What’s Hot On TV Tonight – Idols Take On Rolling Stones
I’m not holding my breath or anything, but I think it would be incredibly cool if the Rolling Stones made appearances tonight coaching the Idols through their songs. Some of the Idols clearly have an easier path to the Stones music, but sometimes that can be the best surprise, for someone unexpected to come out and wow us.

What’s Hot On TV Tonight - Daughtry, No Doubt, and Paula Perform!

American Idol will definitely be hot tonight. First, we’ll have performances from Daughtry, who was eliminated in final four surprisingly during his season, No Doubt, and Paula Abdul, who is promoting a new single. Either way, even if she’s good, I think Paula will get flak from everyone for that bold move. Then we’ll see someone voted out, and after last week, I wouldn’t be surprised by anything, but I think Adam Lambert is the only safe one, feeling his fans will keep him well-protected this week.
1. Regis and Kelly. Telecast from Miami Beach, today’s guests are Rob Lowe, the Marlins Manatees, and Matt Giraud, last seen on Ellen on Monday. He was amazing on there, will he do the same today for Reeg and Kelly? Syndicated, check local listings.

4. You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. It’s not a bad movie and has some laughs, but it gets a little insulting at times. Yet, it has a good message if you really look for it. 1:55 PM CT Starz
What’s Hot On TV Tonight - 2/7 = 28.5%

After the big Save on Matt Giraud last week, we’re going to lose two on American Idol tonight. It didn’t seem like a lot when there were 13 and we first heard about the Save, but at 7 left, it’s a lot. 2 out of 7 is 28%%, so we’ll be losing more than a quarter of our finalists tonight. Applying the math to it makes it a little different doesn’t it? I think Lil has to be one of the two, and the other person will be someone that has been in the bottom three before, meaning Matt, Anoop, or Allison. If I was a betting woman, which I’m not because I always lose, I’d bet on Anoop and Lil.
