The couple never miss an episode of the reality talent competition and recorded it while they were at the film premiere.
She explains, "It's my obsession on Tuesdays, so we have it on TiVo tonight.
"It's just an escape for people. It's a hour and half each week to just sort of relax - it's like junk food.
"I'm actually bummed, because I have to fly right to New York after this and I'm desperate to get home and flip to my favorite people to see how they did."
BEHOLD THE HIT MAKING POWER OF AMERICAN IDOL ....
