'Idol' News Hot off the Presses!

These are exciting times at "American Midol," y'all! We just got wind of some hot gossip and naturally, we want to brag, er, I mean, share it with you.

It seems there's a "surprise guest" on hand for tonight's finale and rumor has it, it's Live. You know, the band Chris Daughtry ripped off pretty much week after week... Well, when he wasn't ripping off Fuel and Creed, that is.

So, you heard it here first, folks. Daughtry will team up with Ed Kowalczyk and company to sing "Mystery," which coincidentally is the first single off their upcoming album, "Songs From Black Mountain."

Thank God for the mute button.
