"American Idol" is going to L.A., Ryan Seacrest's natural habitat. I feel betrayed that they didn't use "California Love" or at least have a montage to "California Gurls." Betrayed. But L.A. is the land of hopes and dreams, the land of aspiring stars! Surely some real talent will come out of Los Angeles, as well as some crazies. Mostly just crazies.

Before we settled into L.A., we got a reminder of Brett Loewenstern, Lauren Alaina, and Casey Abrams. Oh, should we be watching them closely, "American Idol"? I had no idea (yes I did). Did you guys see that old guy who came out to audition? He's probably one of the Myspace picks we'll be seeing tonight (because no one uses Myspace anymore).

At the start of Wednesday's show, Fox ran an apology for its most unrestrained judge: "American Idol would like to apologize for last week's outrageous behavior by Steven Tyler."
It was followed by a second black card, which read: "Mr. Tyler has been warned and assured us it will never happen again."
Although many people had speculated earlier on what "it" was, the Fox producers were making amends for Tyler's comment last week when he joked that a contestant's last name rhymed with a profanity.
