Lee DeWyze got new tattoo and everybody went to see Shrek

American Idol contestants Lee DeWyze, Michael Lynche and Siobhan Magnus went and got new tattoos this weekend. And then they went to watch the new Shrek Forever After movie, which is probably in 3D, because everything is in 3D now.

See Lee’s new tattoo, which our good friend Frances says looks like “the beginnings of something John Mayer had inked.” And speaking of Lee (and Frances!) one of her buddies saw him the other night. At the Hole concert…which kind of intrigues me. Frances really should have been there, because Lee DeWyze should just face his destiny of them being soul mates in passionate hatred with one another.

As per usual, Lee DeWyze looks like he would rather be somewhere else.

And since the Idols saw the new Shrek movie, expect this week to include some obnoxious promotional tie-ins. Did you also know Ryan Seacrest and his future self Larry King voice characters? I am proud to say I have never seen a Shrek movie. The only character appearing to be mildly likable is Puss In Boots (Antonio Banderas), mainly because Oskar was clearly the inspiration for his character. Come on. Michael Myers is too over-the-top these days, Cameron Diaz’s accent is way too valley girl and Eddie Murphy hasn’t been funny since he banged trannies.

I thought about seeing this one, but only because I could…LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF JON HAMM! Yup. That’s right. Jon Hamm plays some ogre named Brogan in this Shrek Ever After shit. Not only is Jon Hamm in this one, so is Craig Robinson, Jane Lynch, Kathy Griffin and Kristen Schaal. If the five of them and Puss in Boots have a bunch of scenes together, I might actually watch the final(?) movie in this please-let-it-die series. But I’ve been boycotting this crap for years. Oskar is obviously being denied profits from this massive box-office machine.

Spread the word. Do it.

    Posting this here since it’s the most recent post on the site:

    FYI: Tom’s has some new styles in stock, and has some stock on other styles (sizes that were sold out last week) — so go shopping and support TI and Tom’s!

    Also, TI – the wrap boots I wanna try won’t ship to Canada (???) – anyone ordering want to help a Canuck out? I can Paypal the cost plus shipping to me. (I’m looking at you TI. LOL!)

        Your searchfu is strong.

        But some people only look at the posts on the front page, ad don’t revisit older ones – so I opted for the quick and dirty, but visible, comment. ;)

        • Mithra

          Hit a bunch of nerves, eh? If you get those boots, take a good long look at yourself wearing them in the mirror. I hope they make you less ugly.

          • Ittybittybear

            So freaking hilarious. Can’t drum up anything on this guy so we talk about shoes. BTW, I just got mine yesterday. A pair of red and white stripe cordones and the regular in solid yellow. Word of warning. The yellow is reeeeaaaallly yellow. As in canary. I love them but there’s nothing subtle about the color. Very comfortable.

  • Katie112

    They expect this guy to sell records?

    • mozart4898

      Lee? Or Puss in Boots?

      I’ll bet the cat would sell more.

      • jukejoint

        Damn right the cat would sell more. He’s cuter and can sing on pitch.

        I’ve already got Antonio Banderas on the Broadway revival cast recording of Nine. (Time out for a rant — WHY THE HELL did those morons cast Daniel Day Lewis in the movie version of Nine? Antonio did it on Broadway and has a good accent already and can sing and is closer to the right age, so, by all means, let’s dig up DDL who is too old and can’t sing and is a good actor, granted, but has none of the Guido charm of Marcello or Antonio…) Antonio rocks. My only consolation is that the movie tanked and Antonio is probably raking in the cash for the Shreks, anyway, so Nine needed him more than he needed Nine.

        Rob Marshall is dead to me. Renee Zellweger as the lead in Chicago put him on the critical list, and Daniel Day Lewis instead of Antonio in Nine pulled the plug entirely.

        • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

          Nine looked so ridiculous. I was so glad it bombed.

    • Katie112

      It would be hilarious, though, if he won and ended up selling more records than Madam. I would pay huge bucks to see the frauen’s vaginas explode over the fact that their RAWK GAWD was beaten by a rocker-wannabe, one that can’t even sing.

      • mozart4898

        Wouldn’t be surprised at all if that happens – just look at how many albums Hinder and Nickelback have sold…

        Of course I still don’t want to see Lee win ;-)

  • jukejoint

    I love Puss in Boots. I got him in a Happy Meal once. In the new ads for the movie, he is all round and cuddly like my own bad boy kitteh.

    (Is it okay to cattard? THAT I can do.)

    • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

      I bought the Happy Meal for him, too. Because he looks like Oskar!

      • jukejoint

        Did you eat the Happy Meal, or did he? I confess — I ate it, but gave my toy to the cat. Mine is brown and not exactly Puss in Boots, like Oskar, but his roundness in the new movie (judging by ads; haven’t seen it) and general attitude are like my boy.

        • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

          Yeah…I ate the Happy Meal. Sometimes, McDonald’s is tasty. And necessary! I also think about how in the 1950s and 1960s, when people were predominantly more skinny, the size of a regular adult meal at a hamburger joint was the size of a McD’s Happy Meal.

          • et

            McDonald’s put some addiction powder in their food or something. I gave up eating beef last month and the only damn thing I miss are McD’s burgers. Which makes NO sense because it barely qualifies as beef anyway.

          • et

            And that should have said *puts* but, alas, I cannot edit and I am hasty on the submit button ;)

      • w.dark

        I have to remember to send you a pic of my Sammy. He’s an Oskar wannabe. And yeah – he actually kinda looks like Puss in Boots. (I can’t imagine him with Antonio’s voice though. He has no balls. Literally and figuratively. He’d sound more like Michael Jackson.)

    • SmartPoptart

      So I am sitting in South Station waiting for a train & I just read this thread, compelling me to go to the McDonald’s there…. Which I haven’t done since, well I can’t remember. So thanks guys, this greasy, queasy yet somehow still delightful feeling in my stomach is all your fault!!!!!

  • caspar

    I guess I’m going to be forced to re-register under yet another name at TWOP just to vote for my choice of title for Lee’s thread after the season ends: The Homeless Man’s David Cook. Says it all, except for the part where he’s also a damn midget.

  • Nich

    I actually kinda like the tattoo though I am a little tired of him looking annoyed all the time. Even Crystal has loosened up some.

    If you’d told me during the top 36 that Lee would be a frontrunner for final 2 I would have called you crazy. I still don’t get it.

  • rockpaperscissors

    Hahahaha Lee, he’s just so ordinary in every way.

    DCFreak from IDF loves Lee this year even though she didn’t think she could love anyone after Cook & Gokey. I swear she just changes the names in her posts each year LMAO. Her posts are so amusing.

    • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

      Her three-part metamorphses of Lee DeWyze should be posted by mid-June. Those are always excellent reads.

      • Mithra

        I’m pretty sure she had a cheesy banner with him, Cook, and Gokey at one point during spoilers. I wonder if I saved it…hmmm…

      • rockpaperscissors

        She has been a constant source of entertainment over the past few years. Her essays, fanfic and soggy pics are epic.
        She has a melt down every performance night and again during the results. She loves playing the victim when people “hate” on her fav but she also loves the drama so she starts threads in GD to bait the non believers. LOL

        I am a huge fan of DCFreak!

    • sodagrape

      I’m assuming that DCFreak = Heliotrope?

      If so, many Cook fans were relieved when she and her special brand of crazy moved on to Gokey. I wonder if the Gokey fans are glad that she’s found a fresh target for her lust?

      • rockpaperscissors

        Yes, they are one in the same. Right now she will be writing a 1200 word missive as to why Dead Eyes Lee will have a moment this week and exactly what he needs in order to do so (just in case he is reading her post, cuz she is certain he does). Most of these end with “I hope he cries”

      • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

        I love Heliotripe. And of course she was going to adore Lee. Funny how she wasn’t going to watch Season 8, though, because no one could compare to David Cook.

  • blacklisted

    John Hamm playing an orge?! Nevah!

    I can’t believe Lee is headed for top 2 night. The little I’ve seen of him tells me he should never make it farther than the smooth vocal stylings of Anoop Desai.

    • Pandora

      He shouldn’t have made it into the final 12. Remember the cancer guy with the blue blue blue eyes? He was a million times better than Lee. And actually goodlooking.

      Lee can’t stay on pitch, can’t actually interpret a song, and can’t remember lyrics.

      • Mithra

        That guy was tarded heavily on IDF where they can talk about the spoilers. His Hollywood audition where he was cut is edited with Timmeh’s, so I rewatched it a few weeks ago. He was HORRIBLE. If you go by IDF tarding, Cardin McKinna (sp?) and Brandon Green (fingernails in a baggie guy) would have been the top two in season 7.

        I think, from what I’ve heard, is that Lee has a great recording voice. I think they are taking these things into account with their choices and pimping, plus earier releases/material.

  • auntieaimee

    He looks like a slug. Either a slug or a sloth, I haven’t made up my mind. He definitely looks like a slow-moving creature of some sort.

    • et

      Sloth! Haha, definitely a sloth. He’s just so… slow and… saggy?

    • Lucky

      I agree. Ugh I hate Lee. He just annoys the shit out of me and I really don’t think he can sing. He would not have cracked the top 5 last year, let alone been in the finals. What a dismal year.

      • et

        My mother called him “schlumpy.” Hee.

  • Dickory Dock

    Lee, why so … droopy? The hangdog expression, the lifeless eyes, the slouchy posture, the shambling walk. Are you a zombie or emo-rocker-wannabe?

    Shrek. I was mildly amused by the first one, haven’t seen the others. Puss In Boots is awesome, though.

    • blacklisted

      I can’t believe you’ve just INSULTED emo-rocker wannabes with this comparison.

  • mozart4898

    Puss in Boots is great too – probably my favorite of the characters. I carved a pumpkin last fall for Halloween with his face on it – where he’s holding his hat in his front paws and has the poor sad look on his face. Turned out awesome.

    I love all the obvious and not so obvious references to other movies or songs in Shrek too. I’ve caught a new one almost every time I watch any of them.

  • http://drlulzington.wordpress.com/ Doctor Lulzington

    Lee, could you try not looking like you’re figuring out what to write in your suicide note? Just for like ten seconds. Be happy. Really.

    • mozart4898

      I still think the funniest one I heard about Lee was looking like he’s gonna throw up on Ryan’s shoes. That would make the season.

      • FreeDavidCook

        He always looks like he’s about to hurl in the tenser moments on Idol. I keep hoping he blows chunks on someone deserving like the judges or Ryan before they boot him. Frau flavored chunks.

        • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

          Frau-flavored chunks reminds me of when Cartman embodied J. Lo and sang Taco-Flavored Kisses.

  • SmartPoptart

    Good lord, is the most exciting thing to happen this season that 3 contestants got tattoos!? [Also, Lee was out....?! At a concert?! I thought all the contestants had like electric dog collars on them so they couldn't leave the mansion or suites or whatever.]

    And I can’t stand Shrek, but I would basically listen to Jon Hamm’s voice in any circumstance. I never wanted a Mercedes until he told me I needed one.

    • mozart4898

      Actually more than 3 of them have gotten tattoos during the season – Crystal did back during the semifinals, and I wouldn’t be surprised if others did too at some point but I just don’t remember now. It’s like it’s contagious or something (of course I’m pretty sure they all had them before they came on the show too).

      I wondered about the whole going out in public thing too. I’d read somewhere that supposedly it was both Lee and Siobhan at the concert – there seemed to be the beginnings of a rumor that the two of them were “together.” Eh, whatever, that part doesn’t interest me but yeah it’s surprising they’d be allowed to go out much of anywhere.

      And Shrek is great – in small doses. Like has been said too, a lot of what’s in cartoons nowadays just goes right over kids’ heads. (The first Shrek movie…”you think he’s compensating for something?” I lol’d at that one.)

      • blacklisted

        Oh nos, the kiddies are self-mutilating. That’s how bad things are going with them this season.

  • Lauren

    Shrek is awesome. I don’t care that I am probably too old for it, I still love it.

    And what is Lee’s tattoo?

    • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

      I don’t think you’re “too old” for it. All animated films made today are just as much for adults as they are kids. Hell, children do not REALLY grasp Up and will not for many years.

      • deez

        Really! Remember the Bugs Bunny Sat morning cartoons? If you watch them as adults you gain a whole new perspective, lol.

    • Jean

      Lee’s tattoo is the municipal flag of Chicago, I believe. (When I say “I believe” I mean, one of the fangirls who comments on his Facebook/Twitter posts looked it up, and I read the comments on his Facebook/Twitter posts because I have an unhealthy crush on Lee DeWyze. I thought that shit was out of my system after I was in love with Josh Hartnett in eighth grade, but I guess not.)

      • http://topidolblog.com TopIdol

        Josh Hotnett?

        • Jean

          Haha YES! It was intense. Removing photos from Teen Magazine (really, me? Teen Magazine?) and hanging them on my bedroom wall intense.

          • Kate123

            Lol, my tween crush was Viggo Mortensen…

          • Paulie

            My tween crush was Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees. Yeah I was a boyband tard then. Probably is, if they do a reunion of sorts. :D

        QUOTE:
        “I read the comments on his Facebook/Twitter posts because I have an unhealthy crush on Lee DeWyze.”

        I don’t have a crush on him and I’m not much into tattoos, but I see a shyness and a vulnerability that draws me to him. Some people just don’t photograph well. I know I don’t and when I smile it always comes out looking like a smirk. This year it’s difficult to even pick a top 2 and it will be Crystal and someone else. Might as well be Lee. That would be better than Aaron, Siohban, Mike and Casey. Casey is good looking but I just don’t like the tone of his singing voice. He plays a mean guitar though.

    • mozart4898

      Anyone else think that getting visible tattoos during the season might not be a good idea for them? I mean, Lee usually wears short sleeves doesn’t he, if I remember right? Maybe I’m wrong – but I know there are still those who don’t really like tattoos (actually I don’t but it wouldn’t be a reason I wouldn’t vote for someone, same as any other part of their appearance). I’d think they’d either want to keep them out of sight or not get the visible ones until after the season would be over at this point. Seems crazy but it could mean the loss of fans.

      Then again, Lee already had the other forearm so I guess that would have been just as visible.
