‘Idol’ Rejects — We’re Going on Tour … For Charity!
Three ex-contestants from this season’s “ American Idol ” are going rogue — in fact, TMZ has learned, they’re kicking off a 5-city tour next month … and 95% of the proceeds are going to a very special cause. Multiple sources tell TMZ, former “Idol” contestants Chris Medina , Rob Bolin and Tim Halperin are hitting the road on a 5-city tour, spanning 4 states — starting off in Toledo and ending in Chicago — and the majority of the profits will go to benefit Medina’s disabled fiancée. According to sources, 95% of the money generated by the tour will be set aside for the Juliana Recovery Fund — a charity set up to cover medical expenses for Medina’s fiancée Juliana … who suffered severe brain damage after a horrific car accident in 2009. FYI — the concert is not affiliated with “A.I.” … but it obviously couldn’t have happened without it.
