For those of us who think we're pretty hot stuff at the karaoke bar but wouldn't dream of trying out for "American Idol," there is now another option. Disney has signed a deal with "Idol" producers 19 Entertainment and FremantleMedia to create an attraction at Florida’s Disney World based on the show. You audition in a video kiosk and a Disney producer determine if you're good enough to be made over and appear on the "American Idol" stage (what a job!). There, you'll perform before a panel of judges and the contestants with the most votes will compete in a grand finale show at the end of the day. But here's the thing: Winning the competition does not lead to an appearance on the Fox series. No plans yet for Disneyland. (Variety)
