AMERICAN IDOL Finale: Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr aka ‘The Pips’
Give Me My Remote — So much better than last year’s creepy Celine Dion/Elvis duet, this year we got Gladys Knight and the original Pips - Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr. Funny stuff. Amazing what these crazy computer geeks can do these days.

Woo Woo
Litely Salted — Woo Woo (Exclamation) The sound a train makes as it travels toward Georgia, around midnight.  Hmph. Who knew? For those who don't watch "American Idol," here's a clip actually worth watching from the show -- Robert Downey, Jr. as a Pip! I'm there (even if it also means subjecting yourself to the hilariously unfunny stylings of Ben Stiller). Woo Woo. And for Jack Black, it's the coolest thing he's done since "Sexual Healing," in High Fidelity. I mean, really: What's cooler than being a Pip? Nothing. That's what.

Same Knight, Different Pips — SOULBOUNCE.COM
How ironic was it that one day after we featured "Midnight Train to Georgia" on our countdown, the folks over at American Idol air a "remix" of the exact video we used, featuring Gladys Knight 's new "Pips." Lawd. The clip features the cast of the most side eye-inducing movie this side of the 1981 release of That's My Mama: The Movie , and a few things are abundantly clear: Jack Black and Ben ...
