People is holding the story until 7 a.m., allowing time for any remaining Claymate holdouts to enjoy the feeling of keeping their heads in the sand.The American Idol 2 runner-up is now the most high-profile contestant on the show to come out; previously, Jim Verrraros came out, as did RJ Helton.

By 15, Scottish singer-songwriter Amy MacDonald was performing in pubs and open mics in Ireland. Now 21, her album This Is the Life just came out in the U.S. after topping the U.K. charts on the strength of its rich and sometimes dark lyrics.

It is now your mission to vote every Monday night (and tonight) for Cloris Leachman, because she absolutely must remain on Dancing with the Stars 7 until the very last episode. She was potty mouthed, rule-breaking, host-insulting highlight in the most outrageous episode yet.In perhaps her best moment in a series of great moments, Cloris Leachman exposed Samantha Harris' inability to add up the scores and basically called Samantha 'stupid.' After receiving her scores--which led to dropped audio because she said 'shit' twice--she grabbed a card being held up by someone off-camera, and revealed that it had her total score, 16, written on it.

She was thrilled about everything--from the show's creative challenges to its music to its 'social/psychological game'--and has applied 15 times over eight years.

That's because Gillian is absolutely exhausting to talk to. She's had interesting life experiences and is admirably passionate about life, but she just exudes so much energy it's draining to listen to her and hard to stay engaged. I think that may have influenced her low ranking in my initial list, because even re-listening to our interview, I was amused by her in the first few minutes, but by the end I couldn't wait for those 17

Among the most influential of TV figures? Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes.
