Show Tracker: What you're watching

I arrived at the American Idol Top 24 party around 7, and made a beeline for the restroom. The top 24 "Idol" contestants had already pranced down the red carpet, and were awaiting their grand unveiling inside. The gathering was sponsored vigorously by Garnier Fructis, and held at The Day After, a Hollywood club that, according to people far cooler than myself, is actually a pretty hip spot right now. And judging by the $20 parking fee, they must be right. But I digress. I pressed past some shampoo-themed decorations and into the ladies room, where I waited behind a pint-sized brunette who was fixing herself in the mirror; frantically pinching, tucking, lifting, fluffing.

Eventually, she turned and asked me for help, motioning toward the clear plastic bra straps that she was struggling to remove. As I helped her unhook, I caught her reflection in the mirror and realized I was fighting with the bra straps of none other than Amy Jean Davis. Top 24 Amy Jean Davis -- she of the underwear photos that have already circulated the Internet.

I asked how things had been going so far. "Crazy," she answered, a response that I would hear more times than I could count as the night went on. Fun crazy or bad crazy, I inquired, as I handed her the clear straps. Amy hesitated. "New crazy," she answered.
