Idol Castoffs Have the Last Word

Like William Hung before them, Kenneth Swale and Jonathan Jayne are proving life as Idol castoffs is pretty sweet. Since getting dissed and dismissed from last week's Seattle auditions – during which Simon referred to Swale as a "bush baby" and made fun of Jayne's weight – the two have appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and the Today show. "We love Hollywood. It's a blast," Jayne told Access Hollywood's Tim Vincent about being in the spotlight. And what's not to like? Swale says, "Me and him both got invited by, uh, Jessica Simpson, Christina Aguilera, and Nicky Hilton to go to a Hollywood party, and my mom's like, 'I'd love to let you go but we have to be up by 4:30 in the morning, get on flight to New York because you're doing the Today show.' " And who was their favorite celebrity encounter? Last season's Idol champ, Taylor Hicks.
