Daniel Radcliffe and Helena Bonham Carter, from the Harry Potter movies, as well as other well known actors will appear (some via video) on a special broadcast of the show titled American Idol Gives Back
.
Appearing with Dan and Helena will be Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Forest Whitaker, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Bono and Rowan Atkinson, to name a few.
According to the web site:
The show will benefit CPEF is a charitable U.S. organization established to raise money and awareness to help combat extreme poverty in the US and throughout the world, particularly in Africa.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Tuesday, April 10th, internet only, log-on to ticketmaster.com. By the way, proceeds from the ticket sales will go to the charity.
The show will air on Tuesday, April 24th and Wednesday, April 25th (please check your local listings). At this time we don't know what dates Dan will be on the show.
Thanks to Belle for the tip.
UPDATE: Thanks to DR.co.uk for letting us know that Dan's appearance will in fact be via video, as previously pointed out and the segement with Dan will not be "exclusive" to American Idol. We will update with more when we can.

Actually according to reports from those who've seen "Equus" Dan is a reasonably good singer (has to sing a few jingles in the opening scene)!

Oh my, I have never been a fan of this show, but I am really glad that the producers are branching to tackle such a massive feat. I'm proud of them, even if it is just for publicity. A lot of good should still come from it. I will watch this episode, can't miss Daniel you know.

Actually, the fact is Dan sings very well. If you have seen Equus, he sings a little at the beginning and you can hear he has a very good voice.
Anyway, it's really nice of them to help these organitations, because the video they recorded it's not for this show, it's to help these charities.

Okay, that really took me a while to figure out who Helena Bonham was. Bellatrix, I guess. That would be fun to watch.

I was so excited when I heard this last night on American Idol, but now I'm disappointed to find out it'll only be a video feed. Oh well.

I think some people are not understanding what this is about. Dan has recorded a commercial to help the charity, he has not done it for American Idol or other show. The commercial will be aired in many tv channels, not only that show, and not only USA.
This show will just air the video like many others that would want to help the proyect will do.
And if you go to see Equus, you'll know Dan has a very good voice and sings very well, like even the critics have pointed out. :)

Glad to see them involved with another charity. I think it's important for people in the spotlight so to speak to set an example of giving back to the community around them.
