Time to catch up on some random Idol news … * “We Are the World — 25 for Haiti” will premiere during tonight’s coverage of the Vancouver Winter Olympics (7:30 p.m., NBC). The song was recorded following the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon. Jordin Sparks is one of 25 performers featured in the video for…
The quartet that had dubbed themselves Three Men and a Baby was on stage singing Alicia Keys’ “No One” on American Idol’s group night. A pretty girl with dark hair stepped forward with the mic and sang a few notes, sounding like anything but the baby of the group. I know my ears perked up….
He’s been featured in both Hollywood Week episodes. Partly because of his singing. Partly because his wife was going into labor during Hollywood Week.

Audrianna Vargas This 18-year-old from Sioux Falls, S.D., says the first time anyone heard her sing publicly was at a solo competition in Davenport, Iowa. She finished first out of 30 contestants.
