, Life After ‘Idol’ Last season’s winner Kris Allen returns to ‘American Idol’ tonight, not only to perform, but also to highlight his recent trip to earthquake-ravaged Haiti as part of the show’s charity campaign ‘Idol Gives Back.’ Allen traveled to help with the relief effort for the country, which suffered a 7.0 magnitude quake last month. He distributed supplies, cleared rubble and played ‘Amazing Grace’ on his guitar in a tent for mothers and their children. ‘Idol’ will show footage from the trip tonight and ask viewers to donate funds during the broadcast.

If those season 9-ers headed to the Top 12 need a little inspiration this week, it’ll come in the form of season 8 winner Kris Allen and fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta . Both will perform on Thursday’s ‘Idol’ results show, according to EW.com. Iraheta will perform her new single, the tender ballad ‘Scars,’ off her debut album, ‘Just Like You.’ Meanwhile, Thursday’s show, during which four contestants — two male and two female — will be booted, will also highlight Allen’s recent fund-raising trip to Haiti as part of the ‘Idol Gives Back’ campaign.

, Life After ‘Idol’ In the sparkly line that stretched around the block for the Idols, Rock My Town! concert at New York City’s intimate Highline Ballroom, dedicated “Glamberts” — some of whom had begun lining up that morning, or driven 11 hours to be there — discussed whether their patron saint Adam Lambert would close the show, despite Kris Allen ‘s having won the title of ‘American Idol.’ Kris Allen fans, on the other hand, expressed concerns (which ultimately proved legitimate) that the prominent turnout would thin after Lambert’s and last season’s fourth-place finisher Allison Iraheta’ s sets. But those who left early, whatever their reasons, missed the point of having all three Idols at one show. The trio of Kris Allen, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert, dubbed “Kradison” by fans, performed together Friday night as part of the exclusive Ryan Seacrest-sponsored event for the first time since the season 8 American Idols Live! summer tour ended

There are persistent rumors Simon Cowell will depart the show, for example, to focus on launching ‘The X Factor’ to America, and much speculation about Paula Abdul ‘s replacement, Ellen DeGeneres , and her relationship with Cowell.
