Interesting. Miley Cyrus gets top billing over Brad Pitt!!

I hope the Manning boys will bring Archie and Olivia along.

Man, back off Kelly Clarkson why don't you? I don't see the names of Ruben, Clay, Fantasia, Katharine, Taylor or the forgettable 6th season Idol winner gracing the list of performers for this shindig. So tired of seeing Kelly's name trashed - she is the best of the best to come out of Idol. Simon wanted to cut her from the start - shows you what he knows about true talent - however, he does know a lot about hype.

Ryan said he's singing this years exit song.

This show is amazing. I can't wait to watch it. There are so many talented people on it this year. Too bad Kelly can't participate, but she's on her world tour. It's hard to be in two places at once.
