♪ Ah, ah ♪

Be cool, Gordo, be cool.

Gordo.

Where do you think you're going?

Away, far away from here!

And leave the band,

after everything we've done for you?

(scoffs) I know what you've done for me.

And what you've done to me.

Oh, you need us, Gordo.

You're nothing without us.

That's not true.

That's not true, and you know it!

Oh, really?

What are you gonna do, Gordo?

Go solo?

Yeah, yeah.

And I'm gonna let everybody know what you are, too.

- Really, what are you gonna tell them?

I'm gonna tell them the truth!

I'm gonna, I'm gonna go to Billboard.

I'll go to SPIN.

Hell, I'll even go to the National Enquirer!

(laughs) Even the Enquirer

wouldn't believe your story.

They don't have to believe it.

All they got to do is print it.

You'll be finished.

You'll be done.

Oh, no, Gordo.

We'll never be finished.

You, on the other hand.

This is Lynn Marie Newenfeld,

reporting live from Campos Island in the Pacific.

As fans of the chart-topping pop act Take 10 know,

Campos island is home

to the band's private house and studio,

though this is as close as most of us can get.

Earlier today, a representative

for the band issued a statement

that their highly popular lead singer, Gordo McSteel,

has been entered into drug rehab

following a dramatic incident late last night

in which the other four members of the group,

Xavier Doorsberg, B.J. Banyon, Jake Slater, and Kyle West,

performed an intervention.

The band was celebrating the end

of their Love Songs From the Street tour

with a party here on the island when McSteel, 21,

attempted to sneak out of the hotel

with a bag full of drugs.

The group expressed regret about the incident.

- (sighs) Gordo's a great guy and my best friend.

The rest of the guys and I just want to make sure

He stayed healthy.

And, well, he's getting the help he needs now.

You can beat this thing, buddy, you can.

McSteel has been flown

to an undisclosed private rehab clinic

where he is expected to undergo a long

and intensive treatment for his dependency.

And in an unprecedented talent search

for such an established group,

the band will conduct a nationwide open audition

for his replacement.

- Each contestant will come up here on the stage

and give it their best shot, so, ladies,

what we need you to do is give it up for these guys

and make them feel like they're already members of Take 10.

Can you do that?

All right, we're about to get started here,

and Take 10's gonna be here in a few!

- See anything you like? - So far, no.

- Well, it looks like we have plenty of auditions today.

Tomorrow's Columbus, Ohio.

Columbus?

- Uh, the funk capital of the world.

I was hoping for a better turnout.

- Well, we can always start soliciting demos

from the talent agencies.

This junket's getting a lot of publicity.

And you're paying out big-time.

That's the label's concern.

Mine is getting the best man for the job and staying awake.

- Want some coffee? - I want a lead singer.

Hey, listen up, everybody!

This is what you've been waiting for!

Give it up!

Take 10!

Now, Take 10 told me that they're gonna be looking

for the guy with the best moves, the best look,

and who really gets you guys going!

So let's get it going with contestant number one!

Yeah!

Whoo!

- okay, can I, can I, can I say one more time,

I don't, I don't know what the hell we're doing here, okay?

God, will you relax?

Stacy, Stacy, look around, please.

I don't, I don't belong here, all right?

You want your big break, right?

- Yeah, yeah, I do, but, you know, not like this.

What's wrong with this?

Stacy, how long have we been going out?

Mm, two months, three days.

- Okay, so then, you know what kind my music is, and,

this isn't it.

- Look at me, seriously. - Come on, Stacy.

- Look at me, seriously. - Okay.

- Eye contact. - Okay, okay, okay.

What, what?

Obviously, this isn't your thing.

I know that, but this is a great opportunity.

You stick with Take 10 a few years,

get your face and your voice out there,

you could do whatever you want.

Just give it some time.

You can do this.

How 'bout it?

are doing really well this time of year.

- (laughs) Yeah. - Sorry, buddy.

I don't think it's gonna work out.

yeah, well, bag this, man.
