American Idol kicks off Hollywood Week on Wednesday. Producer Nigel Lythgoe says of Season 12's stay in Tinseltown, "For the first time ever, we split the weeks up and gave a week to the boys and a week to the girls, which really gave us an awful lot more focus on our talent this year." A total of 276 performers will be cut down to the Top 40 in Hollywood, with the gender split continuing up to the Top 10 in Las Vegas.
