TV critic's picks: Wednesday 1/18
"Sexiest: Beyoncé," "American Idol" auditions begin, and an ex causes a stir on "Are You There, Chelsea?"

The baby bump is now gone so we can't think of a better time to celebrate "Sexiest: Beyoncé" (5:30 p.m., Fuse). It's two hours of videos and photos of the pop/soul hottie. Wonder if Fuse will be up to date and explain that her newborn, Blue Ivy Carter, was the youngest person ever to land on the Billboard charts -- at 5 days old -- on daddy Jay-Z's "Glory" featuring B.I.C.
Talent is king
Season 11 of "American Idol" (7 p.m., KMSP, Ch. 9) begins with auditions and, we're just guessing, the judges dissing "The Voice" and "The X Factor."
