Last Update on Wednesday, Feb. 8, 2012 at 8:20 AMfrom Eyewitness News Online Hollywood Week On "American Idol" Is Sickly And Unstable Hollywood Week on "American Idol" is usually punctuated by tears and frustration. This year, add vomiting and fainting to the mix. Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe says most of the contestants from the East Coast did not realize how dry Los Angeles is, and they failed to stay hydrated. He says contestant Amy Brumfield, AKA "Tent Girl," brought a virus with her and it spread like wildfire. Lythgoe says one contestant literally fell off the stage. He says they only have a wide shot of that because the cameraman closest to her tried to catch her. Hollywood Week starts tonight on "Idol."

Police quickly ruled out foul play. Madonna Will Tour Madonna has announced a world tour that will begin May 29 in Tel Aviv.

He says he'd love to have Mariah Carey but she's got two small children, he thinks Madonna would be "great" but "expensive," and Katy Perry "would be fun -- and she's feisty."
