J.Lo wasn't that impressed with her audition, but &lt;strong&gt;Steven Tyler&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Randy Jackson&lt;/strong&gt; eagerly handed the girl a ticket to Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the fanfare didn't end there ... a rep for Kerr's management company -- which hosts multiple photos of her on its website -- tells TMZ, its site was forced to shut down for hours after a massive surge in traffic crippled its servers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Kerr's management company wasn't the only thing affected ... photographer &lt;strong&gt;Jim Merrill&lt;/strong&gt; -- who recently snapped Kerr in a bikini shoot -- tells TMZ, he had to scramble to buy additional bandwidth for his website to accommodate all the voyeurs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merrill tells us, he typically gets about 5,000 hits a month on his website -- but just moments after Kerr's audition, his traffic ballooned to 20,000 hits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never underestimate America's online stalking abilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
