Idol gossip: Phil Stacey chosen by 'Vote for Worst' and other odds and ends

Vote for the Worst may have lost Sanjaya, but after polling their fans, they've decided to throw their support behind Phil Stacey. Phil gave one of his best performances during last week's country week. But other than that, his singing has been consistently uneven. He's also hampered by his pale looks, and is often compared to Nosferatu or Bat Boy. Phil, no stranger to the bottom three, might just hang on a bit longer with VFTW's support.
- Simon Cowell's London home was ransacked, with thieves making off with jewelry, silver, and electronic equipment. Simon left his house keys with building contractors who were working on his home, which the police called "unwise." Apparently, someone copied the keys and gained access to the house.
- Looks like folks in India were not upset to see Sanjaya finally go. I guess we can put that conspiracy theory to rest. Not that Sanjaya is going to just fade away quietly. The Times of India quoted him as saying, "It's time for an Indian musician to come to the scene and I'd like to be that person."
- McDonald's will be giving out American Idol Happy Meals toys until May 10, 2007. The Idol-inspired Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals will feature sunglasses, a portable MP3 toy, and other items slapped with American Idol logos that make "music" when you hit a button. Who exactly is going to be lining up for these toys? Toddlers? Tweens? Anybody? I have a feeling that these items will end up like all the other Happy Meals crap our kids don't need -- tossed into buckets at the bottom of their closets.
