Dear American Idol Producers, I just want to send along a sincere thank you for issuing your public apology to Mark Mudd. While we already know that CliqueClack is one of the most important and influential sources on the web for television-related content, you can’t know how thrilled we are that CliqueClack had such an […]
I wrote recently about my love/hate relationship with American Idol.
