The most boring finalists ever. That seemed to be the conventional wisdom going into the evening. That, despite a strong start, this season of ‘Idol’ was destined to fall into oblivion with two dull finalists that wouldn’t be able to deliver the finale this Renaissance season deserved.

Yes, that might be true. It may have been more interesting to see James square off against Pia or Jacob take on Haley, but that doesn’t necessarily mean this is the most boring collection of contestants ever, does it?

Here’s a ranking of finale pairings from least boring to most boring:

Singer Justin Guarini is the latest star to become a dad after welcoming a son on Tuesday.

The former "American Idol" runner-up is a new father after his wife Reina Capodici gave birth to little William Neko Bell Guarini.

The couple's new arrival was due in March but his timing was perfect for Guarini, who wrapped his role in Broadway's "American Idiot" musical on Sunday.

He tells People.com, "Quite a polite fellow for waiting until late Monday, early Tuesday to make his entrance. With a full head of curly brown hair, wide open and alert eyes he came charging into the world. Reina is doi...

Gold and beige were hot colors at last night's Grammy Awards. Beyonce looked fantastic in a form-fitting Stephanie Rolland gown, while Katy Perry wore the same shade in a dress by Zac Posen, complete with gold flowers. Sexy "Tik Tok" pop star Ke$ha wore a flirty gold fringed dress. Carrie Underwood took the stage in a strapless gold gown but wore a white dress with an asymmetrical neckline on the red carpet.

Fergie stood out in her electric blue and gold dress, which had a hint of Egyptian flare. Taylor Swift was one of our top picks of the night in a blue sparkly floor-length Kaufman F...

Two hours, wall-to-wall performances, and the "American Idol" result all in one place? Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a mega diary.

8:00 - Wow, the graphics on the opening with the contestants' name look like they were the group final for a high school A/V class. It never ceases to be amazing how bad the graphics can look on something so prominent.

8:01 - Whose idea was it to dress them both in head-to-toe white? What is this? A Mormon baptism?

8:02 - Joely Fisher with baby: "Hey America, did you know "'Til Death" just got renewed again? Muahahahahaha."

8:0...

On a seemingly normal sunny Sunday morning, a few lucky "My Life, Made Possible By Pop Culture" readers gathered at a local Los Angeles theater for something they had only previously seen advertised as a "poor man's Chelsea Lately roundtable." The pop culture fans weighed in on everything from the leak of Eminem's new album to the new VH1 shows. They laughed; they ate cupcakes; and they found they agreed…at least on most topics.

Late last week, NBC announced their new fall line-up, which was ripe with an almost surprisingly equal amount of comedy, reality, and drama and included quite ...

Millions of preteen girls across the country are ecstatic right now, and we have one person to thank for that: Miley Cyrus. The teen sensation just released Hannah Montana: The Movie last Friday, and theaters were jam-packed throughout opening weekend. But will the singer turned actress be a hit with anyone other than teenyboppers? If she follows suit with the majority of other musicians turned starlets, the chances are less than slim. Here's a recap of the worst movies starring singers.

Kelly Clarkson was "forced" into starring in the flop movie From Justin to Kelly: With Love when she signed her first record contract after winning American Idol. The Miss Independant singer, 23, and American Idol runner-up Justin Guarini, co-starred in the film musical, which entered the US box office charts at a lowly number 11 in 2003.

Three years on, Clarkson is still embarrassed with the movie. She says, "Two words: Contractually obligated. I knew when I read the script it was going to be real, real bad, but when I won, I signed that piece of paper, and I could not get out of it.

Pop star Kelly Clarkson is amazed so many fans believe she is married to her fellow American Idol contestant Justin Guarini.

Clarkson beat Guarini, 27, to win the first ever American Idol in 2002 and they co-starred in the 2003 flop movie From Justin to Kelly: With Love.

Clarkson admits she is often reading completely fabricated reports about her.

She says, "I haven't ever read anything nasty, but I've been married, I've been on steroids supposedly.
