American Idol Auditions Hit Up La Isla Del Encanto

It's that time again! After all the drama-filled intensity of last season, and watching and rooting for David Archuleta, now we have to go through it all over again! No matter how many times we swear off that show ("ésta vez it's for good!") they keep finding more ways to reel us back in. Fox has just announced the eight audition cities for the upcoming eighth season of American Idol, and the big news this year is that for the first time ever, one of those cities is outside the contiguous 48 states - San Juan, Puerto Rico! Chanfle! Get ready for some Menudo wannabes. Idol hopefuls can start lining up for their shot at instant fame when auditions begin on July 17th, and the auditions will be hitting up Borinquen on August 2nd.

Any excuse for a trip to el caribe, eh? Oh well, we need some more hot Latin talent to blog about, so go ahead and try out mi gente! [MTV Newsroom]
