Idol Gives Back will raise awareness and funds for Charity Projects Entertainment Fund (CPEF) and other organizations that provide relief programs to help children and young people in extreme poverty in America and Africa ..."

I *know*, "gag" indeed. FOX is showing commercials for it now... I can't believe I'm going to have to watch American Idol--not only that, but since it's Wednesday, I have to RECORD it 'cause I won't be home.
Oh, life is hard. :)
