Are you bound for "American Idol" glory?

It seems like it was just yesterday David Cook was crowned the season seven "American Idol." Believe it or not, season eight has already begun.

Auditions for the next season began July 17 and run through Aug. 19. The closest the "Idol" judges will get to the area is the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J.

According to the "Idol" Web site, wristbands will be distributed from 8 a.m. Aug. 17 to 8 a.m. Aug. 19. Auditioners will not be permitted to camp out at the center and will have to return on the 19th.

As always, if you are from the Lehigh Valley or northwestern New Jersey and plan on heading to the auditions, give us a shout. We'd love to tell the world about you and cheer you on, even if you are one of those people who will become a star from the wacky auditions footage we'll be bombarded with once the season starts. E-mail me and let me know! I have faith you could be the next David Cook or Kelly Clarkson!
