Jason Sadler of iWearYourShirt.com played this week and won.  He got the first two questions correct.  He didn’t know the third, but all he needed was 2 out of three.  He was playing as a fill in for his t-shirt buddy, Evan White.  If you remember last week’s Pop Culture IQ, Evan failed so miserably during  that was invited back this week but was unable to play at the last minute due to “pre-hab” on his soon to be surgically repaired leg that he messed up while sky diving.

Jason, who was wearing a t-shirt for Jason Hamlin, a man trying to raise awareness for kidney disease and to get a new kidney himself, won a DVD of the TV series My So-Called Life courtesy of Shout! Factory.

Former American Idol finalist Jessica Sierra (left) admitted to being drunk while performing on the fourth season of the hit reality show.

Her downward spiral began when her mother died during the audition process, she tells Dr. Blogstein’s Radio Happy Hour.

“I couldn’t function for a day without being drunk.” Sierra said about her time on AI, “The drinking part, I think I could hide that pretty well, but I was a mean person.  I was really mean to everybody.  I just didn’t care.”

“I think I was particularly mean with Carrie Underwood (right).  Our personalities just didn’t click. She was such a happy person all the time and I was so miserable and I had to take it out on someone.”

Sierra, who later appeared on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, was never able to get in contact with Underwood to make amends, the ninth step in the Alcohol Anonymous 12-Step Recovery program, so she used the radio show to reach out.

“I am sorry for being such a bitch.” she wants Underwood to know, “It wasn’t anything that she did other than being happy all the time. “
