It's nice to see people doing good every once in a while!

Ellen DeGeneres has been confirmed to once again join Ryan Seacrest as host of Idol Gives Back on Fox, as part of the yearly American Idol benefit special. The special it's set to air on Wednesday, April 9th.

The celebs are coming in full force this year, as well. Set to participate are Bradley Pitt, Bono, Reese Witherspoon, John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Carrie Underwood, and several others.

The performance lineup is also looking good, with acts like Maroon 5, The Clark Brothers, Boyz II Men (wait, they still perform?), and our favoritest Latina, Gloria Estefan.

Hopefully, with the help of so many viewers, the benefit can raise millions of dollars this year to fund various charities worldwide. Last year they raised $78 million. Let's hope this year they make it to $100 mil.

We'll be donating. U should too!

      of course the pink-haired fat-ass leaves out the best attraction, Ms. Mariah Carey, for the line-up - oh yeah, that would go against his "Kiss Madonna's Old-Ass" campaign!

    31. lee says – reply to this


      31

      Yes, Boyz II Men still perform! They were in Dubai recently, a couple of months ago, heard they were great.

    32. fuckery says – reply to this


      32

      All these celebs giving money in such a public way are just buying themselves good publicity. Stop being naive people! They could just as easily give the money privately but they want all the applause & positive feedback. Simon Cowell gets HUGE good publicity for just $80000. Sounds cheap to me!

    33. AND MARIAH says – reply to this


      33

      UMMMMMMMMMMMM DON'T FORGET MARIAH CAREY WILL BE THERE TOO. I LOVE HOW U CONVIENTELY DISREGARD HER CUZ OF THE FIGHT UR HAVING WITH HER. PRETTY PATHETIC. SHE IS THE BIGGEST NAME APPEARING ON IDOL GIVES BACK AND U DONT MENTION HER. PSHHH…

    34. selfish bitch says – reply to this

      Publicity whores! If nobody was watching they wouldn't be there.

      Jez Christ, Perez. Could you be more fucking obsessed with yourself? Can I start calling you Tyra? Calm it down, girl.

    37. ja says – reply to this

      bradley pitt?..do you mean BRAD pitt?

    39. Tracy says – reply to this


      39

      What is it with this pretentious 'Bradley Pitt' bullshit? That piece of garbage never did a selfless charitable act in his life. Every move that moron makes is calculated by others to promote himself, his whore, or one of their money-pit movies. How long till they move to France? Can I help them pack?

    40. rando says – reply to this

      Don't be ridiculous if the fossil Gloria Estefan is performing what stops Boyz II Men from being active???? Get over yourself

    41. Christine says – reply to this


      41

      YAY!!!! Let's take more of our money and send it off to other countries while our OWN people are suffering. I feel bad for the world wide people who are suffereing, but, it it is our duty to take care of our own first. They have governments. Let them deal with their own problems. If the governments won't, then the people should rise up and revolt!!!!

    42. MARIAH CAREY WILLL BE THERE TOO!! U JEALOUS FAG!!! says – reply to this


      42

      MARIAH CAREY will be there too!! no matter how much you keep trying to uninform people about how much she's getting major press unlike WHOREDONNA! MC will still come out on top!! U've been drnking too much Hatorade! that old dried up CUNT did like what 2 or 3 mag covers that no 1 gives a fuck about u act like shes getting major press …you didn't even put pics up of Mariah's PARADE mag cover shots she looked hella HOT and u were Jealous that she looking better than that Granny WHORE …AMAZON WHAT? who gives a shit every1 knows MC will MURK that fag hag anyday!

      How is it "idol gives back" when they want me to give. They're making alot of $ with that retarded show. Let them give their own money. I will not be donating to this and they can kiss my ass.

      YES Boyz II Men still perform, they just put an album out late last year… derrrr.

      And stop with the Madonna vs Mariah business. We all know Mariah is better.

      Why are you such a hater perez, you know damn well that MARIAH will be on that show and a featured guest on idol and idol gives back, yet you prob. inc. her with the "others". don't be lame. Who gives a fuck about Amazon btw, i don't go through them to get my cds.

    51. YOU ALL SUCK ASS says – reply to this


      51

      You guys of asshole…maybe one day you will loose everything and then wonder why no one wants to help your dumb ass. And who the F*CK cares if they get good publicity for giving a large sum of money to charity, what are you giving??? Selfish, greedy, cruel ass fuckers!

      57

      …love ellen..shes awesome..i enjoyed her dancing to the new Madonna & JT..Perez..just wanted to add..Boyz II Men sure in fact does still perform..I sometimes feel like the only existing BIIM fan….but their shows are packed from wall to wall..for the past three years they have done tons of shows, mostly at smaller venues like House of Blues..but they have never really been known for huge, crazy, loud concerts..they are very intimate..and whenever i tell someone i'm going to a BIIM concert..people seem to always remember the moment when they heard their songs…they start singing End of the Road..and all those other hits they had…they also beat Elvis's record for # of weeks at #1..and there is only three of them now…but they still sing with the same emotion..harmonize beautifully..and dance their asses off…sorry to take the focus off ellen…but I always defend my boys!!!..a handful of the last existing groups that can really sing..accapela, harmony, no computers..all real soulful voices..

      59

      Hey

      Are you boicotting Mariah yourself… Thats weird, she was OK to you on the radio, it seems like you want her to be mad at you, and it pisses you off that she isn't, or she doesn't show it.

      Thats great… but with the war and economy taking a shit, WHO WILL HELP US? Absolutely noone, but the celebs will continue to donate to charities overseas… Seems they are like screw america, we've only paid their bills and made them who they are. We are in some serious shit here, I only hope we all end up ok.

      Is it possible for the idiots who get on these message boards to stick to the subject. The story was about ELLEN hosting. Good for her. I Love Ellen because she has the right balance of humour and emotion. Rather Ellen than some other celebrity who will fake cry through the whole thing and put on a serious, deep thinker act. People still want to be entertained even when the subject matter is sad. That's the best way to raise money. LOVE YOU ELLEN!!! - Oh - and I think she's totally hot.

      Boyz II Men sure do still perform…I saw them at the opening Christmas concert at Longwood Gardens this past November and it was just like old times. They sang all the old favorites, including End of the Road which the crowd went crazy for. They were great…I'd love to see them again!

      If Idol is so generous why don't they give all the money they receive from commercial endorsements that night instead of asking us to shell out the cash. I'll throw in $10 if I can watch Paula blow Simon while Randy takes her from behind.
