EW plays a game of 'Where's Phil?'

Even though Haley was the one voted off Idol last week, our Phil was the one who nearly got booted off the cover of Entertainment Weekly this week. For subscribers, the address label all but obscured Phil's picture (that's supposed to be him in the lower right corner). We can see more of Phil on the cover of the newsstand issue, where the UPC code only covers the bottom half of Phil's picture.

The silver lining? The Idol story inside EW leads off with 10-year-old Maya Rosenberg, a superfan of Phil's. She loves his baby, part of the family angle Idol has played up when it comes to Phil (and he insists in the story that he's not trolling for votes when he talks about his wife and kids). Don't read too much further, though, if you're a Philnatic. Simon jabs at Phil and the other contestants by saying, "We're doing as well as we are doing with not a great cast."
