Jason Yeager Photo Jason Yeager has a long way to go until he reaches the status of Michael Johns and David Archuleta on American Idol.

As far as the men go, those two semifinalists have received the bulk of the air time and publicity thus far on season seven. But a new interview in The Fort Worth Star-Telegram may help shed some light on Yeager. Here are excerpts from it:

What do you carry back from your audition in Dallas?
I had a really good audition. Randy was just impressed that I picked a really hard song to do. I did a Take 6 song; they’re a Christian a capella group and it’s a song called Mary. I wanted to do something that was kinda random that they had never heard before so that they wouldn’t try to compare me [to the original] and so they wouldn’t be saying, from the get-go, “Oh, another guy doing Justin Timberlake” or regular Top 40 stuff.

So what’s more terrifying, performing in front of 1,000 people or in front of three American Idol judges?
The crazy thing is that being in front of a bunch of strangers that I don’t know is totally comfortable for me, but when you’ve got three obviously very interesting faces that you see on television, you don’t know exactly what you’re getting into there. They’re looking at you, they’re judging you, they’re trying to pick [at] every little thing about you. That was very intimidating.

What does your stomach feel like when you walk into the judges’ room — is it like visiting the principal’s office?

It’s pure nausea. Definitely the nerves part of it is a lot tougher than I’m used to having to deal with. A show of this magnitude, and being a part of it, and getting more into it, every audition just becomes more and more intense.

I just really have to put myself mentally somewhere else and just try to picture me being on a stage in Branson, or I used to work at Six Flags and be in front of hundreds of people every day. … I’ll just try to think about that instead of these 35 million people at home watching.

Deelishis is speaking out a lot these days.

The supposed winner of Flavor of Love 2, this vixen scarcely even heard from Flavor Flav after that reality show finished filming. How come? According to Flav, Deelishis’ new clothing business was the reason why she left the rapper.

But Deelishis takes exception to this accusation.

“No I did not leave Flav to sell blue jeans, I didn’t leave Flav at all,” she recently wrote on her MySpace blog. “Honestly, William Drayden and I were never really a couple, for the day I won, inevitably was the day I loss. Fearing that the show was all a stage to entertain, I often ask Flav, ‘Is this real or are you just having fun?’

He was always calm and with a sincere and straight face replied, ‘Yes this is real, and I do wanna have you in my life’. Now many of you may say I was being naive to believe in a reality love affair, but at the time it felt right.”

So, what happened?

“Love is not what Flav wanted, at least not when it came time to renew his reality show contract. He had a choice, sign up for a new season or stick it out with Dee. But he didn’t think twice,” the former contestant said. “After I won the show and the reunion was taped, Flav distanced himself from me. He changed his number and was advised to cut all ties, or he would ruin the possibilities of a third season.”

As we now know, of course, Flavor of Love 3 is, indeed, up and running.

As for Deelishis? She says she started her jean business because she felt she had more to offer the world than the sexy physique that “grace[d]…wonderful sexy men magazines.”

What does Bret Michaels look for in a woman? A pair of contestants on Rock of Love know the answer, as detailed by TV Guide in a new feature on the show:

The two women crowd around a mirror, slicing ordinary tops into shredded piece of garments/rocker seduction.

“Does that look too slutty?” a blonde asks, attacking her white tank. A brunette hacks three inches off her own black fishnet shirt: “Yeah, but that’s a good thing!” The fishnet scrap is wrapped around a lamp, and cleavage bounces as everyone points and laughs in delight: “Look, now the lamp looks slutty, too!”

Bret Michaels, Women

As women are voted off every week on the show, the remaining hopefuls learn from their competitors’ mistakes. They’ve been doing whatever it takes — lap dances and stripper-pole work included — to win the attention of the former Poison lead singer.

Once they get it, do any of them sample what Michaels refers to as “the real rock of love”? When asked, Michaels gets that bad-boy look in his eyes and says: “I don’t want to kiss and tell, but so far, there might’a been a couple, two or three.”
