Does anyone know why Constantine Maroulis was at everywhere this week? He was at the Rent party and the red carpets of History Boys, Wedding Singer and Lestat. Is he plugging anything besides himself?

he needs to stay the hell away from The History Boys.

Oh Shiksa, I'm TOTALLY with you there. He was awful as Roger. I didn't know anything about him, but I came out of seeing that tour thinking, "That was amazing, except for the Roger." The actors playing Mark and Mimi overpowered/otherwise blew him out of the water in every single scene.
I didn't know anything about him until after when he was on Idol, so I has the same feeling. Actually, the whole cast seemed off to me that night, I know a lot of other people have said my Mark was great, but he must have been having a bad night because I left the theatre thinking "Great music, terrible story". The actors just didn't do anything to make you like the characters. Then when I saw it on Broadway I loved it, and I finally *got* Rent.
He was a horrible Roger when I saw him too. The rest of the cast was amazing!

Constantine isn't a bad guy or singer but lately he's been on some bizzare ego trip. One of my friends is a big supporter of the fan and part of his hardcore fandom who talk to him regularly on his site. Lately, he's broken from his band, badmouthed some of his hard working fans (especially the one who arranged all the bands loding and flights), and been very distant. Again, he's not a bad guy but he seriously needs to step down from whatever pedestal he is on.
Oh and I have heard recordings and found he was a very good Roger vocally. Maybe I had to see him live though...
He looks at the camera the same creepy way in EVERY picture, except the recently posted one.... ewwwww.....
If Percy Blakeney were in Les Mis....
Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)

Yeah, I had noticed that he was in many pictures at being at different shows this week as well. Boy, does he has a talent for looking creepy in pictures.
I agree with donna, he looks VERY creepy in all the pictures he has been in.
