Jenna Fischer’s recent wedding to Lee Kirk was a friendly affair. So friendly in fact, that her buddy Jeff Probst officiated the ceremony.  

People magazine reports that the Survivor host — a longtime friend of The Office star — has been an ordained minister in the Universal Life Church since the 1990s. Although he’s on location in Nicaragua for Survivor’s 21st season, he flew to Malibu for 24 hours in order to marry Fischer and Kirk.

• Probst has reportedly married several friends over the years — and conducted his parents’ 35th anniversary vow renewal.

Recently, an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live was filmed on the host’s laptop after a power outage shut down the program’s control room on Monday (June 21st) night.  

A posting on ABC.com Tuesday explained, “An hour before showtime last night, a power outage shut down the Jimmy Kimmel Live control room, broadcast transmission center, and tape operations area. With guests and a studio audience waiting, Jimmy recorded the whole show on his laptop using his computer’s webcam.”

• Show publicist Chelsea Hettrick said that guests Seth Rogen, John Henson and country artist Dierks Bentley were very accommodating in “going with what happened.”

• Spies supposedly overheard Kate’s partner Tony Dovolani telling others that the “notoriously difficult Barbra Streisand” would have been easier to work with than Kate.

We knew it was going to happen, but still.  Lee Dewyze?  Disappointing.  Oh, yeah.  And Simon’s leaving.  And Paula was there.  And there was a medley of Chicago songs.  And Xtina.  And some other people.

Bring on America’s Got Talent!

Each contestant sang three songs.  They picked their favorite song of the season, sang a song chosen for them by Simon Fuller, the Executive Producer, and performed the song that will be released as their single if they win.  Which, this year, for the first time, won’t be some awful dreck written for the winner, who will be forced to record it and release it to a disappointed public.

What did our Listener Panel of Judge Natalie think?  Let’s ask her.

What were her favorite performances?

Who’s going to win it?

And we just have to see Crystal sing “Up to the Mountain” again.

Which leaves us with Crystal Bowersox and Lee Dewyze to duke it out next week! 

Natalie was very excited.  See?  Look how surprised she was when Casey was eliminated.

5.20.10.2.American Idol Says Goodbye to Casey James

If the judges aren’t trying to get rid of Casey, then tell us why they gave him a John Mayer song.  And not just any song, but the most boring John Mayer song ever.  And that’s really saying something.

And if the judges aren’t trying to make sure Lee wins the season, then explain why Simon got to choose his song, coordinate the arrangement, dress him like a preacher man, give him halo-esque  backlighting and a heavenly choir!  Huh?  Explain that, America!

Natalie was NOT happy.  See?

The good: 5.19.10.1.American Idol Top 3 Best

The bad and the ugly: 5.19.10.2.American Idol Top 3 Worst

Predictably, Erin & Maks and Chad & Cheryl we re in the bottom two.  Alas, we say goodbye to Chad.
