Citation :'Idol' Announces Guest Stars
Ross, Stefani and J-Lo among scheduled guests
February 23, 2007
The first four eliminations didn't cause much excitement on Thursday (Feb. 22) night's "American Idol," but the show made a variety of announcements to pick up the slack.
Paul Kim, Amy Krebs, Nicole Tranquillo and Rudy Cardenas became Top 24 footnotes, but a slew of high profile guest stars were announced for the FOX reality smash.
During the show, host Ryan Seacrest revealed that this season's guest line-up will include Jennifer Lopez, Gwen Stefani, Jon Bon Jovi, Martina McBride, Diana Ross, Barry Gibb and Lulu and Peter Noone. The later Herman's Hermits veterans will be on hand for a British invasion theme night. No word on whether J-Lo's appearance will be tied to a "Music of Jennifer Lopez" theme.
Thursday's show also featured a performance by the show's third winner, Fantasia, who announced her plans to join the cast of Broadway's "The Color Purple" in April, along with a cameo by "Purple" producer Quincy Jones, who was interrupted by Seacrest before he could get out a single sentence.
Plus, the episode introduced Chris Daughtry's "Home" as the new "Idol" send-off song, replacing Daniel Powter's "Bad Day."
If that's not enough "Idol" news for you, the show also announced on Friday that Season Five finalist Kellie Pickler will perform her new single "I Wonder" during next Thursday's results show.
