"American Idol" isn't returning to the Twin Cities this summer - but it's coming darn close. Audtions will be held July 21 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee. More good news for aspiring singers: The eligibility range is now including 15 year olds (previously the minimum age was 16). I'm not so sure that's a good thing; 15-year-olds have enough to worry about, although the absence of Simon Cowell should make their auditions a little less of a nightmare.
