Flash video
At the end of the video and after the break is the answer to this week’s quiz: A Cincinnati councilman recently apologized to Rip Torn for falsely using his barely obscured mug shot in a campaign ad railing against “child predators.” In what Westchester municipality was Torn arrested for driving while under the influence?
A. Cortlandt
B. North Salem
C. Yorktown
The answer is B. North Salem. I’m thinking of changing my hairstyle to match Rip’s in that mug shot. It’s the new Rachel, after all.

Taylor Hicks did not tour with Earth, Wind and Fire. Where do you get your info? He opened for them in one concert. After Grease, he has no future. His “new” record is just a regurgitation of his old records. He is a total loser.
Such anger!
I do remember Hicks opening for EW&F at Jones Beach, but perhaps that was that.
Wait so his “new” record is just his old stuff? What’s up with that?
Taylor Hicks is a joke. He never should have won American Idol. His loony fans sat and voted for him a thousand times each because they had nothing else to do in the trailer parks. Kat is a thousand times better than Taylor Loser Hicks.
And so the children come out to play yet again (sigh). Taylor is releasing an “Early Works” album of pre-Idol material August 12, but is currently writing and recording his next album which will be released in the fall, when he will be heading back out on tour. He’s doing just fine, thanks and will continue to do so. Get a life people, really.
Ah, no, there has been no talk of a fall tour for Taylor Hicks. That is just something you people on the Boogie board made up. At least some of you admit that you’re disappointed he’s releasing the same old songs again. It’s hilarious that you think Amazon is going to pick up his “early works” CD. Dream on.
Leave Taylor alone, it’s not his fault he can’t come up with anything original. He has to recycle his crappy works to pay for the sparkles on his suit.
Please come get this bozo and take him far, far away from New York! He is sucking all the “cool” right out of here. He should be eating barbeque with his best buddy Billy, down at the rib shack by the tracks, across from the discount mall in Birmingham.
My littel man Duhtry is way beeter than that Elyot guy and MacFee too. I luv Cris Duhtry, he rocks and he rolls. Sum day he mite have a new 8 trak tape out.
Awesome! Taylor is getting great press! Love it!
Yea—Taylor Hicks is in the news again. He just keeps on rollin’ along! He sure seems to keep in people’s minds. As they say—as long as your name stays in the news it’s all good!! Thanks for helping out you guys.
Did you hear why Taylor called in sick for today’s performance? He was still puking up booze as late as 9am so he had no choice but to cancel.
Taylor did open for EW&F in Jones Beach, Taylor will be RE-RELEASING His 1997 indie cd called In Your Time and his 2005 indie Cd Under Th Radar two amazing blues and soul CDs will be coming out in AUGUST. His 2nd CD since winning Idol will be out this Fall. And a tour will follow. He is a breath of fresh air on Broadway look at the the Broadway reviews he is doing great
I can’t figure for the life of me why Non-Fans of Taylor Hicks seem to know so much about him down to his friends names and the names of his fan sites, etc. There are a lot of stars I am NOT a fan of but I don’t bother to look up any info on them or write negative comments about them. Maybe some people should get a life.
If you hate Taylor so much BroadwayBaby, why are you wasting time here just to make nasty comments? It kinda makes you look really evil. Just saying….
You people are like a broken record, constantly asking why somebody is posting how and where they are posting. I think it is perfectly logical and rational for someone who dislikes Taylor Hicks to take the time to say so on a message board. Or two, or three, for that matter. Why can’t you people understand that not everybody likes that old geezer? Geesh.
Taylor opened a couple shows for Earth, Wind and Fire. There are 2 cds, get YOUR facts straight. 1 of early works, etc. and a new one in the fall.
You know, there are a lot of entertainers that I don’t like, but I don’t spend my time running around from article to article telling people that. I don’t like them but why would I want to hurt them. They have done nothing bad to me. That could be because I am not insane. What a colossal waste of time.
I check out the people I like and then I live my life. I have one. Y’all sound like 2 years olds.
No it’s not Inez – it’s pathetic and the only thing it does is make them look crazy. Everyone knows it.
I don’t see where any poster claimed he didn’t open for EW&F. Somebody said he TOURED with them and they got corrected. Can’t you READ?
The craziest thing here is that the Hicks fans keep wagging their fingers at people for posting, and yet they continue to reply. I think we’re dealing with some control freaks here.
I agree Inez. Control Freaks.
Taylor said his new album will be out in the Fall and you can bet he’ll tour to promote it and because he likes to tour and play small venues where he can connect with his fans. Those of you who think Taylor has no talent haven’t been paying attention! Have you ever been to a concert, seen him play at a bar, or met him? He is so “into” his music. He plays a concert and then goes to a bar and plays for free – just because he enjoys it. He’s bringing real music back to f^$%*@g pop music! And I LOVE IT! If you don’t like it, then say that but please stop the name calling and stop being so mean spirited!
He’s gaining new fans on Broaday – because he does a great job. Have any of you seen Grease? Probably not so I’ll leave a recap here when I see it next month!!!!
I’d like to know what singers/groups you like. It would give me some perspective on why you dislike Taylor’s music. Just curious….....
Niram, you got that right, those haters just need to shut their mouths up. I bet that not one of them has been to any of Taylor’s mallcerts/weddingcerts/cruiseshipcerts/trailerparkcerts, or they wouldn’t be talking about him that way. Hopfully they’ll go to one of his upcoming golfcerts or they’ll catch him this fall when he starts making his way around the country, to promote and sell his CD. I sure do hope he hurries up and tells us what kind of car he’s gonna be driving, cause I want to make sure I’m in the parking lot when he opens up his trunk and starts selling it. Otherwise I might not even get me a copy of it. Those blank CD’s are getting kinda of expensive, so who knows how many Taylor was able to burn, and once he starts doing his retirementhomecerts, they’ll run out really quick.
I’m ashamed I ever like daughtry. His fans have turned into the biggest creeps that ever walkled the face of the earth. My cousin has given one of his CD’s to everyone possible and still has 24 of them in her closet. She should be using that money to feed her kids. You guys need to grow up and get a life!!! Taylor has a long career ahead of him.
Sorry, Jane, the imitation is pretty pathetic. Try again.
I’m selling puffy heart t-shirts, just so I can afford to buy me a few copies of that CD, when Taylor opens up his trunk and starts selling it. I sure do hope he stops at my trailerpark, cuz my puffy heart might drop on off in this heat, if I have to walk to where he is.
