‘AMERICAN IDOL’ UNDERGOES A MAKEOVER

A few minor changes are coming to American Idol, which kicks off January 13.

In addition to the fourth judge - Kara DioGuardi, look for 36 hopefuls, up from 24, to be chosen for February’s semifinals.

And wild-card picks — back for the first time since Season 3 — will let the judges put three singers into the top 12.

Also, the Idol Gives Back charity fundraiser is taking the year off but is expected to return for a third time in Season 9.

An odd decision, needless to say, considering the difficult economic times and social landscape.

    i love that paula has been going around shilling the recent suicide of her stalker in order to get ratings for this show. i swear, american idol spawns only evil. the sooner this show goes off the air, the better.

    I can’t even believe this show is still on the air and that it’s the Number One show. Go figure. I’m more of an MSNBC guy myself.
