NEWS OF THE WEIRD THIS WEEK

American Idol officially entered into the Bizarro World Wednesday night. Up was down, down was up and Sanjaya Malakar is still on the show. But, first, Jacksonville sailor Phil Stacey survived another week, as the contestants were narrowed down to 10. Stacey was in the first group called to stand. The fact that he was with Blake Lewis and Melinda Doolittle should have been clue enough that he was staying. But he was still clearly excited when it was announced. Let's face it, he was surprised. He was still yelling after the next group was cleared to stay.

-- Bizarro: When Malakar, Haley Scarnato and Gina Glocksen stood, everyone knew they'd be the bottom three. But nope, they were safe, too. Even the unflappable Chris Sligh had a "What the ...?" look on his face.

-- Goodbye: Stephanie Edwards and Chris Richardson were the final two, the bottom two. And they had to wait through commercials and Lulu singing To Sir With Love (why didn't she do one of her many other hits?) before the announcement came: Edwards was going home.

-- The Road: The final 10 get to go on the American Idol tour. Think about it: Sanjaya Malakar in concert.
