JoesPlace has updated her top 36 list to include Kendall Beard, Felicia Barton, and Adam Lambert, as well as the previously spoiled Lil Rounds. JP is more reliable than the list we got via e-mail of course, so we'll say she's probably right. Felicia Barton is on this list, while she's not on the other one.

Edit: And just after we post this, we're now sure Felicia is not on the list. She's not in the top 36. Probably so some plant like Joanna could be.

For those of you joining us for today’s season premiere of American Idol, let us catch you up. We’ve been doing our research for the past few months to bring you the skinny on the plants of American Idol 8. Here’s a who’s who of the usual suspects who will be competing for your votes this year, along with some wilted plants who didn’t make it. Use this like a scorecard so you can check off the forest as the plants appear on the show.

Plants Who Are in the Top 50

Name: Brent Keith Smith

Audition City: Unknown

Why He’s a Plant: He’s already came in sixth place on Nashville Star 2, had music videos played on CMT, and sang the theme song to the movie Dale. That’s a super plant if you ask us.

JoesPlace confirmed 3 more people in the top 50 today: Adam Lambert (yes!), Felicia Barton (who we figured was there), and Kendall Beard (pictured left with manface). We're learning more every day and it seems the cut from 50 to 36 will happen in January. We'll keep you posted, but you should also keep up posted if you know more. E-mail us, anonymity guaranteed.

JoesPlace gave us even more names of the people who made Hollywood today. Check out our previous lists here, here, and here, and you can add these as well. Please let us know if you know anything about these Hollywood contestants and we'll update everyone.

• Check out some info on these people who made Hollywood: Alex Green, Josh Cloud, Kendall Beard, and Ricky Braddy.
