“American Idol” viewers had a clear choice when it came down to the final decision: the low-key but sincere Kris Allen or the flamboyant and powerful Adam Lambert.

Allen, Lambert, Danny Gokey and the other seven finalists spoke of their friendship and camaraderie on “Larry King Live.” Here is an edited transcript of the interview. – From CNN

Wrestler Chris Jericho spends time threatening Mickey Rourke. Pretty weird. Rourke actually takes the high road on this bizarro exchange, hosted by the great one, Larry King.

It all started on Sunday with Rourke, in a red carpet interview with “Extra” before the Screen Actors Guild Awards, challenging Jericho to a wrestling match. It appeared to be all in good fun.

Rourke took the high road, said he had all the respect in the world for Jericho and backed away from any match. – From LA Times
