File this under...

the supidest thing I have considered in the past 48 hours. Only 24 hours ago, the stupidest thing I had considered was how to free myself from an 8x8 outdoor prison. I tried to be all McGyver and jimmy my way to freedom. In the end, I used brute force and did several hundred euros worth of damage to a hotel balcony door. That's a story for another day.

No, here in Monte Carlo, the question of the night is...have I just had an encounter with a guy made pseudo famous by American Idol?

Without going into it too much, the guy in the picture below denies being the guy on American Idol auditions and Hollywood shows who said, "Everybody is my friend" and winked at the camera. You know, the charming guy who eventually got cut and cried as he walked out of Hollywood. I would be willing to wager decent money that this is, in fact, the guy.

Now, don't get me wrong. This isn't a brush with celebrity or anything. Still, over the past 24 hours, his identity has become sort of an obsession for me. The picture isn't that great, but it will have to do.

So, you tell me: Is this THAT guy? Also, if you can find any pictures online of said dude, send me a link.
