Scary, scary news.

Chris Columbus is directing the movie version of RENT, and Justin Timberlake wants to be in it. I'm frightened.

There is no universe in which Justin Timberlake has the vocal skills to play Roger. It would make me very, very sad if that were to happen. If I had my fondest wish come true, they'd cast Ewan McGregor. But that probably won't happen.

As for Clay, I can't say. I've never really heard him. My distaste for American Idol has prevented me from giving anyone on it a fair listen.

I understand. I have a feeling Clay would too. After all, Clay's distaste for the franchise (which seems to hate him right back, even though he's their only actual star) compelled him to fire the whole lot of them the very *day* his contract with them expired this month. All that aside, he's the finest pop tenor out there right now. I'd be happy to send over the MP3 of "Solitaire." It's nothing short of extraordinary.
