Idol Gives Back
The focus shifts from rising stars to more established performers as AI holds its second "Idol Gives Back" fund-raiser for U.S. and international charities.
Tonight's all-star participants include Bono, Mariah Carey, Billy Crystal, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Fergie, John Legend, Annie Lennox, Maroon 5, Brad Pitt, Snoop Dogg and Reese Witherspoon.
Idol alums Chris Daughtry, Fantasia, Elliott Yamin and Carrie Underwood are also slated to be on hand to lend their voices to the cause, which aims to surpass the more than $76 million raised last year.

If you want to place bets on "Idol" in Vegas, we think we found a way you could score millions of bucks.
TiVo may have cracked the mystery of who gets kicked off and who doesn't. Company insiders say they can predict who's not connecting by TiVo usage.
Here's the deal. In a sample of 20,000 users, TiVo monitors traffic -- which contestants get replayed (a sign of popularity) and which one's get fast-forwarded.
You think it's bogus? Well, the TiVo system has nailed who got booted four weeks in a row.
And who does TiVo say is getting the ax tonight? Poor Syesha. Take it to the bank, people.
:duno: :duno: :duno:

Thanks for the info, rosesrred. :tup:
Kudos to Tivo, which I don't have & know little about. But it doesn't take Tivo, at this point in the contest, to know Syesha will say buh-byeeee tonite! :waves:
TexasLady:
I suppose it could work with a DVR too, I wonder they they are hooked in to cable operators to report what their viewers record. (Since I have one I wouldn't be too keen on finding out they have a spy system.)
I won't say who lost tonight, but I was truly shocked!
