Got your own questions for when Ramiele drops by TVGuide.com? Share them in comments!Despite the tears Wednesday night following her elimination, Ramiele Malubay was her typical cheerful self the next day, offering perspective on her performances on Idol and the competition overall, as well as what the future may hold (and yes, Danny Noriega is in it). With solemnity, Malubay acknowledged the hard truth that "there is only one winner [of the show]," but she also sees her weeks on Idol as significant, even if her chances to win are over. "It's actually the first real big thing that's happened in my life," she said. "It's exposure, it's a future, and I'm very grateful to the judges to get me as far as I did to let America judge."And by "judges," Malubay was including Simon, too. He compared her Tuesday performance to that of a singer on a cruise ship, but she still trusts that he has her best interest in mind. "Oh, he likes me, I know he does," Malubay assured reporters.

Following Rosie O'Donnell's heartfelt offer to Danny Noriega in a video on her blog, the American Idol castoff took her up on it, when he sailed away over the weekend to exotic ports.After Noriega was booted from the top 16 on the show, O'Donnell publicly extended the offer to him, calling him a "bold" and "beautiful" young man. But despite the buzz her blog posting got, there was no official yay or nay from the singer himself... until now.In a March 15 post called "Bon Voyage," Rosie and Danny meet as he departs for an R Family Vacation, and the two enjoy a little lovefest of mutual adoration before he ostensibly sails off (watch the clip here). So what's the future of this relationship? (Danny doing guest blog appearances with Ro? An R Family music label, filled with the young dreamers she admires?) Let me know what you envision. — Anna DimondRelated:• Rosie Makes "Bold, Brave, Beautiful" Danny an Offer

No big surprises tonight in terms of the bottom three Syesha and David H both gave pretty lackluster performances and Kristy was downright awfulAt least the Horton Hears a Who promo to kick off the night was a lot cuter than the Jumper one last month and Jim Carrey was a much better sport about it all including making fun of the blatant cross-promotion than Hayden Christensen The other celebrity in the audience tonight was Sanjaya Malakar who was there with his sister though they never identified him and the camera only lingered on him for a moment Oh and Danny Noriega I suppose returning the favor of Ramieles song dedication to him last night was sitting with her family and wearing a T-shirt with her face on it Its all so teenage-BFFs isnt itThe medley of All My Loving I Feel Fine Cant Buy Me Love and Help had some tough spots Amanda for one continues to stick out like a sore thumb during the group songs Oh and her hair was especially odd t

That was quite a night of ups and downs including some pretty incredible performances and a few disasters not to mention some unintentional comic relief courtesy of the judges The two biggest stories of the night were the seeming self-destruction of hitherto nearly perfect David Archuleta more on that in a bit and the heightened crabbiness of Simon who made disparaging comments not only about the singers but about several of the songs themselves and these were Beatles songs I mean come on Simon had a couple of especially cringe-inducing moments including when he said Whats the Irish girls name and Paula and Randy replied quickly Carly Carly Like a guy in the audience behind Simon I put my head in my hands after that comment Ryan who was unless Im mistaken sporting a faux-hawk talked up the new set which was you know big and impressive but not really all that He also had a couple of choice moments with Simon like when he was whisperi
