American Idol has booted Sanjaya Malakar. Now there are reports that the bald pop tart Britney Spears is set to don a wig and perhaps perform a duet with the dumped Idol. While that may or may not happen an even more disturbing duet has emerged. According to the newsroom at TMZ.Com, American Idol will raise the dead on Wednesday and feature a performance with Celine Dion and...Elvis Presley. Uh- wait what?
This is a bit scary and I'd like to believe it will be interesting but it sound so cheesy and just wrong. Still apparently it is set to go forward.

| American Idol: Forget Britney Spears & Sanjaya: Celine & Elvis Duet? |
The report: While American Idol teased their "Idol Gives Back" charity benefit by revealing that "two of the biggest stars in musical history come together," sources at last week's taping tell TMZ that Celine sang Elvis Presley's hit, "If I Can Dream" -- with an Elvis impersonator! Ugh!
But, according to the report the impersonator was just used as a stand-in and what you will actually see when the show airs is Celine singing with a virtual Elvis -- in the vein of Natalie Cole and Nat King Cole's "Unforgettable." Oh the humanity!
***
At the taping, the remaining "Idol" wannabes also sang with Celine and Elvis, but as backup in the choir. Hallelujah! Elvis died nearly thirty years ago, while Celine has been singing at Caesars Palace in Vegas for the last four.
