American Idol's charitable arm, Idol Gives Back, has just announced the latest additions to its annual charity telecast, adding more star power to an already-stellar lineup.
The show, which airs April 9 (Fox, 7:30 pm/ET), will now be graced with appearances from a huge range of talent, such as High School Musical up-and-comers Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale, as well as other stars like Celine Dion, Forest Whitaker, Billy Crystal, Dane Cook, Kiefer Sutherland, Jennifer Connolly, Fantasia and Amy Adams.
The new adds will be joining an impressive roster, which includes the likes of Miley Cyrus, Bono, Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon, and former Idols Chris Daughtry and Carrie Underwood.
Viewers can make donations during the show via toll-free lines and the Internet. The donations will be spread across various groups and organizations and listed on the Idol Gives Back website. Last year, the program raised over $76 million. — Anna Dimond
