Walking the floor of the Idoldome at every show is the contestants' (and the judges') most important ally, the keeper of their faces -- the "American Idol" makeup artist, Mezhgan Hussainy, with whom I spoke after Wednesday night's show. For Talmudic scholars searching for keys to the mysteries of "Idol," a find of Dead Seas Scrolls-level significance is the beauty secrets blog Hussainy keeps on www. americanidol. com, on which she reveals weekly the back story behind every splash of glitter and bronzing lotion.

During deliberations, the seven-man, five-woman panel asked to review some of the 34 recordings that Pellicano secretly made of his conversations with Christensen, in which the two men discussed, amid gleeful laughs and profanity, the plight of Bonder Kerkorian and her attorneys. Prosecutors had argued that those recordings, which were played in their entirety in the trial, showed that the attorney had knowledge of, and was directing, Pellicano's illegal acts. Defense attorneys for Christensen said the same conversations proved that no wiretap occurred or, if it did, that their client had no knowledge of it.
