Leno Pokes Fun At ‘American Idol’ Stars

Jay Leno went on the attack against ‘American Idol’ stars Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini’s new movie, then speculated on a plot for Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken. He joked during his Friday monologue, “Scientists say they have identified the shortest possible unit of time. It’s the length of time from when the ‘American Idol’ movie, ‘From Justin to Kelly,’ comes out, until it gets to video. That is the smallest, smallest, smallest — [Cheers and applause] We couldn’t even get a screening of it. The studios refused to let reviewers see it before it came out. They say it’s kind of like ‘Grease,’ except no one’s sure if Justin is playing Travolta or Olivia Newton John. [Audience ohs] So we don’t know. Is that going to be a regular thing now? The stars of the ‘American Idol’ getting movies? What’s the next one? ‘When Clay Met Ruben’? You think that would be it? Some kind of prison picture possibly?”
