"Idol" judges in Boston next week
We're told "American Idol" judges Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson, and Kara DioGuardi will be in Boston next week to tape interviews with 50 lucky wannabes who were plucked from the masses who auditioned at Gillete Stadium in June. Word is the segments will be shot over two days at the State Room. Fox reps could not be reached today and State Room owner Jim Apteker did not return a call.
