George Michael. SURPRISE!

"Idol" Pips Out "Iron Man"

Posted May 21st 2008 2:10PM by TMZ Staff

George Michael is performing on tonight's "Idol" finale, but he ain't "the biggest star in the world" that Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe has been touting -- our spies tell us, it's "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr.

TMZ moles say the finale will include a virtual hologram of Gladys Knight singing "Midnight Train to Georgia" with Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Downey Jr. singing backup as the Pips. Holy Nat King Cole! "Idol" did this last season when Celine Dion sang along side a virtual undead Elvis. For the record, Gladys Knight is still alive.

We're told the Jonas Brothers, ZZ Top, Seal, Bryan Adams, One Republic, Jordin Sparks and Carrie Underwood will also perform before David Archuleta (or possibly maybe, but not likely, Cook) is crowned the winner.

Idiots.

My Wii Fit was delivered today, so I'll be playing with that and dvring this trainwreck.  lol.

 

According to this... Michael Jackson was supposed to perform...

 

but it's from a tabloid, so who knows....

 

 

 

 

MICHAEL Jackson pulled out of a huge TV comeback �?with stagefright.

Jacko, 49, was to sing live on the final of American Idol in front of a TV audience of 27 million.

But 24 hours before the show in Los Angeles he bottled out, saying: “I can’t do it. Everyone will hate me.�?

A source said: “This was his big chance but he got stage-fright.�?

Spice Girls guru Simon Fuller is helping Jacko with his comeback, say insiders.
