Donny Osmond-

Our good friend Donny Osmond joined us once again this morning. He is such a great guy, so fun to talk to and never takes that"I'm a big celebrity" tone. Donny was talking about walking in conjunction with the American Heart Association and wants people to start to improve their health. For more info, you can go to http://www.heart.org/

American Idol-

Last night was Mariah Carey night and I though everyone did ok. My favorite was David Cook and Jason Castro. I though Syesha did very well too. David Archuleta was good, but safe. Brooke looked like a deer in headlights and Kristy Lee kept making faces like something stunk, it could have been her singing. My prediction, the bottom 3 will be Carly, Brooke, and Kristy Lee and Carly will be voted off tonight. We'll see, the results show is tonight at 9:00 on Fox and Mariah Carey will be performing.

$25 Pyramid- Scott played this morning and they got 3 out of 5. The jackpot goes to $40 for tomorrow's game.
