The Justin Files, 4/10/08 - Idol Gives Back Edition


Since Idol Gives Back was the big story from last night, we'll focus on the high (and low) lights for today's Justin Files.
  • Early in the show Desperate Housewife Terri Hatcher covered Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats". While it wasn't terrible, I don't think Susan Mayer will be entering the competition any time soon.
  • It seemed like it became 80's night when Gloria Estefan and Shelia E performed together. I'm surprised Paula didn't jump in on that one.
  • Point star Fergie rocked out with Heart on their rock classic "Barracuda"
  • A number of online commentators have pointed out the interesting fact that Miley Cyrus performed twice, while reigning American Idol champ, Jordin Sparks simply watched from the audience (although she is slated to perform her new Point single "No Air" with Chris Brown tonight).
  • Finally, a nice rumor is floating around about Britney Spears. Apparently she was so moved by the clips of children, that she personally donated $25,000
I'll let you know the final tally when they announce it on tonight's results show.


Quick Hits

* Of course Hollywood didn't stop just for Idol. It looks like two Point artists are gonna shack up. Ashlee Simpson announced on her blog that she's engaged to Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.

* The writer's strike has been over for quite a while now, but new shows are just starting to make their way to us now. NBC's shows are all new tonight; My Name Is Earl, 30 Rock, The Office, Scrubs, and ER are all fresh episodes.
