LUCKY, LUCKY GIRL. THAT’S NOT AWKWARD AT ALL.

NOPE.

GOKEY I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TRULY BAD ASS YOU WERE. TATS? WHAT’S NEXT? LEATHER? OH MY BE STILL MY HEART MADE BY MY HANDS FORMING THE SHAPE OF A HEART

WHY DIDN’T YOU GET THIS DURING THE RUN OF THE SHOW? YOU COULD HAVE EASILY GOTTEN BOTH THE WIDOWERS AND TATTO LOVERS VOTES AND AT *LEAST* GOTTEN TO THE FINALE! D’OH!

You guys know that I’m not really a Danny fan. But after last night, I really can’t hate the guy (not that I ever “hated” him) but I don’t have a bad word to say about him. He was nice to everyone and he was so sweet to all his fans, especially the little ones. I was behind the little kid with cancer (who was so adorable btw) and he was so sweet to them. He even got down on his knees to pose with them and after he signed everything, he said to them, “Can I get a hug?”  It almost made me cry…it was that sweet.

@gokeyisadouche made MTV News! I’ve edited it down for length but click the link to read the full thing and the comments are priceless.

It’s been a rather trying week for Danny Gokey.

First, there was the rather bizarre story behind DannyGokeyGear.com, a Web site selling glasses like those worn by the “American Idol” contestant (with proceeds supposedly going to charity) that actually has nothing to do with Danny Gokey at all. Then, after Gokey posted a Twitter message about the site — calling it a “scam” and claiming that his charity, Sophia’s Heart, “[has] not seen 1 penny nor been contacted” — it was revealed that the owner of the Gokey Gear site had, in fact, reached out to Sophia’s Heart and received its blessing.

And finally, late Wednesday, someone hacked into the Facebook account of Gokey’s cousin and discovered that she had posted a series of photos that showed Gokey and his family out to dinner with Lambert and several other “Idol” contestants (at a Buca di Beppo, of all places). Apparently, Gokey had printed out a photo of “Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert wearing green body paint, glitter and blue lipstick and brought it to dinner to have Lambert sign it.

Lambert wasn’t too thrilled with this (which is evident in the Facebook pics), but he signed anyway, then posed for several pictures with Gokey’s family. Those photos were also posted on Gokey’s cousin’s Facebook page, along with several comments from friends, that were generally of the “OK, I just puked!!” and “ooooooooooooooooooh HELL NO!!!” variety. There was also this comment posted by someone named Talea A. Gokey: “To tell you the truth, dad stayed as far away as the room would allow!”

Then, ONTD commenters pointed out that Gokey had said the following in a live chat with Comcast on Wednesday: “Yes. I accept gay people, but people have to accept my beliefs. We have to accept their beliefs, but they have to accept my beliefs. We agree to disagree. I don’t judge people, but at the same time, if they believe in what they believe, they have to accept me and what I believe. But I accept anybody as they come. That’s my character and my personality.”

Given all that, it seemed what happened next was inevitable: ONTD users created a Twitter hash tag — #gokeyisadouche — and decided to include it in their respective Tweets until it made it all the way to #1 on the site’s Trending Topics (which it eventually did, overtaking #iranelection at the top of the list).

That, of course, caused even more people to begin Googling “Gokey is a douche” (because, really, most people had no idea what was happening), sending the term rocketing up the Google Trends list. And from there, an Internet meme was born.

I missed most of the twittergate stuff so I went to check it out just now and was curious what people were tweeting Gokey. I noticed that some Gokey fans have started making their pics green. Is this supposed to be a dig at the Green Adam pic? He posted something about showing support for Iran by changing your pic to green, but why do I feel like he’s just taking advantage of the situation. It’s a total Dirty Duke trick! A random sampling…

Waddlezizmyname sent me the following (LMAO):

So, I was on an Adam fan site, and we were discussing how huge of a douche Danny is. Bad dude! I did a little experiment at 2:15am by typing in “Danny Gokey Is a-” into Google. The first two options in the auto-fill options are “Danny Gokey is a douche” and “Danny Gokey is annoying”. The last was “Danny Gokey is a Christian”. I find it troubling that so many people actually need to search on Google to find out ANY of the three, or that they need resources to describe any of them, as well.

This pic showed up in comments but it’s almost definitely ONTD AI (make sure to leave a link guys when you leave me stuff so I can credit the fab peepz who made these!)

ZOMG the pic was made by Ruby Fruit and she commented my blog. Excuse me while I go all fangirly *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*

I just read all the comments on the Gokey Cousin Facebook post so I thought we could use something to lighten the mood. I think I’m slightly in love with Fake Danny:

From Facebook:

“Sigh” dad took pics of me with Adam and its sooo funny cause he told me he is going to use it for black mail! Adam I have to say was nice, but to me it felt kind of fake but that just MHO. He did like to tell me how good he thought he looked in one of the photos I had him sign lol!!

Danny asking Adam to sign the soon to be Famous green picture. Adam posed in a picture where his whole body was painted green and he had blue sparkily lipstick on and a blue hair wig with a Tiara and a necklace. He also wore some sort of long skirt.

Adam was supper P.O.ed when he saw it his voice went all high pitched and he said “What the F***!” “where did you get this” Danny is all like just sign it. Adam said “You owe me for this!” LOL! My dad and I just laugh all night long about it, I thought he would be proud of the picture… i guess not…

Ok, this is Candy talking now. Look how upset Adam is here. That is the face of someone who just had an encounter with a douchebag and his mean relatives.

From Matt’s twitter:

David Archuleta sent this gem out on Twitter today:

Oh my Heck, there are cats outside fighting and they’re really loud! Hush cats! People are trying to sleep! You shouldn’t fight anyway

Which of course made me think of this:
