Fox Exec Session: Rice, Reilly Talk ‘Glee,’ ‘Terra Nova’; Won’t Talk ‘Idol’

No judges are signed and no details are given; “Will be more constructive to talk about it all in one shot”

Everyone was counting on a torrent of "American Idol" news at the Fox presentation at TCA on Monday.

Instead, the packed room of TV journalists got a whole lot of "Glee" season two, an update on the now-delayed Steven Speilberg sci-fi drama "Terra Nova," and a briefing on the network's post-Conan late-night plan (there apparently isn't one).

Anticipation had built for official confirmation that Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez would be signed as "Idol" judges, and that Kara DioGuardi would be departing … and that Nigel Lythgoe would be returning as an executive producer.
