Condensed Soup: American Idol Mock Up, Dancing With the Stars Meltdown

A ripping snort of tonight's robust Soup!

Could it be that a humble American Idol contestant—through some kind of simple Zen positivism—has actually bested the starmaking power-quartet of judges at their own wicked game?

In the case of sweetie pie Tim Urban, his perpetual smiling-in-the-face-of-hyper-negative-criticism paradigm seems to be the Kryptonite to Simon Cowell's acid commentary.  

Speaking of acid, graceless Kate Gosselin's measured shrew routine against her long-suffering Dancing With the Stars partner Tony Dovolani almost makes you feel sympathy for ex-hubby Jon.

Almost.

In any case, you can let the healing begin tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT when the fantastic Joel McHale ladles out a brimming batch of delicious Soup!
