-Maxim magazine digs up old cheesecake shots of Idol contestant Becky O’Donohue and her twin sister Jessie (pictured), taken two years ago for the mag’s online fantasy baseball contest.
-In other Idol sporting news, Idol trounced the Olympics for the third time in a row on Tuesday, with Idol drawing 29.9 million viewers to NBC’s average of 22.7 million during their two-hour face-off. At least NBC was smart enough to wait until 10 to show Sasha Cohen and the other skaters, drawing 28.4 million in the post-Idol hour.
-Speaking of lopsided competitions, VoteForTheWorst.com is back in business, urging voters to keep this year’s Scott Savols in contention for as long as possible. Their dubious honorees this week: Brenna Gethers and Bobby Bennett. Ouch!
-Meanwhile, the New York Post is patting itself on the back for having gotten the Idol Powers That Be to close an alleged loophole that may have seen some fans’ text-message votes go uncounted because they didn’t know they could only text-vote via Cingular Wireless phones. Ryan Seacrest apparently mentions the Cingular singularity often during the show, but it may not have been apparent on the Idol website FAQ page until the Post’s muckrakers took action and got the page amended. Congrats, Post-ies, and let’s hope you’ll be covering the irregularities in real-life voting-machine elections with similar investigative scrutiny.

Brenna Gethers’ grating blather goes beyond godawful. Sorry, don’t know what got into me…basically, I hate her personality!
Who cares about the personality, or the singing for that matter…….va va va voom!!!
Bobby has a personality that will keep him around for a while. Brenna doesn’t.
Sway’s version of “Reasons” sounded what Philip Bailey sounds like when he got kicked in his nuts with a pair of golf cleats.
Did BOTH these twins try out for AI and only one (Becky) made it…anybody know?
If yes, yowza…talk about sibling rivalry exploding in that household!!
Nicky – Only Becky tried out. The other twin had some sort of surgery on her throat and couldn’t sing.
She’s a pretty girl that Becky. But I found even on the sidelines last night, her over-dancing and cheering had a “look at me, it’s all about me” quality to it, . Same for Paris. I wanted to scream “the voting is over gals!”. These 2 seemed determined to hog the spotlight, even on boy-night.
I couldn’t stand that Brenna Chick from the first time she opened her mouth, just wanted to slapp her, her vocals suck and I was praying she and Heather were to be the ones voted off tonight…thank god!!!
