"AMERICAN IDOL"
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There was more puking than singing on "American Idol" last night. A stomach bug spread quickly as the would-be Idols were getting ready for Group Day. Amy "Tent Girl" Brumfield got a new nickname -- "Patient Zero" -- because she apparently brought the flu to L-A. Symone Black got some good news. She was the girl who fainted and fell off the stage. After being rushed to the hospital, the docs said she was suffering from dehydration. Symone got to join a group. We get to hear them next week.
"THE VOW" - RACHEL MCADAMS
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The scene that worried Rachel McAdams the most before filming "The Vow" was the one where she and Channing Tatum take off their clothes and jump in a lake. McAdams didn't mind taking off her clothes, but she was afraid of what she'd find in the water. She thought she'd get "pink eye." She also was afraid it would be freezing and she'd cut herself "on shards of glass." She thought it would be a nightmare, but she was surprised to find out it wasn't bad at all. The Vow opens today.

His competition is Weird Al Yankovic's "Alpocalypse," "Kathy Griffin: 50 and Not Pregnant," "Turtleneck & Chain" by "Saturday Night Live's" Andy Samberg and other members of The Lonely Island comedy group and Louis C.K.'s "Hilarious." Oswalt says he thinks he's "an excellent standup," but he says Louis C.K. is the zenith right now. He hopes Louis C.K. wins. He'll find out Sunday at the Grammys.

"ONCE UPON A TIME'S" EVIL QUEEN'S TATTOO
NEW YORK (AP) -- You probably haven't noticed, but the evil queen in "Once Upon A Time" has a feather tattoo on the under side of her wrist. Lana Parrilla got it when she was living in Los Angeles and having a hard time. She'd lost faith that she'd make it in the business. She said "send me a sign. Why am I here?" Suddenly, she saw a feather dancing in the wind. Over the next several months she saw more and more feathers, especially when she was "down and distraught." She got the tattoo to remind her of those dark days. She says when she looks at it now, it makes her happy.
