American Idol contestant Alexis “Glitter Girl” Cohen: RIP

Remember American Idol contestant Alexis Cohen, whose in-your-face antics on season 7 earned her Internet notoriety and an invitation to embarrass herself yet again for America’s amusement on season 8? She was killed yesterday by a hit-and-run driver in Seaside Heights, NJ.
