‘American Idol’ results: And then there were three
Hollie says goodbye
It may have taken 57 minutes of Ryan Seacrest agonizingly dragging out the proceedings, the judges babbling seemingly without a teleprompter, and J.Lo ickily flirting with her boy-toy backup dancer Casper Smart...but eventually on Thursday, Ryan did get around to announcing the "American Idol" result that everyone had been expecting not only all day, but really for weeks now: Hollie Cavanagh was, unsurprisingly, eliminated.

That's because merchants pay high fees for accepting credit cards and those costs are passed on to all consumers, the bureau's lead counsel Kent Thomson said in his opening statement to a tribunal hearing whether credit card companies are engaging in anti-competitive behaviour.

Say what?It's no secret that parents should pay attention to how they communicate with their children. Even tiger moms and parents following the French style of raising children could agree that what we say to our kids -- and how we say it -- matters. Tiger moms and French parents get the results they want largely because of what they say. But besides using words to get kids to do what they want, how moms and dads communicate with their kids directly impacts the parent-child relationship long term. And it's the simple statements parents make, usually in a moment of frustration with their young children, which can cause the most damage later on.

Just one day after Nadya "Octomom" Suleman insisted "I am making money" and could afford a $520 haircut, she claimed Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
