*Is The “American Idol” Reboot In Jeopardy?-

With auditions starting today and only one judge in place, panic mode may kick in for “American Idol.”

You would think with Ryan Seacrest set to return and Katy Perry locked in, that others would jump on board. So far, Lionel Richie, Charlie Puth, Luke Bryan or Keith Urban haven’t inked a deal and none are close. Record producer Nile Rodgers is now in the mix, but time is running out.

Though auditions start today, the judges aren’t needed for them until cameras roll in six weeks. Part of the problem may be the crazy amount that producers are paying Perry. Lionel reportedly wants 10 million but the show wants to pay him half.

We’ll see who shakes out soon. Source: TMZ

A Guy Has Made Harley-Davidson Infused Gin-

A German man is showing how extreme his love of Harley-Davidson’s go.

Uwe Ehinger, nicknamed The Archaeologist, scours the area for used Harley parts and has now incorporated them into his signature gin. "Every time I make a find of rare bikes, I wonder how to use every single part - because they deserve to be preserved," he said. "That is where the idea for 'The Archaeologist' emerged: presepreserving the spirit of the old machines in an actual spirit and make it possible to experience the taste."

The Flathead, Panhead, and Knucklehead brands are each poured over motorcycle engine parts. There is even a custom glass for each part. In case you’re wondering, the motorcycle piece in each bottle is also covered in a "food safe seal" to keep the metal and the alcohol intact.

If you’re into it, the bottle are as expensive as 13-hundred dollars each. He has an Instagram page to help get the word out.
