'American Idol's' arrival in Hollywood is a Tuesday TV pick

'American Idol'

After weeks of auditions (both good and bad), we've finally arrived at Hollywood Week and the addition of Ellen DeGeneres as a judge on the panel with Randy, Kara and Simon. Let's hope she brings the funny to counteract all the drama in this portion of the competition. 8 p.m. Tuesday, Fox (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
