Not even cops want to hear his sad song.
An “American Idol” reject — who is suing the show for $100 million, claiming producers urged him to “gay up” his act — said the NYPD yesterday scoffed at his plea for protection after he received death threats.
“They told me, ‘If you get killed, come back and we’ll write you a report, ‘ ” Ian Benardo said of the alleged brushoff he received at the 19th Precinct station house on the Upper East Side.

‘Glee’ Premiere to Include Jay-Z, Gaga, Poison
In its first season, Glee featured some weirdly eclectic song choices: Remember “Thong Song” and “Sweet Caroline” in the “Mash-Up” episode? But in the season-two premiere on September 21st, the show will outdo itself. Rolling Stone has learned that the first episode will feature renditions of Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind, ” Lady Gaga’s “Telephone, ” Travie McCoy’s “Billionaire, ” and Poison’s “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” In true Gleek fashion, the cast will also perform two vintage Broadway musical standards — “What I Did for Love” from A Chorus Line and “Getting to Know You” from The King and I — as well as “Listen” from the film version of Dreamgirls.

BBQ&A: Anoop Desai, Barbecue Hero and American Idol
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill alumnus Anoop Desai is perhaps best known as the author of an undergraduate honors thesis in American Studies entitled Why Barbecue Matters in the South. The 60-page paper takes a scholarly look at southern culture through the grease-streaked lens of barbecue. “If one examines the Durkheimian paradigm in relation to North Carolina barbecue, ” Desai writes, “then North Carolinians are divided into two clans of the same ethnic group… there are clear divisions between the eastern and western styles.” Heady stuff indeed, but amazingly Desai’s work in the field of American Studies is not his only claim to fame…
