ABC picked up American Idol for a 16th season this week and they are having a problem finding people from the Fox version to join their show.
The Voice announced in the last 2 days that they hired Oscar winner and American Idol season 3 contestant Jennifer Hudson and the original American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson as coaches for their upcoming seasons. That means those are two alumni that they cannot hire for Idol.
What about their most famous and loved judge Simon Cowell? He told Extra they asked him, but he told them “no”. They he explained why, “I have no interest. My memories are when we first started. It was a different time with Randy [Jackson], Ryan [Seacrest] and Paula [Abdul]. You can’t recreate that.” He also revealed to Terri Seymour that he left the show for a reason and has not regrets for doing so.
What about host Ryan Seacrest? He told Extra, “I would love to do it, but I got this job right now.” Of course that job is Live with Kelly and Ryan. My theory is he wants his old salary and ABC doesn’t want to pay him twice. Therefore, money not time is ABC’s biggest problem with him signing on for the reboot.
Who can Idol get? I am sure they can Randy Jackson, because what else is that dog doing? When it comes to the other possible Judges, I am sure they can get William Hung and Sanjaya Malakar, That is if they can find them.
Granted after having said all of this, I think that American Idol should start completely over. New faces would be a good thing.
Simon Cowell loves to show off his chest by wearing his shirt half unbuttoned and that could be a problem for him when it comes to being on camera. The makeup department of America’s Got Talent made his face look good for air, but they didn’t have the talent to do the same for his chest. His top half is fair, but his bottom half is tan.
Thankfully, Heidi Klum left her mark on his face to distract our eyes from the mismatched skin.
Was it enough to help move on to the next round or do you think he needs an X?

So yesterday, I am sitting down checking my Twitter feed when I see Nick Cannon and Heidi Klum Live Tweeting about an act on America’s Got Talent and saying, “Not the nipples! Not the nipples!” As soon as I saw that, I knew I had to see what the hell they were Tweeting about.
They were talking about The Baron of the Universe who lifts heavy things with the assistance of medal rings from different parts of his body. Like his the middle of his nose, his eyelids and his nipples. The last one was too much for the Klum and Mel B who turned around. Simon Cowell moved his hands from covering his eyes to his nipples back to eyes and finally over his nipples again. We know how much he loves those things, so this was really painful for him. Then there was Howie Mandel who watched it without a problem.
Finally, there is us the audience, both at home and at the show, who were doing the same moves as the King of Mean. In fact, it is tough for me to type this because my hands are still on my nipples. Which is probably why, Cowell immediately declared, “My nipples hurt,” as soon as the act ended.
So is the Baron of the Universe moving on? Believe it or not, he is. I will skip that episode when it airs.
For years we have wondered if Opposites Attract when it comes to American Idol’s Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, and now she Straight Up answered if she was ever in love with him. The singer shared 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me to Us Weekly and #17 is, “I have never been in love with Simon Cowell.” Which is kind of a disappointment because you know their sex tape would the hottest thing ever. Could you imagine the passion she would have with that Cold Hearted Snake? It would be Crazy Cool.
Some of the most exciting things to watch on competition shows like American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The X Factor are the auditions, but that is because they are edited down. If you are there Judging them all day, I guess they can get kind of boring. At least that is what Simon Cowell admitted to Us Weekly when he revealed 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me. He said, “My pre-show ritual is breathing in oxygen through a bottle. I fall asleep sometimes because I get so bored in auditions, so I do oxygen to wake me up.” I guess there are only so many times you can hear the same song over and over and over again.
On that note, he also came clean on something I agree with him about. He said, “There were loads of times when I thought the wrong person won on American Idol.” I am guessing that he is referring to Ruben Studdard and Taylor Hicks, who else do you think he is talking about?
The 25 Things weren’t only about his shows, he also shared with Us that he likes baths, hates clowns and plans on cloning his dogs. Let’s pray that there is a clown act on America’s Got Talent this season. Not only will that keep him, it will also give him nightmares if he accidentally falls asleep.
