Your Top 24 Ranked by Social Media Popularity
While actual talent, singing ability and stage presence may play a small part in who will be named your next American Idol, the not-so-ugly-fact of the matter is that the success and/or failure of a contestant on America’s most-watched singing competition very often boils down to nothing more than popularity. Like High School, it’s not what, but rather who and how many people (on facebook!) you know. Which is why why we thought it might be a fun exercise to post — from now until your next IDOL is crowned — a weekly mashup of the remaining contestants popularity on their official show-sanctioned twitter, facebook and myspace accounts in a new feature we like to call AMERICAN IDOL: By The Numbers.
When GUIDING LIGHT decided to clone Reva back in 1998, the disasterous tale drew groans from even the long-running soap’s most ardent fans and snickers from the non-soap community. Despite the amazing talents of Reva’s portrayer, Kim Zimmer, the story was a rushed, ridiculous mess that might well have helped put the show on the path to its eventual demise. Flashforward just over a decade, and the folks at Telemundo have shown that sudsy drama and human genetics can, in fact, be an entertaining mix as evidenced by the telenovela EL CLONE, which began its 26-week run earlier this week.
The Spanish-language sudser stars hunky Maurcio Ochrmann as twin brothers Lucas and Diego, and the stunningly gorgeous Sandra Echeverria plays Jade. Fate finds the three Miami residents on a collision course in Morocco, where the serial explores not only the romantic complications encountered by the three but such potentially-touchy subjects as Islamic customs and their impact on a young woman raised in a modern society. Following the death of Jade’s elderly mother, she is shipped off to Morocco to live with her uncle, with whom she immediately clashes thanks to their differing values. Her uncle Ali also has heated debates with his longtime friend Albeiri, who happens to be a scientist interested in the cloning process.
And while so far, the only clones introduced on the program have been of the sheep variety, that won’t be the case much longer…

… But on the plus side, Michael Ausiello is reporting that Becki Newton, also known as one half of television’s most dynamic of dynamic duos has landed the starring role in NBC’s hour-long romantic comedy pilot LOVE BITES.
According to the scooptacular one himself, “the potential series, exec produced by SEX AND THE CITY’s Cindy Chupack, will follow three loosely connected stories of love, dating, and marriage each week. Newton will play Annie, an infectiously bubbly hopeless romantic who also happens to be a virgin.”
Congratulations Becki! R.I.P. BETTY.
Inspired by Movieline and in anticipation of the soon-to-be-released Apple iPad that will more than likely signal the beginning of the end for traditional print media, this TV Addict thought it might be fun to start highlighting a look back on the week in television that was in nostalgic magazine form (And yes, we realize we may have a just little too much free time on our hands!)
This week on theTVaddict.com we told the CW to put up or shut up, interviewed GLEE stars Chris Colfer and Kevin McHale, shared our five biggest questions from this week’s OMG-Worthy episode of LOST, told CHUCK fans (specifically, Chuck and Sarah ‘shippers’) to relax, reviewed HBO’s newest offering HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA and irresponsibly speculated on the fate of some of your favorite FOX, ABC, NBC and CW shows.
