Clay Rights: A gay rights group has accused "American Idol" of being homophobic. I was thinking the same thing, just like all of those Judy Garland movies. (AP)

Long Island Ice-Breaker: Mary Jo and Joey Buttafuoco and slated to appear with Amy Fisher in a televised reunion. (This has to be the greatest idea ever.)
