'American Idol" is wrapping up its auditions and heading to Hollywood.
"Idol" spoiler site joesplaceblog.com has what's (supposedly) a list of semifinalists.
It includes Oak Forest, Ill.'s Chris Medina (who dedicated his appearance to his wheelchair-bound fiancee).
Casey Abrams, of Idyllwild, Calif., is a 19-year-old film camp employee.
* British transplant Hollie Cavanagh flubbed her first song, but regrouped to give it another shot.
* Fifteen-year-old Jacee Badeaux from Lafayette, La. won the local Baton Rogue "Idol" competition last year.
Fox hasn't released details about how the Top 40 get whittled down to the finalists -- who'll be announced Feb. 24 -- but it's rumored that part of the process includes singing a song alongside the cast of the Beatles-inspired Cirque du Soleil show, "Love," in Las Vegas.
It's also been reported that fans will be allowed to vote online for the Top 12 finalists, with the judges getting three additional "wildcard" picks, to bump it up to a Top 15 group of finalists who'll compete live.
