American Idol, The Day After: St. Louis Auditions Dish
Last night, "American Idol" headed to St. Louis, for the final auditions episode of Season 11. (Sorry, New Jersey auditioners, your originally scheduled episode has been scrapped.)

Lambert vs. Lambert: Good Adam Meets Evil Adam in New Video
Remember how at the Season 8 "American Idol" finale, Ryan Seacrest described the Kris Allen/Adam Lambert showdown as "the guy-next-door vs. the guyliner"?
