The last of the “cattle call” Season 7 auditions took place in Philadelphia, PA this week. According to American Idol producer Patrick Lynn, there was a “monster turnout.” at Wachovia Stadium. “Three times the size it had been anywhere else,” Lynn says. Philadelphia is not only the last audition city, but also the only tourstop in the Northeast. All in all, 20,000 people turned out to audition, the largest turnout in Idol history according to Idol publicists.
Anthony Fedorov worked the crowds at the audition for the local FOX affiliate. Also on hand were Kimberly Caldwell for TV Guide and Constantine Maroulis. According to Kimberly, tryouts in front of the producers are taking place at a secret location Wednesday and Thursday. Auditions in front of Randy, Paula and Simon will take place Saturday and Sunday.
Producer Lynn says, “Philadelphia is the turnaround city, so you’re lucky to be getting all the judging done in one week. In the other cities, we’ve just done the first round preliminaries and so we’ll be revisiting those towns after Philly.” The judges rounds with Randy Jackson, Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell, will continue through the second week of October.

Bad news for Season 4’s Jessica Sierra. She was arrested early Sunday morning in Tampa, FL for allegedly hitting a man on the head with a heavy glass. She faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was also charged with the introduction of contraband into a detention facility and possession of cocaine after officers found a small amount of coke while searching her. She was released on $11,500 bond. She looks pretty rough in the mug shot… More details here, and the police report here.
On a happier note–Jessica’s season-mate Anthony Fedorov joins the cast of ”The Fantasticks” in New York City. His debut, playing the character Matt, begins tomorrow night. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster.com.

Taylor Hicks’ 22 lb weight loss is featured in this week’s People Magazine. Check out the before and after photos here. I’m sure playing for 90 minutes to capacity crowds every night on his current 54 city tour is helping Taylor stay trim. That, and his every-other-day jog. Says Taylor, “I just take off running, with a hat on…I’ve walked through a thousand fans and nobody notices.”
I’ll be checking out Taylor’s tour for myself in a few weeks. The critics have been impressed, and I have no doubt that I will be too.

Jennifer Hudson has recorded what she calls a “very hot” duet with R&B artist Ne-Yo for her upcoming debut album.
