Oh God please let this happen. Page Six‘s scoop is that American Idol‘s producers want to replace the almost-outta here Simon Cowell with the other King of All Media. No, not Rupert Murdoch. Howard Stern. His contract with Sirius radio is up next year. The company has never been profitable, and is unlikely to again offer Howard a 500 million dollar contract. American Idol, which had made Simon Cowell the richest man on TV, might be able to come close.
With the replacement of Paula Abdul by Ellen DeGeneres and the possible replacement of Simon by Howard, we’re almost halfway to a judge’s table that knows nothing about music. All we have to do now is replace Randy Jackson with the black guy who hosts Nova and Kara DioGuardi with a sack of potatoes.
F Jackie.
