BOO?!...MORE LIKE BOO-HOO! “American Idol” ratings are sooo bad that even “PHYLLIS,” the show’s legendary female ghost-in-residence – famed for wooing hunky male judges or contestants, and jealously haunting/harassing the gals with her scary pranks – has abruptly vanished from the set!
“She’s apparently off looking for more popular shows to haunt,” said a show insider, citing the whopping 22 percent drop in “Idol” ratings – plus a 23 percent loss of audience in the advertiser-desired 18-49 demographic! “Phyllis has been lurking around backstage for years, but she’s been a no-show all season,” said the source.
“Ever since STEVEN TYLER departed, Phyllis has left everyone alone. It’s scary...and sad!”
