wear me like a locket around your throat

The "Idol" judge isn't the only one getting some face time with Cobra. Last season's diminutive finalist David Archuleta stopped by backstage at a recent show, though at least one bandmember had no clue who he was. "[Guitarist] Ryland [Blackinton] met David Archuleta at our show three weeks ago," Saporta said. "[He] had no idea who he was. He's like, 'Hey there, little guy. How are ya?' "

"He looked like a little short-scale Fred Savage," Blackinton confessed. "He looked like a little man."

Blackinton quickly backtracked off that touchy statement about the 18-year-old. "I heard his fan club, the Arch Angels, are a pretty gnarly pack of middle-age women," Blackinton said with a smile. "So, listen: I didn't mean anything bad by calling him a little guy. It's just you can't tell because I'm sitting down — and they make me sit down for all the videos — I'm 7-3. So when I saw him, I didn't even know. I was like, 'Hey, stand up and meet me when you have a minute.' "

After Archuleta took off from the show, Blackinton said he sent a nervous text to Saporta: "Is that somebody important? Did I just mess up?"

The only one to cop to some "American Idol" love was bassist Alex Suarez. "I didn't get to meet [Archuleta]," he said. "I was really bummed out when I found out he was at our show and nobody hit me up on Twitter."

Do you think your gay fans are confused about you?

[Spencer] Smith: Me and Ryan just, over the past summer, both recently purchased our first houses. We used the same interior decorator, and she thought Ryan was gay for the first three months! And I had to tell her that he had had a girlfriend for a year and a half. So -- we have talked about it. For whatever reason our personal taste and preference in art and for videos and artwork appeals like that.
[Jon] Walker: I think everybody's just too afraid to have a good time. Everybody's gotta loosen up a little bit.
Smith: We don't care who likes us -- or who dislikes us.
Walker: And what's the problem if Ryan and Brendon were actually dating, you know? There's not really any problem with that.
Smith: Because they might be.

Walker:I slept with Ryan [Ross] in a twin bed less than two months ago! It was the most comfortable sleep I've ever had.

(from out.com: Pretty! Gay? by way of the lovely txtequilanights.)

If all of your bandmembers were stuck in a burning house, which one would you save?
Nate Novarro: I'd get the super human strength that moms get when their child is in danger, and i'd carry everyone on my back at once. Then we'd go get pizza.
