Great Backstage Moments Happened On "Idol Gives Back"

There's always something interesting going on behind-the-scenes at "American Idol," and Wednesday night's show "Idol Gives Back" also had a lot of great backstage moments.

When Reese Witherspoon took the stage to introduce her clip, the crowd went crazy. Before she could continue, stage manager Debbie McVickers rushed out and asked the star to start over because of a technical glitch. Witherspoon told the audience to pretend they hadn't seen her and then left the stage. When she came out a few moments later the crowd went even crazier than before.

Season five contestant Elliott Yamin was swarmed by adoring fans who wanted autographs. The shaggy-haired singer obliged every fan, even signing the arms of two young girls who came unprepared to get his autograph.

The "American Idol" contestants were answering the phones and taking pledges and at one point stage manager McVickers called former contestant Danny Noriega out of the audience and up to the phone that Brooke White was manning. Apparently the fan Brooke was talking to really wanted to talk to Danny, and McVickers obliged.
