Idol Gives Back Bono, Brad, Reese

American Idol may taketh away, at least in terms of its rapidly dwindling pool of contestants, but it's also gearing up to giveth back, with more than a little help from its star-studded friends.

Fox has unveiled the first batch of A-list supporters to have signed on to appear in the show's second annual "Idol Gives Back" special this spring, which will once again raise awareness and funds for a slew of U.S. and international charities.

Brad Pitt, Reese Witherspoon and Super Bowl brothers Peyton and Eli Manning are among the non-performers scheduled to appear on next month's two-hour special, while Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, John Legend and Snoop Dogg are set to represent the more musically minded of big-hearted stars.

Of course, no star-studded humanitarian effort would be complete without a requisite appearance from Bono, who is also on board for the charity special.
