American Idol- In case you missed last night's results show, Ramiele Malubay was voted off Idol. The bottom three were Ramiele, Brooke, and Kristy Lee. Personally, I think it was time for Ramiele to go. She had a great voice, but she didn't stand out like others such as the 2 David's and Jason.

ORLANDO MAGIC-

Congratulations to the Southeast Division CHAMPIONS, your Orlando Magic! The Magic have not only won their division, but they are also guaranteed a spot in the playoffs! It looks like they will be the 3 seed and will take on Philly or Washington. Their next game is Saturday in Cleveland taking on LeBron and the Cavs. Go Magic!

$25 Pyramid- I played today and we got all 5! Congrats to Frank of Minneola, he won $90.
