HOLLYWOOD & LINE by Benjamin Lee Eckstein

Before we get to the odds, we have some news. After a fantastic three-year run, as they say in Hollywood, "That's all, folks!" Yes, "Hollywood & Line" is bidding you all a fond farewell and thanking you for all the glorious support these last few years.

For all you fans that MUST have the odds on "Idol," "Dancing," "Apprentice," and all the rest, you can always hit me at www.americasline.com. We will update odds on our Web site once a week, usually after the elimination shows. Again, it has been a BLAST! Thanks for reading.
