Austin warbler Kendall Beard is rumored to have made it into the Top 50 contestants on FOX’s “American Idol,” which would make her a shoo-in for a trip to Hollywood.
We know this because an “anonymous caller,” identified on my caller ID as a male member of her family, phoned in the news. She auditioned in Puerto Rico months ago, and those auditions will be featured in tonight’s episode (at 7 p.m.).
Beard, 23, was born and raised here and graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Communication Studies.
Check out this unofficial fan web site. And see if you can pick her out of the hordes of wannabes on tonight’s show.

Does anyone know what TV channel and where and when I can see a "repeat" of the episodes that play Tues/Wed? I am unable to see all of the show on those evenings.

Who cares??!!!??? It's not news in any form because American Idol has wore itself out. It's just another scripted 'reality' show that needs to go off the air. Make those writers in Hollywood earn their 6 figure salary.
