What You Didn't See Last Night!

I have to confess, every Wednesday and Thursday morning I wake up, hop out of bed in my PJs (messy hair, half-closed eyes and all) and head straight to my computer, where People Magazine's "What You Didn't See" awaits me with juicy tidbits of Idol gossip and backstage happenings from last night.

...


Quite sad, I know. But somehow, it almost makes me feel like I was... there.

Anyway, here are my favorite highlights of what we didn't see last night:

• British pop sensation Natasha Bedingfield caught some attention with her long blond hair and midriff showing outfit as she watched the show sitting between the now regular spectator Danny Noriega and David Hernandez, who got a bear hug when Noriega spotted him. (Say what you may, I miss Danny on the show!)
  
• When Kimberly Locke’s performance was running on the monitor, Syesha decided to head over across the stage and spend some time chatting up friend Carly Smithson (who just found out she was safe) over on the couch — and then Chikezie followed suit, also heading over to hug and chat with pal Michael Johns. These two spent so much time over with the safe Idols, that producer Nigel Lythgoe had to go up on stage and lead them back to their seats. (All together now: AWWW!)
• Carly Smithson and Brooke White, the first to learn they would not be leaving the show (for now), hugged each other tight as the Ford video “I Want You to Want Me” played on the big screen. (I'm a fan of these two!)
