THE CONSTANTINE CONSPIRACY: A big week for the American Idol, idn't it? Huge outcry last week upon the departure of Constantine "call me" Maroulis. I wrote a little bit about it in Friday's editions of the Boston Herald, along with the news of Harold Bice, Jr., and his criminal past. Then you have a South Carolina college student starting an online petition, another guy rallying people to "vote for the worst," and well, a little tease from ABC about behind-the-scenes antics. I'll have more on this in Tuesday's paper. But here is some resource material to hold you over for a few hours until my story goes live.

My story on Constantine and the lack of individual vote results: How could they let this Idol go?
My story on Bo: Bo No!
The American Idol recount petition.
Vote for the worst.
