Justin Timberlake Latest Star To Be Considered For Simon's Replacement On Idol
Posted on Tue Jul 27, 2010 10:17 AM PDT
Justin Timberlake's name has been added to a long list of possible seat-fillers to take over the spot left vacant by Simon Cowell for the next season of American Idol.
Producers have been pursuing JT as well as musicians Elton John, Harry Connick, Jr., and Chris Isaak to add some musical expertise to the panel which currently consists of Randy Jackson, Ellen Degeneres and Kara DioGuardi.
Although there's been much said about finding a replacement for Simon, the entire panel could be replaced with new judges, says THR.
Fox is trying to bring back former Idol and current So You Think You Can Dance executive producer Nigel Lythgoe to try to revive the show that's seen its ratings slip in recent years. Lythgoe has previously stated that he'd replace ALL the judges if it were up to him.
Course, Ellen's got a mult-year contract and Randy's got one more left on his, so that might not be realistic. But Lythgoe's at least already got a firm idea of who he'd like to see on the panel: Elton John, Usher and Paula Abdul.
Now THAT I'd tune in for!

he head was stuck in REVOLVING DOORS, folks?
Yeah y not Justin Bieber , Usher would
be good too. Or get 5 real choreographers to do the job.. or why
not have Ryan's girlfriend do it too
since she isn't doing too well ...
PAULA HAS HER OWN SHOW SO SHE WON'T BE BACK EITHER..SO CANCEL THE SHOW.. NEW
TITLE THE RUNNER UP WINS EVERY TIME..
SCREW THE WINNER NO ONE NEEDS THEM..
It would be the second best decision he ever made. The first was dumping that hillbilly trash off at the curb.
Harry would be AWESOME! If they got rid of Ellen I might actually watch the show again.
Why would replacing ALL of the judges bring back ratings? Don't they know that the ONLY way to get the numbers up would be to bring back the ORIGINAL Dream Team of Simon, Paula, and Randy? The show is kaput without Simon, but a panel of all new judges, particularly stunt cast celebs (Justin Timberlake? They're joking, right?), would be like crashing into a stone wall after hitting an iceberg.
