Well, it turns out that after working sooooo hard to get his 10 minutes of fame, poor Leroy Wells of New Orleans audition fame ended up watching his big moment on a jail house t.v.
I do not make this stuff up people.
Here is EOnline's amusing take...
That's all. Leroy... well, Leroy needs to get a life - and a apparently now, a good lawyer.
I'm out.

Vegas Baby!
I think I've finally figured out how this show goes.
As the weeks go on, the producers spend less and less time mocking the mentally ill and more and more time showing us those who can sing.
At least I hope so.
Because Vegas was almost painless.
Almost.
Yes, there were the usual idiots who marched in and howled bad Elvis tunes with the misguided notion that it is better to be bad on TV than never to be on TV at all. Many many idiots. But there were also more talented singers on this show than the last three episodes.
My fave? The cute sixteen year old girl (who looked 25 -- what up with the teenagers trying to look older? I'd kill to look sixteen again!). She was wonderful. Her voice deep and brassy and different.
The rest. Well good. But I'm getting impatient.
I want to make it to Hollywood. As a viewer, I mean -- y'all know I can't carry a tune in a bucket. But I long for Hollywood. I want to hit the point where the competition gets jaw-droppingly ugly. I want the vocal beatdown to begin.
Here's hoping next week is a little more exciting.

Proof that crack don't smoke itself...
Leroy Wells.
Leroy Wells, ya'll.
sigh...... come on ya'll. I can't take it.
Leroy Wells told Simon he needed to get crunk and needed to put Jesus 1st. It should be said that Leroy had to be told which one of them was Simon. It should also be said that Leroy was just a crack smoking fool. A crack smoking fool who brought his removable gold crunk teeth (cause that will get him to Hollywood, right?). Yep, removable gold tooth caps. Uhhmmm.....
And just when we thought it was all too whack.... Leroy shows us he is just a dumb A&% wasting our time trying to get a shout out on t.v. ..... just in case we didn't get that already.
Crunk teeth in: Leroy says "These are for t.v."
Crunk teeth out: "These are for your mommy and daddy."
Alrighty then. Let's move on to some more crack smokers...
Sundeep the accountant: Song choice - The Eye of the Tiger from Rocky. Always a sign. And indeed it was. He left the room and told the camera "The voice was in 1 tone. I needed to mix it up with the tones. No child, you needed to be able to SING! Don't quit your day job - or dressing as a pimp for Halloween.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show contestant: Gene Simmons actually barked in the middle of his song. Simon said he should be wearing ladies underwear and wearing red lipstick. Like I said... Rocky Horror Picture Show.
This was just not right.
In fact... even I, the ultimate Idol worshipper, am a little irritated. Just a little. I'm all for bringing the funny Idol. But come on now. I'm ready to see at least 10 people who can sing. We need to see more SINGERS this year. Right now we're averaging 2 per show that are even memorable - for the right reasons. Speaking of two...
The twin thing... let it die people. There is only ONE winner... this is not Twin Idols. Why keep beating this dead horse?
Alright. So far we've seen alot of people off their medication, guest judging that has made me say a big so what and Paula and Simon bickering way more than is tolerable. Get on with it now. I want to hear me some SINGING!
