The Idol Gives Back results show or rather, the non-results show

This wasn't a typical American Idol results show. It was more of a variety show with lots of guest appearences. Ellen Degeneres kicked things off by introducing Earth Wind and Fire who I haven't seen on TV for years. By the way, is it just me or does Ellen look a little different these days? Could be a brow lift or botox, but she sure doesn't look the same around the eyes. Her eyebrows definitely rise up in the middle. Maybe just a little.

My favourite bits: Kelly Clarkson's horrible, horrible Mama Cass dress; that awful Celine Dion and Elvis Presley duet which was creepy but kinda entertaining at the same time; Blake dressed in white; Teri Hatcher tearing around during Stayin' Alive like an old drunk; the Simpsons cartoon bit, didn't Lisa just nail a drunk, incoherent Paula Abdul?


The bits I didn't like: Jack Black, you know he thinks he's funny, but I have no idea why he has that idea; Ben Stiller, who used to be cute and funny but now just acts and looks like someone's desperately uncool uncle; Ryan Seacrest continuously telling us we were going to be shocked by the results this week.

Well, the alleged shocker this week was that no one was eliminated. I dunno, didn't you think that Idol kids didn't look too surprised when Ryan told them they were all safe this week? Usually they're all shaking and quivering when it comes to seeing who gets cut so their reactions all seemed pretty subdued. The good news is that two of them will get canned next week. Phil's got to be one of 'em, surely. And unless LaKisha throws it down next week, she'll be vulnerable too. Anyway, enough of my crystal ball gazing, let's look forward to next week when it's Jon Bon Jovi mentoring the Idol Kids for Rock Week!

I already cannot wait.
