Celine Dion is among a list of stars appearing this week on “American Idol.”

“Idol Gives Back” week is upon us. The list of celebrities — singers, actors and others — who will stop by at either the performance show and/or the results show include Sacha Baron Cohen, Michael Bublé, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, “Il Divo,” Josh Groban, Annie Lennox, Pink and Gwen Stefani.

In case you forgot, voting Tuesday night is how you can help. Corporate sponsors will make a donation to Charity Projects Entertainment Fund for each phone vote cast. The event is being sponsored to raise awareness and a little cash for the poor children in the United States and Africa.

You also can make a donation online at americanidol.com.
