So we were reading about last week’s two-hour American Idol charity drive and thought you might like to hear about it. We didn’t watch it, of course – we’re not complete lunatics.
The show was designed to highlight charity organisation One: The Campaign To Make Poverty History, which is obviously a great cause, and far be it from us to say the man Cowell should dip in his pocket instead of bleeding dry dirt-poor trailer trash, blah blah blah.
Among the so-called highlights were ex-Idol winner Carrie Underwood singing The Pretenders’ I’ll Stand By You at a bunch of African schoolchildren and Il Divo performing in front of a huge screen showing pictures of kids blowing out candles. Nice.
But the piece de resistance was Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, Gwyneth Paltrow, Helen Mirren and a haggard-looking Teri Hatcher doing a particular unfunny rendition of The Bee Gees’ Staying Alive. Expect all to have fired their agents by Monday. Click below to see the full horror.
