"American Idol" contestant CASEY ABRAMS was "rushed" to the hospital late last night, after experiencing severe stomach pain. 

--So-called "sources connected with the show" say he was rehearsing when he suddenly felt sick.  There aren't any other details on his condition . . . so it's unclear how serious it is. Casey is in the Top 24, and he's scheduled to tape a performance tomorrow.  If he can't make it, there's a chance he could be eliminated from the competition.

Here's video from his audition.
