*Disclaimer - this is only my opinion and is based solely on what works for me. I have great respect for you, veganism, but we need to talk.

American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox is in the hospital for an unknown reason. Bowersox was not be able to perform on Tuesday night. Instead of the American Idol 10 male semifinalists performed.

Hoya's coack, John Thompson III, told the Star-Ledger that he has a constant eye on Freeman in the game. “I’m watching him, trying to read his body language.
