Howard Stern May Replace Simon Cowell On Idol

LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Sources say that shock jock Howard Stern may be the first in line to replace Simon Cowell when the Brit bad boy leaves American Idol at the end of this season.
This is either the best idea or the worst idea ever.
An Idol insider tells Page Six that Stern, Sirius XM Radio deal expires next January, is their first choice to fill the role.
"They know he would be great TV and would clash with the other judges such as Ellen DeGeneres and the contestants," says the source. "Idol will do what it takes to sign him."
But the insider also notes that Stern may not be ready to leave radio -- not to mention New York -- to travel around the country for auditions and spend several months out of the year in Los Angeles. Plus, Idol bosses may not be able to compete with a Sirius XM offer, should it come in. (Simon makes $50 mil a year, while Howard takes in double that.)
"I was approached by a major TV network to take over a TV show and leave here and do that next year -- and I did turn it down," said Stern on a recent radio show. "I'm not even sure if I want to be working. I'm waiting to see what happens."
his ugly face is meant for radio. If he goes there, its an instant show killer.
I have faithfully watched Idol since season one. Howard Stern comes on. I will not watch EVER. EVER EVER.
I would totally watch Howard...he's as qualified as Ellen.
I have NEVER watched American Idol but if Howard was on... I would start!
Bababooey Bababooey Bababooey!!!
If he's on there the show will be cancelled soon after. He's discusting and wouldn't comment on the voices,just the bodies of the girls.
My husband and I have been faithful watchers of Idol. I always vote for my favorite too! If Howard Stern takes over for Simon we will never ever watch again. He's a show stopper. (meaning canceled)
I really enjoy AI, but if Howard Stern takes Simon's place, I'm sure I can live without it. I'll be long gone.
What a scumbag. That would definately
be the demise of the show. His only
talent is trash!!!
I love Howard Stern but I have to agree - he would kill the Idol show. I enjoy both the way they are now...
Stern does not qualify for the show and whoever thought of him must be a cool-aid drinker. Stern is better off just sticking to the dirt on his radio show.
Please please NO HOWARD STERN! It would be a horrible death for Idol!
i will never watch idolagain.. if this piece of trash set foot on idol! what is fox thinking? i rather see gene simmon from kiss replace simon
I have to disagree. I've been watching AI since season 1 and it needs something new. If it werent for Simon I would have tuned out long ago. If Simon's replacement is not as honest with the contestants then the show is dead. I think Howard deliver that. He can be brutally honest.
He was inappropriate for regular TV. Who in the world thinks he would keep his comments in check for prime time TV? It would be a huge disservice to the viewing public and to the contestants for his foul mouth to be "bleeped" throughout the entire show. It would be a deal buster!!
Our family watches AI together. If Stern is even a guest on there we would no longer watch it
My brother suggested I might like this blog. He was entirely right. This post truly made my day. You can not imagine simply how much time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
I will recommend not to wait until you get enough amount of money to order all you need! You should get the credit loans or auto loan and feel yourself free
While this issue can be very tough for most people, my opinion is that there has to be a middle or common ground that we all can find. I do appreciate that you've added relevant and rational commentary here though. Very much thanks to you!
In these days of austerity in addition to relative panic about running into debt, lots of people balk contrary to the idea of utilizing a credit card to make acquisition of merchandise and also pay for a trip, preferring, instead to rely on the particular tried plus trusted means of making repayment - raw cash. However, if you possess the cash available to make the purchase in full, then, paradoxically, that is the best time to use the credit cards for several reasons.
Thanks for your post here. One thing I would like to say is the fact most professional career fields consider the Bachelors Degree like thejust like the entry level standard for an online college diploma. Whilst Associate Certifications are a great way to get started on, completing your own Bachelors opens up many doorways to various employment goodies, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Course Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions present Online types of their qualifications but normally for a substantially higher cost than the firms that specialize in online course programs.
Thanks for discussing your ideas here. The other element is that whenever a problem comes up with a computer system motherboard, people today should not have some risk of repairing the item themselves because if it is not done correctly it can lead to irreparable damage to all the laptop. In most cases, it is safe to approach your dealer of the laptop for your repair of the motherboard. They have technicians who definitely have an know-how in dealing with mobile computer motherboard troubles and can carry out the right prognosis and perform repairs.
