless 50s tabloid headline about an alien boy hidden away from the world because he has the head of a 4-month-old infant. Well, in his ever more bizarre quest for youth, the disturbed but too rich to go broke in his absurd waste of money, 2 million this year alone, Bryan Johnson has discovered what us vain bitches have known for a while. He could have paid me a cool million to quietly whisper in his ear, "Hey, Bry, loss of fat in your face can age you." No duh? One look at a fat pudge of a baby and an 80-year-old is plenty to prove something obvious, yet this fool and his money part to discover these groundbreaking insights into aging. This genius has a team, and his goal is to "bio" hack aging, having once absconded with the blood of his teenage son to trick his middle-aged cells or some such nonsense. His cells laughed at his ass and refused to change.  Schadenfreude is my oldest friend, and I enjoy
