…LPGA regular Angela Stanford has won a tournament and represented the United States in the 2003 Solheim Cup. But ask if her she’s a little nervous around Mr. American idol?

Thanks to an alarm we’ve rigged to alert us to all things Idol, we identified the secret location in Miami where Idol staff is crushing the hopes of the many deluded superstars.
