This is what the Government is For

First we have Congress vs. Major League Baseball's Steroid Problem and now we have The U.S. Government vs. American Idol.

Corey Clark (a.k.a. the black Kevin Federline) claims that during his time on American Idol he was both hooking up with Paula Abdul as well as getting the hookup from her - tips on how to dress, what songs to sing, etc. to improve his chances of winning the competition.

From today's AP:

Richard B. Jefferson [Clark's lawyer] said the 24-year-old singer hasn't expressed "any plans to voluntarily reveal additional incriminating evidence, which he possesses, to the general public that undoubtedly proves the extent of their involvement because of its explicit nature."
However, in an e-mail to The Associated Press Monday, Jefferson said Clark would "fully cooperate with any governmental agency that launches an investigation stemming from his claims."

Yep, that's all we need - a governmental agency investigating what's really happening on American Idol. That would definitely be the most effective use of time and taxpayer dollars. If there is an investigation, I hope they will find out where Randy Jackson bought that leather jacket.
