A one-hour holiday special, "American Idol: Christmas Songs," is being put together to air at the end of November. Not surprisingly, the special is tied to the CD "American Idol - The Great Holiday Classics," due in stores today. Airing two days before Thanksgiving, the TV special will feature past "American Idol" winners Kelly Clarkson and Ruben Studdard, along with runners-up Justin Guarini and Clay Aiken and other former contestants, singing carols and other holiday favorites. None of the show's popular judges - Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson - are slated to appear, nor is host Ryan Seacrest. The show gives Fox another chance to recapture some of the ratings glory of "Idol," whose face-off between Studdard and Aiken capped the network's No. 1 finish for the May sweeps. But the "Idol" crew will face stiff musical competition that night, Nov. 25, with NBC expected to air specials starring Shania Twain and Justin Timberlake. |
