With all of season 8s anomalous guest mentors, the resurgence of former Idols and the onslaught of guest performers Idol has thrust upon us this season, I was resolute that, at any given moment in tonight’s telecast, Ashton Kutcher was going to crawl from underneath the judges console to let America know it’s just [...]
