Always keen to cash in, Fox TV is already embarking on auditions for the second American Idol, before this year's winner has even released her album. All three judges from series one - Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson - will return, despite their onscreen arguments. Word is a fourth judge will be added this year. The show launches its next talent search Detroit later today. Auditions will follow in New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Miami and Austin follow, culminating in LA heats on 17 Nov. UK producers decided to take a year off Pop Idol to allow Popstars the Rivals to get media attention - the series will return to ITV next year.
