Wednesday's intriguing people

Pia Toscano

Viewers were shocked when the American Idol prospect was ousted from the top 10 last month. Last night, it was announced that the singer will appear on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” on Tuesday.

Rich Scali

The owner of Georgia-based Easy Street Rentals  appeared on a commercial praising BP’s response to the oil spill in the Gulf Region. In today’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution, however, Scali said that while he was initially pleased with the support BP provided for his four rental businesses and 16 properties throughout the Florida panhandle, his business is no longer growing 30%, as it was before the spill. He is now worried that before he can get any further claim money, BP wants him to sign a waiver absolving the company for any future problems that rise from the spill. “I look at this as a bad dream,” Scali said.

JoAnn Chiakulas

The 68-year-old grandmother was the lone not-guilty vote that kept former Illinois Gov. Rob Blagojevich from being found guilty of trying to sell Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat. While that jury was also hung on the 22 other counts against Blagojevich, Chiakulas told the Chicago Tribune that she's faced harsh criticism for her decision. Blagojevich’s retrial begins Wednesday.

    No, BP signed a contract with Halliburton that release them from any fault , forget what it was called. Philip knows the legal term.

    Opps, sorry forgot to mention that BP is trying to still get Halliburton to take some of the responsibility though. That's all I know right now unless there has been some new developments.

    I just get bumbed out seeing the eco system in the gulf struggling to survive and don't see any activity to further clean up the mess. No one has mentioned cleaning the gulf sea floor. Its a horror story in itself. Living near the gulf and physically seeing the mess is disheartening.

    It doesn't look good. Brown and grey and somedays a funky smell. The atlantic looks like the ocean should. It only takes me 3-4 hours drive to go from east coast to west coast.

    When vacationing with son bought shrimp in gulf shores alabama. Got a lot of shrimp for $5. It smelt like shrimp and tasted fine. I didn't feel bad or got sick after eating it. I'm just concerned on the cleanup so we can enjoy seafood from the gulf.
