Cars.com just released their annual American-Made Index, and the "Most American" car of the year is . . . the Toyota Camry.

The Ford F-150 finished second.

People born in America become citizens without taking a test . . . which is good because according to PR Newswire one in three natural-born Americans FAILED the test in a survey by Xavier University.

According to an exclusive report from Radar Online, 19-year-old fan Ashley Kauffman was booted from the front row because staffers told her she was "just too big, too heavy to be in front."

Kauffman claims she and two of her friends were moved to a "far row of the theater section, right at the back."

Medina had been a fan favorite with his touching story of caring for his fiance who was left brain damaged by an accident shortly before they were supposed to wed. The episode ended on a cliff-hanger, with Lopez claiming that she couldn't proceed with the eliminations.

One blog described him as "leering," and pointed out that "Idol" even ran a montage of him flirting with the girls.

--But perhaps his most questionable comment was directed toward perky 16-year-old Victoria Huggins. Steven said that the skirt she was wearing left, quote, "just the right amount showing . . . that's nice."
