Jackson was arrested for felony hit-and-run following the incident, but only after he reportedly exited the highway, began driving in the center divider, was spotted by a police officer driving while talking on a cell phone with his front left tire blown out, hit two parked cars and made his detour onto the sidewalk. He then reportedly drove the wrong way down a one-way street, ran a few red lights and kept trying to outrun the cops as his front tire disintegrated.

But one of the most amazing things about this road-rage incident is that the born-again Christian — who lost his belt to Forrest Griffin in a controversial title fight on July 5 — was driving a monster truck that was no problem for cops to spot ... since it had a giant picture of him on the side, shirtless and sporting his signature giant chain.

He was eventually apprehended at gunpoint by a fleet of police that included 10 cruisers, several motorcycles and a helicopter, according to local reports. Jackson was taken to the Orange County Jail, where he was booked on charges of felony evasion, reckless driving and hit-and-run. No one was injured in the, um, rampage, and Jackson was released on $25,000 bail overnight. Costa Mesa police had not returned calls for comment at press time.

Is it possible that MTV has launched an all-out war between crazed fans of the Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel?

When our sister blog Buzzworthy published an entry seemingly comparing JB fanatics with TH devotees, the site's dear readers almost killed each other (in the blog sense, that is). The original Buzzworthy post was actually talking about the official addition of the word "fanboy" to the Merriam-Webster dictionary and hinted that JB and TH fans may be the ones to thank.

But then things got out of hand ... really out of hand. Karleigh and Katie Santry, who run JonasBrothersFan.com, even say that angry Tokio Hotel fans started posting inappropriate material on their forums, including pornography and violent photos. "Morbid stuff," as the girls described it.

The Jonas site has removed all the nasty images, and Buzzworthy even tried to reconcile the fighting fans. After much trash-talk, it looks like a peace may have been forged. Come on, gang. We're all in this together. Can't we all idolize in peace?

OK, so as we all know, David Cook beat out David Archuleta last night on “American Idol.” But what was a surprise upset for some was kind of a given for many of the hundreds of readers who wrote in during the broadcast.

While there were plenty of Archuleta-heads, many Newsroom readers who gave the kid props for vocal skills simply didn’t see him as having the stage presence and personality necessary to be named Idol...

Abbie: David Archuleta has an AMAZING voice, he’s definitely better vocally than David Cook, but he’s limited in that he can only do ballads without looking extraordinarily awkward.

Diana: It isn’t about the best VOICE. It is about who is the best SINGER. David Cook has the stage presence, maturity, ability to make a great album and put on a great concert -- which I think is what this is about. If it were about the best voice, they would put them behind a black screen and have them sing the same song, in the same style. David A. is not cut out for the pop style of music, he will have great success in another genre.

Daizee: David Cook is the real thing. Who wants a pageant king? Archie is awesome…don’t get me wrong. But Cook is a bartender with no coaching. That is the true American Idol!

Darling: He makes me sleep every time he sings. (Yeah he’s got nice vocals, but I find him boring!)

Brian Z: If Archuleta wins, he should make a record with Ruben Studdard. You will hear both of them in elevators around the country LOL.

Big D: David A always looks soooo uncomfortable. I think he has major self-esteem issues.

Cookalltheway: David Cook should win. He is the real performer. Archuleta…can’t own the stage to save his life.

Mark: David A might be the most boring 17-year-old on the planet. No personality, no charisma, no showmanship, and a voice that is good for annoying karaoke ballads. He is as exciting as a wet mop.

Beyond that, a lot of you waxed industry-savvy, predicting that Archuleta’s ballad-driven style wouldn’t sell CDs...

Stephanie: Would you really buy Archuleta’s CD? I know I wouldn’t.

Sonja: David Archuleta has a beautiful voice, but I wouldn’t buy a love-song CD.

Jenna: It’d be hard to sell a 17-yr-old’s record (remember last year’s winner?), unless that teen is in a cheesy boy band, or is Avril Lavigne/Britney Spears reincarnated. To tell the truth, I don’t like Cook that much, but he’s more marketable.

And some of you simply thought Cook brought the most diverse range of performances...

Jason: Arch has a great voice, but no way should he win. He has no versatility whatsoever. He can do one thing…Cook is more well-rounded. He has the stage presence, the range, and the personality to do it all.

Big D: He can sing, but only ballads -- who wants to hear ballads all the time?

Neeta: Archuleta’s songs sounded too much like a good karaoke rendering yesterday. I thought I was listening to Elton John. Cook is an original! He took hit songs and changed them and made them awesome. I bought “Billie Jean.” Love it. He took an unknown song and made it his own and made me want to hear it again. He even showed us his tender side. All we got from Archuleta was the tender side. It was nice, but I know I would get bored quickly…

Do you agree with the commenters’ Cook consensus? Why do you think David Archuleta lost?
