'American Idol' is in for another shake-up.

The NY Post is reporting that season 9's Hollywood Week has been moved to January. The reason: scheduling issues.

According to show sources, 'Idol' is switching things around to accommodate Simon Cowell's busy schedule as 'The X Factor' wraps in London.

On the bright side, this may allow new judge Ellen DeGeneres to begin taping during this time, although her official start date has yet to be announced.

Calling all Daughtry fans: The band has just released the second single off their sophomore CD, 'Leave This Town,' and PopEater has the exclusive music video.

In a new interview, frontman Chris Daughtry says the 'Life After You' video is about "capturing our life on the road. We deal with having to connect at home and manage that while we're doing our job on the road -- at the same time. The video shows what we do on any given day... moving from place to place and having to get in touch with my wife. That's what my character does in the video anyway."

Fans anticipating Adam Lambert's return won't have to wait much longer: According to MTV, Lambert will perform his debut single at this year's American Music Awards, airing Nov. 22 on ABC.

The song is not to be confused with 'Time for Miracles,' the track he recorded for the movie '2012' (listen to Moviefone's exclusive sneak peek here). In fact, Lambert said the song will be "something entirely different," according to the report.
