Could someone explain why producers are having actor Jamie Foxx as guest mentor on tonight's American Idol (according to Idol fan sites) to help the Top 5 sing Rat Pack-era standards? What does this big mouth know about singing standards (and don't throw his Oscar for Ray at me cuz I'm not impressed.) The show has run late repeatedly this season and the 5 are to sing 2 songs apiece. That's 10 in an hour, plus 4 windy judges, countless commercial interruptions and a blowhard opportunist like Foxx clogging the proceedings. What a drag.

Jamie Foxx is a cool guy. Not only did he mentor the idols, he also spent a large part of the day with them and took them out to lunch, according to Paula Abdul. That was extremely classy of him.
