Nothing like a public womanizer getting critcized by a closeted queen

It sounds like Simon is daring Howard to do it.

I know that I heard Howard doing the basic premise of American Idol ten years, at least, before Idol was ever on the air.

He would bring in 3 people connected to the music business and have them evaluate losers who thought they had talent.

Stern is not an idiot....he is a business man....wake up. He would not go on AI and call someone a crack hour! Also Stern has been a program director, run radio stations and spun records and music for years...he is a study of music... But most people just live my soundbites . Now would he be good on AI...I have no idea.. But if you judge him on his music knowledge he has more than Ellen (who I like) and Paula (who i liked). But it really doesn't matter....AI singers are no better than made up BOYBANDs. Very few do anything in music...some...but very few..

Stern and Russian skater Plushenko are doppelgangers with different hair do's.

I can see Howard judging now in my mind....to a good looking female idol contestant..."I am not sure about your talent...could you come and sit of my lap for a few minutes while I decide?"

Exactly a true pedophile if I ever saw one.

You're right. Stern's much better than that show and all of it's short-bus-special fans deserve. There's a line in the sand, America. On one side you have the people who will overpopulate the earth and create a world predicted in Mike Judge's prophetic Idiocracy. On the other side you have people that do not watch American Idol. Yes, why go out to the big bad world to a karaoke night and socialize with other humans when we can all be hermits and watch other people perform karaoke from the comfort and safety of our own couch?

Stern judges porn stars and body parts, and belittles crackheads, and others less fortunate individuals. He has no business being on this show to judge talent.

Thank you he is a loser!

The day Stern becomes a judge is the day the show dies.

The day that show first aired was the day America died.

I hope AI keeps talking about replacing Simon with Stern - until Simon decides he'd better not leave afterall.

For the past several years Simon has managed to be a judge on Idol, a judge on Britain's Got Talent, AND have his own show "X Factor" on in England. So why, if he's starting "X Factor" here in the U.S. now.. Why can't he continue to judge Idol too?
