Paula's not leaving, but AI will shake things up a bit for its eighth season. Here's a recap of what's happening:
*No "Idol Gives Back" special. A result of tough economic times, producers say.
*A different format for the semifinal rounds. Instead of 24 semifinalists, there will be 36. They will perform in groups of 12, with viewers voting 3 contestants into the final group each night. Then there will be a wild card round when the judges pick the last 3 finalists.
*We're also promised more footage from Hollywood week -- which this year becomes Hollywood two weeks.
*Oh, and don't forget about the fourth judge, Kara DioGuardi. AI's eighth season premieres Jan. 13. Get a schedule for the first part of the season here.
