One of Paula Abdul 's first post-"American Idol" gigs will be hosting the Sept. 17 "VH1 Divas" concert taking place at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, NY, according to a press release.
The concert, which will air live on VH1, will feature performances by Jordin Sparks , Adele , Kelly Clarkson , Leona Lewis and Miley Cyrus . Additional performers, presenters and special guests are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
In addition to the upcoming concert, nearly 50 past "Divas" performances--featuring Diana Ross, Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston among others--are now available at VH1.com. The network also is encouraging fans to submit a "Diva Stories" text or video testimonial to the site telling the world how their favorite diva has influenced their lives. Select testimonials may be featured online and on-air leading up to this year's live telecast.
VH1.com also will feature live blogging coverage Sept. 17 leading up to and during the concert.
