“Anonymous” Pens Thinly Veiled American Idol Backstage Scorcher

[Tusk]

From MJS about a NY Post Article on a book to be released

“Elimination Night” is a new novel written by “Anonymous” that, although the names have been changed (barely) to protect the innocent, is obviously based on American Idol Season 10.

The New York Post serves up the juciest details from the book. Remember, this is a work of fiction. The amount of fact vs fiction is tough to determine here, but the book sure sounds entertaining

Some of the characters described in the book

RANDY JACKSON

“Idol” judge

In the book: JD Coolz, overweight session player and long-running judge on “Project Icon,” who repeats the phrase “booya-ka-ka!” “You’re the American everyman,” a producer tells Coolz. “Fat and ordinary.”

J.LO

Former “Idol” judge, singer and actress

In the book: Bibi Vasquez, “Icon” judge, grew up in Queens, singer and actress though better known for her outrageous outfits and killer assets.

“Every woman in America wanted to be her. Every guy in America wanted to sleep with her . . . The great irony being that Bibi achieved all this without even being able to sing.”



STEVEN TYLER

Former “Idol” judge, lead singer of Aerosmith

In the book: Joey Lovecraft, “Icon” judge, lead singer of Honeyload, has very public weakness for booze, drugs and women. “Joey had out-crazied himself this time: He was barefoot, with a feathered scarf around his neck and what appeared to be a shark’s tooth lodged in his hair.”

RYAN SEACREST

“Idol” host

In the book: Wayne Shoreline, “Icon” host. “The press thinks he’s gay . . . But I doubt it. I don’t think he’s anything. If you pulled down the guy’s pants, the only thing swinging between his legs would be a USB stick.”

A 'Haley' character isn't higlighted in the article, but there is a Scotty character and a character that appears to be a combination of Pia and Karen Rodriquez.

Jimmy Nugget is 18-year-old country yodeler who bears a striking resemblance to “Idol” winner Scotty McCreery, a 17-year-old country boy from North Carolina. But in the book, he has a not-so-hushed-up secret: He sleeps with men.

Real-life contestants Karen Rodriguez — a 21-year-old Manhattanite — and Pia Toscano — a 22-year-old from Howard Beach — seem melded in the book’s Mia Pelosi, who’s blessed with an angelic voice and professional training but cusses like a truck driver. In the book, Mia has done time in juvenile hall for drunk-and-disorderly conduct

Lots of 'juicy' gossip fodder 'based' on Idol's Season 10. Fiction but some of the stuff is pretty funny although there is probably lots of 'fan fiction' that is better.
