Fantasia Thursday

FOX has announced season 3 winner Fantasia will perform on the show this Thursday and reportedly will announce that she’ll be joining the cast of Oprah Winfrey’s “The Color Purple” on Broadway.

Settle down, Daughtry fans. Nigel's apparently trying to work something out where he and other former idols will appear sometime this season as well.

We've also learned from reliable sources that Jennifer Lopez is scheduled to perform on “American Idol” on April 11, and very strong rumors suggest that Gwen Stefani is slated to perform on “Idol” on March 28.
