Idol Gives Back and Puts on a Big Show

We brought you pictures from the arrivals room earlier and now we've got some great shots from the Idol Gives Back show too, which took place yesterday at LA's Kodak Theater. Reese Witherspoon looked gorgeous as ever in a simple LBD, whereas Robin Williams went colourful in his sunshiney outfit. Brad Pitt had some technical difficulties with his microphone, but ever the professional he looked unfazed. Carrie Underwood stood side by side with Teri Hatcher (she's got guts to sing in front of millions!) and Carrie also performed George Michael's "Praying for Time". She said:

"That's a song that I've always loved, and I've always loved the message... It took me forever to be able to sing that through without crying, and I know if that song made me feel that way, maybe it will make a few other people feel that way as well and maybe make them feel strongly about doing something."

I can't wait 'til Friday to see Carrie's performance and all the other stars on stage - particularly Fergie's cartwheels during her performance with Heart. Good times!

Stars Arrive for Idol Gives Back

A whole host of celebrities gathered at LA's Kodak Theater last night for the taping of Idol Gives Back. Singers dominated the arrivals room, with our own Geri Halliwell walking the carpet with her new man. I love Carrie Underwood's hair and makeup but I'm not sure about her dress - shimmering dream or splattering of child's vomit? Fergie slipped into some tight trousers while Miley Cyrus gave the peace sign and admitted to OK! that she never has time to watch the show. I'd hate to be that busy!

As we know, actors were also helping Idol to give back, with Reese Witherspoon visiting a school in New Orleans and Teri Hatcher performing on stage (which the vast majority of you were not looking forward to!). The weirdest sighting in the arrivals room for me was one-time footballer and current actor Vinnie Jones - how random! The show will be broadcast here on ITV2 on Friday, but our friends Stateside will get to see Brad Pitt on stage two days earlier. Jealous!
