Robbie Carrico, 26, the former boybander who dated Britney Spears, was one of four contestants voted off American Idol last night.

Simon Cowell said the aspiring rocker’s act “just never ever felt real.”

Also sent home?

Alaina Whitaker, 16, who cried, “This is so embarrassing!” as she sobbed on stage in the arms of Ryan Seacrest.

Single dad Jason Yeager, 28, got the boot after Cowell told him he didn’t “stand out in the crowd.” And 17-year-old Alexandrea Lushington lost her shot at stardom after belting out Chicago’s “If You Leave Me Now.” (Judges told her the tune was too old for her.)

It wasn’t all bad news on last night’s show: Seacrest revealed that Brad Pitt, Miley Cyrus and Reese Witherspoon are among the A-listers taking part in their annual charity special Idols Give Back , airing April 9.

Last year’s charity episode raised over $75 million to help fight poverty in Africa and the U.S. and featured Teri Hatcher, Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna.
