Randy Jackson Taken Out By “Longtime Admirer” Condi Rice

When Randy Jackson spouts crap like “I’m sitting on the fences with the horses on this one” and “This whole Utah vibe, you know what I’m sayin’? This whole salt of lake…” on American Idol, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would seek out his wisdom—let alone a former Secretary Of State. But Condoleeza Rice recently sought a private meeting at the Beverly Wilshire with the former Journey bassist, having found him “absolutely intriguing,” according to an insider.

“She’s a longtime admirer of Randy and enjoyed the opportunity to meet him in person and talk about their common passion for music,” her spokesperson told Us magazine, whose source claims Jackson was “mystified” but decided to attend. Maybe she knows something we don’t—or maybe she didn’t know he’s been married since 1995.
