Chin up, fans of American Idol’s littlest cowboy, Garet Layne Johnson. True, when we last saw the wide-eyed 18-year-old from Veteran, Wyo. (population: 4), he was sobbing into the sculpted arms of fellow rejected wannabe Matthew Buckstein, but not to worry: Apparently, the kid’s got access to the Internet! And with the launch of Garet Johnson Online, you can chart the humble crooner’s trajectory from highly likable Idol contestant to: a) unlikely future chart-topper; b) dinner-theater headliner; c) Surreal Life participant; or d) jaded ex-con. Take your pick.
Anyhow, there are other folks who could use your sympathy. Like NBC executives, who have to deal with the fact that Idol pulled in about 10 million more viewers than their Olympic coverage last night. Of course, the news is going to get even worse for the Peacock when Joey takes over the Tuesday 8 p.m. time slot come March 7. Somehow, I don’t even think a Jennifer Aniston cameo would help Matt LeBlanc’s struggling sitcom against the Paula-Simon-Randy juggernaut. Then again, perhaps a walk-on by a certain pint-sized cowpoke would rustle up some ratings glory for the Friends spinoff.
What do you think, PopWatchers?

American Idol’s Littlest Cowboy Hits The Web
Choosing the gayest moment in American Idol history is like trying to choose your favorite Ken doll: There’s just too, too many and they’re all so, so gay. A decent…
Garet has the aww-shucks personality factor. He’ll make a great commerical or voice over actor. However, vocally he sounded as if he broke the back of that mountain. Sorry.
I don’t think that Garet was terrible at all, just very green. At this point it’s hard to say if he’ll ever be great, or even very good, but I’m pulling for him. (Sorry, I have no snarkiness on this one. Watching that kid see the ocean for the first time and then wade on in made my grinchy little heart grow three sizes, and I haven’t gotten it back down to normal yet.)
Yes you can fix your credit..

Garet, you did GREAT!! You showed a lot of guts getting up on that stage and doing what you know you have within you. Many people never, ever make that first step!! I HOPE THAT THIS IS THE START OF SOMETHING GREAT FOR YOU!! I will be watching you progress into someone more amazing than you already are.
Your cousin, Darla~
