Justin Guarini To Be On ‘New Moon’ Soundtrack?

Long before rumors emerged that Kelly Clarkson may have a song on the “New Moon” soundtrack, fellow “American Idol” alum and “From Justin to Kelly” co-star Justin Guarini was launching a campaign to get his song “I Can’t Live” on the album for “Twilight” sequel.

Believe it or not, Guarini insists that he’s not just trying to bank on the success of the franchise. He says it’s because he’s a big “Twilight” fan. “I’m a fan of the books,” Guarini told MTV News. “At the time I went in to write this song, the two other writers were talking about the books, and we got into a conversation about it.
