Pasadena, CA , May 15 – Simon Cowell said that America has gone mad for allowing American Idol reject Will Hung to close KIIS FM’s Wango Tango On-Air festival on Saturday. The fabulously untalented Hung reprised his Idol fiasco, She Bangs, to end the 14-hour concert. Another Idol alum, Clay Aiken, played the superstar, only allowing the press to shoot photos during the first two minutes of his first two songs. No such restrictions for unknowns like Lenny Kravitz, N.E.R.D., Backstreet Boys, Good Charlotte and the Black Eyed Peas.

Janet Jackson managed to keep her breasts tucked in as she lip synced and danced her way through a couple of songs. Enrique Iglesias managed to keep fiancé Anna Kournikova tucked somewhere backstage – she was there but we couldn’t find her. Some siblings were on hand – Hilary Duff brought her sister Hayley out to do a song, and brunette Ashlee Simpson introduced her blonde sister Jessica. Jessica was her erudite self, saying, “It’s so nice to not have backup dancers and learn routines and be able to just sing without a backup tape.” (We’re working on having that translated, folks; we’ll get back to you with what this bit of wisdom means for your life.) We love Jessica. What was that about America having gone mad? America may not be mad for the group Busted, but Britain is. The band, used to playing stadiums in the UK, performed on a side stage at midnight for about 2,500 fans. Wango was their only U.S. appearance - they flew in from Tokyo for the concert, and then left the country the following day.
