Justin Guarini is the new co-host of TV Guide Channel's Idol Tonight. You remember him, right? He's the lovable guy with the cute curls that sometimes stray into Sideshow Bob territory, who was no match for Kelly Clarkson during the finals of the first season of American Idol. Guarini is currently working on this third album, which he describes as "soul-funk" and he has a role in an indie film.

He'll share hosting duties with season three Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell and WB's Popstar winner Rosanna Tavarez. TV Guide has renewed Idol Tonight for a second season, which starts airing in March once the contestants are narrowed down to twelve people.

I've caught Idol Tonight a few times and I only find the season one retrospectives to be interesting because that's when the contestants really didn't know what they were in for. Plus, Kelly Clarkson without make-up!

American Idol is so big, it's getting its own preshow. Sorry, Joel. Beginning tonight, TV Guide Channel will air a live preshow for one hour leading up to FOX's broadcast of Idol. Called Idol Tonight, it will air before each episode of American Idol for the rest of this season. The show is obviously condoned by FOX or the company that produces Idol, because it will have exclusive interviews with Idol rejects, behind-the-scenes video, plus interviews with vocal coaches and industry folk.

By now you probably recognize the blonde-haired girl in the photo. It's Kimberly Caldwell, American Idol finalist from season two. She'll be hosting, along with British Popstars contestant Rosanna Tavarez. What? No Dunkelman?
