More stars sign on for Idol Gives Back
A lot of huge stars are scheduled to appear on the April 9th charity show (which will actually be taped on the 6th). Just announced, the addition of Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, and Celine Dion among others. There will be plenty of Point artists performing, including Fergie, Miley Cyrus, and Maroon 5. And, of course there will be a lot of Idol alums there too, including Carrie Underwood, Chris Daughtry, Elliot Yamin, and Fantasia. Tickets are actually available to the public and aren't all that expensive considering the average price of a concert ticket these days. They start at $50 and are available through Ticketmaster. (Of course for us there's the added cost of actually getting to LA by next Sunday).
Oprah's Big Give is taking more heatMs. Winfrey's "charity" "reality" "show" hasn't had an easy time of things. It dealt with bad early buzz and a lawsuit. Now there's more bad buzz. The New Yorker says that the show, "stands out as a weird, misbegotten, creature that perhaps shouldn't have been taken out in public".
Yikes!
What do you think? Have you seen the show? Do you like it, or does it seem awkward?
Quick Hits
* The Celebrity Apprentice came down to country star Trace Adkins and America's Got Talent's resident angry Brit Piers Morgan. The Trumpster picked Piers as the winner. Since so many of us were watching anyway...anyone?
* Get ready for another Hollywood remake. Apparently the Pirates of the Caribbean team is working on a reboot of The Lone Ranger. It'll be interesting to see how they get that all sparkly and politically correct.
* Updating last week's item about Sheryl Crow working with Fleetwood Mac, Lindsey Buckingham told Billboard Magazine, "I think we were all a little surprised (Crow) was announcing that to the world with such certainty". Open mouth...insert foot.
