I’ve gotten some more complete information on tonight’s Larry King Live. While I previously thought it would be just Kris Allen and Adam Lambert on the show, it turns out it gets much better than that.

While much of the show will assumably be concentrated on the winner and runner-up, the rest of the finalists will be on as well, just as in years past. Paula Abdul and Ryan Seacrest will appear as well. And after the hour is over tonight, it’s not done yet, as everyone returns for a second hour on Monday night.

Additionally, Ryan will be taking a question from either Twitter or Facebook. Questions can be asked of him, Kris, Adam, and the other finalists as well. To get your question in now, either go to the CNN Fan page on Facebook or Tweet your question on Twitter to @kingsthings (Larry King’s personal Twitter account) or apply the hashtag #LKL to your Tweet.

It sounds a little corny, but you know what I’m looking forward to the most about tonight and Monday night? Seeing them all together. They had such a good camaraderie this season, even more so than in years past, that I just want to see that again. If you hear the question asked on why Scott McIntyre was shut out of a solo, or even one line or piano playing even, that will be me. We’ve heard rumors, but I want the dirt.

Make sure you tune in tonight to CNN at 9 PM ET/8 PM CT.

I don’t know why but I find Meat Loaf, meaning the singer, not the entree, entirely fascinating. He’s just hard not to watch when he guests on a show. Tonight he’s on the season finale of Don’t Forget the Lyrics. And if you like that show, catch it tonight, as while it’s being called a season finale, it’s not on the Fox schedule for this summer, next fall, or next winter.

1. Alvin and the Chipmunks. The cartoon is made over into a movie combining live action with animation and starsthe voices of Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Jesse McCartney. It’s cute, and that’s about all. 11:10 AM HBO Comedy East

2. Erin Brockovich Based on a true story, Julia Roberts stars as a woman who gets a job as a legal assistant and is the only one with the cajones to take down a utility company that’s contaminating the water. 11:45 AM Starz

3. The Bonnie Hunt Show. Bonnie always honors those comedians and talk show hosts that came before her, so I’m betting today’s show with Dick Van Dyke will be a good one. Common guests as well. 2:00 PM CT NBC

4. The Quiet American. Screen adaptation of Graham Green’s novel starring Brendan Fraser and Michael Caine about a British journalist and American agent in Vietnam. It’s a great commentary of Vietnam from a different perspective. 2:45 PM CT IFC

5. Don’t Forget the Lyrics! It’s the season finale, event hough we haven’t see the show for several weeks, months perhaps. Meat Loaf and his daughter try to win money for a camp for seriously ill children, The Painted Turtle. 7:00 PM CT Fox

6. The Seven Year Itch. Marilyn Monroe classic playing the sexy neighbor of a man whose family is away from the summer, giving him nothing but sexual daydreams of how he’d really like to spend the summer. 7:00 PM CT Retro

7. NBA Playoff: Game 2: Magic at Cavaliers. It’s game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. 7:30 PM CT TNT

8. Alzheimer’s Project! This episode of the series highlights families that provide caregiving for their loved ones with the disease. For more information, check out my review of the series. 7:30 PM CT HBO SIgnature East


9. Dateline NBC. A report on the death of a fisherman, and a stripper and steelworker who are somehow involved in the mystery of passion, manipulation, and murder. 8:00 PM CT NBC

10. Larry King Live. Kris Allen and Adam Lambert of American Idol will both be on tonight. 8:00 PM CT CNN

11. 20/20. Video diaries from a summer camp show kids suffering with Tourette’s Syndrome. I think everyone should watch that as people assume it’s just the swearing thing, but once you see people affected with it, you see it affects their whole life, not just that little part. 9:00 PM CT ABC
