Blogger Trio Unveils 'American Idol' Blog

NEW YORK, NY (May 1, 2006) -- Three bloggers today launched a joint venture to feed their shared 'American Idol' obsession. This new blog -- the American Midol Blog -- will be updated at a frenzied pace, and will feature news, gossip and what Jess of Blind Cavefish calls "totally bitchy commentary."

The name American Midol was first thought up by Mejack of Mejack and You're Not.

"I was searching for a term that would really encompass how the show made me feel," Mejack said. "I realized it made me feel like PMS."

Jess and Curly McDimple of Ham and Cheese on Wry immediately proclaimed it as "genius!" and then decided to name the 'American Idol'-themed blog accordingly.

"We want to be a one-stop resource for all things 'American Idol'," Jess explained. "We spend so much time, especially on Wednesday and Thursday morning, firing show-related links at each other over IM. We want to give the 'Idol'-obsessed quick and easy access to a wealth of information."

The bloggers have several plans for the future of the blog. Site enhancements, Photoshop art and images that will probably get them sued are on that list.

"I'm making a seriously bitchin' logo," says Curly McDimple.
