Oprah Winfrey will have a 12 days of gifting treat, but Ryan Seacrest is proposing something a little more altruistic.
The "American Idol" host wants us to take part in 12 days of giving. Basically, it's all about helping out a charitable cause in some way for 12 days straight, beginning Tuesday, Dec. 1, which happens to be World AIDS Day.
Besides spreading the word via Twitter and Facebook, what does Seacrest expect us to do? Buy a handcrafted beverage from Starbucks, clothes from the Gap, some hardware from Dell and something from Bugaboo. Portions of the sales from these (Red) partners will go to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa.

In contrast, Oprah Winfrey's 12 days consist of a limited number of her lucky viewers receiving a total of 46 of Oprah's favorite gifts over 12 days.

American Idol named its Top 12 last night, with four singers coming oh-so-close but ultimately falling just a bit short. Danny Noriega, Asiah Epperson, Luke Menard and Kady Malloy were all sent home during Thursday's American Idol Results Show. None of the eliminations were much of a surprise and it's safe to say that, even if any of these four had made the Top 12, none of them had any sort of chance at winning the entire thing. That being said, I felt that both Danny and Kady have the potential to be minor stars in their own right. Those two were hurt by poor song choices and the inability to find their niche quickly enough. Asiah has a good voice, but it's nothing special. Luke, I'm sad to say, probably won't be heard from again. He's a good guy, though. All four eliminated singers took questions during a series of conference calls earlier today,...

It was a tad bit anti-climactic tonight on American idol. The Top 12 is now set, and it's a top-heavy group. There are six singers who I can say, with the utmost confidence, will be in the top 8. There's a group of three or four who will most likely be eliminated over the next month, and because of this, I expect the rest of American Idol's March to be rather plodding. Season 6 runner-up Blake Lewis showed up tonight to show the contestants that, even if they don't have the greatest singing voice, creativity, personality and a great stage presence can take you a long ways.
Of the four singers eliminated tonight on American Idol, only one was a surprise, but it was a mild one and may have only been a surprise to me. These were the four American Idol hopefuls who will almost certainly, in the immortal words of Iron Mike Tyson,...

Enjoy tonight's results show, American Idol fans. Seriously, in a couple weeks you'll look back on tonight with fond memories. Starting next week, American Idol's Results Shows will go from sending four singers home to only sending one. From the Top 12 on, it's one at a time. One elimination in one hour. That means an incredible amount of filler, lots of guest performers you don't care about, and group songs we can all do without. Comparatively, tonight will be a breeze. I figure that the four eliminated singers will come from this large pool: Chikezie Eze, Luke Menard, David Hernandez, Danny Noriega, Kady Malloy, Asiah Epperson, Kristy Lee Cook and Amanda Overmyer. That's right – half of the top 16 appear to be in danger of elimination. It's wide open. I'll be here throughout the hour, giving live updates as Ryan Seacrest ruthlessly, without mercy, kicks four singers to the curb.
