"I can't say this is true yet, cause I don't know. Next year they asked me to possibly be the judge on 'American Idol.'"

Do you want Bret Michaels to replace Simon Cowell?

Could he get anymore vague and self-serving. Was this reality or a drug-induced hallucination during his hospital stay?; 5/30/10, 12:06 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Isn't there another Brit with music industry know how?

The next judge will inevitably be compared to Simon anyway.; 5/30/10, 12:16 PM

Unknown said...: Oh how fitting that would be.

American's love of redemptive stories and celebrity take an obscene rocker from the annals of VH1's Rock of Love, through a near death experience chronicled in People magazine and on Oprah, to be a judge in the kingdom of American popular culture where we choose our next Idol.

That would be hysterically funny, and amazing for all the wrong reasons.; 5/30/10, 12:55 PM
Xmas said...: Is he going to survive until next year? Seriously, randomly bleeding brain is a sign that you really need to wrap things up and not take on any new commitments.

Find some Jesus, or a girl to love, pull that "7 pounds" shit and find the people whose life you want to make better as a result of your death. Do not go and judge American Idol.; 5/30/10, 1:17 PM
Wince said...: No.

Not just because of his amply demonstrated bad sense of taste within his own stunted genre, but the ridiculously garish head wear he'd parade weekly to mask his balding pate.

At least I could picture Simon saying that.; 5/30/10, 1:26 PM
michaele said...: Based on the persona he presented on Celebrity Apprentice, it seems like he'd be more a male Paula Abdul...a little incoherent and not confrontational. I thought Katy Perry who was a guest judge during the auditions was blunt and acerbic but they probably need to pick a man.; 5/30/10, 1:50 PM
George Grady said...: He used to judge "Nashville Star". NTTAWWT.; 5/30/10, 2:09 PM
Trooper York said...: He is just coasting on his popularity and putting out trial ballons left and right.

The next judge will be either Piers Morgan or Tommy Mottola.; 5/30/10, 2:10 PM
Trooper York said...: I just wish they would dump Kara.

If they replace her with Katy Perry and add Piers they will have the formula back.

Oh and dump Ellen and go back to three judges.; 5/30/10, 2:11 PM
opfor311 said...: No. But it could be fun having Ozzie Osborne take Simon's place. He may not be quite as acerbic as Simon Cowell, but no one could understand anything he said, so how would we know?; 5/30/10, 2:21 PM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: Who is Bret Michaels?

Or more to the point. Who cares?; 5/30/10, 2:36 PM
The Crack Emcee said...: Shit, I don't even want American Idol.; 5/30/10, 5:36 PM
Revenant said...: Ok, now. I was willing to leave American Idol alone when it was just providing innocent entertainment for middle America. But if that show re-launches Bret Michaels' career, I'm really going to be pissed.

TV ratings are to be used responsibly, American Idol!; 5/30/10, 6:42 PM

Penny said...: Simon created this mess of a success.

No doubt he has a new housekeeper in mind.; 5/31/10, 3:13 AM
A.W. said...: Ugh, no. first off, he will give the other judges a disease. maybe a few.

Second, he would be a better replacement for paula, than simon. One bad pop star from the 80's for another.; 5/31/10, 7:54 AM
