This morning we heard a completely unsubstantiated but nonetheless entertaining rumor: Simon Cowell is the only current judge returning for next year’s season of American Idol and he will be joined by Britney Spears on the judging panel. The ludicrousness of this suggestion got us thinking about what other moronic/entertaining replacements for Paula and Randy we could think of. Courtney Love came to mind, but someone else already thought of that one.

Imagine Whitney Houston and Brittany on the same panel with Simon. It’d be classic.

Whitney Houston definitely needs to do this. I can see her asking all the contestants to sit on her lap every time Simon tells them they suck and saying “It’s ok baby, mama says it’s gonna be all right!”

George W. Bush and Hillary Clinton, both of whom will need a new gig in a year.

What does Britney know about talent, other than she doesn’t have any?
ray bob | 6/6/2007, 5:06 pm EST
she could be a good judge of hair.
dylan | 6/6/2007, 5:25 pm EST
how about a rocker like say maybe ozzy or steven tyler and then some country chick like maybe martina mcbride so theyll have pop country and rock on the judge panel and not just talentless pop stars

I wanna see Axl Rose and Christina Aguilera
Dr. Love | 6/6/2007, 5:51 pm EST
Replace Paula with Ozzy. You can’t understand a thing either one says. Ozzy next to Simon? Priceless!

How about Janet Jackson (now that her ex-choreographer is leaving) and Carlos Santana? Or….Dr. Dre and Natalie Imbruglia? Point being…diverse, ability to recognize ‘talent’, universal appeal and balance. AND PLEASE don’t have ‘guest judges’. No vested interest there!
MusicalJenius | 6/6/2007, 6:00 pm EST
Phil Spector & Cyndi Lauper

Why can’t we just not replace them ad take this crap off the air?
jill hives | 6/6/2007, 7:16 pm EST
tom waits and jonathan richman
Mary Newlon | 6/6/2007, 9:06 pm EST
Real professionals would be
nice…..some who would add
class and real successful
experience to the “bench”.
Some who would have the res-
pect of most of the listening
audience. These three are
really not good….Mary Newlon
Joey Edizel | 6/6/2007, 9:31 pm EST
Tunde Adebimpe, Tom Waits, and Debbie Harry.
Shakezula | 6/6/2007, 11:17 pm EST
Robert Pollard is actually a GREAT suggestion. Realistically, Whitney Houston might not be too bad. I also think Mike Love – just to throw ‘em a curveball.
Mike | 6/7/2007, 12:09 am EST
Rob Zombie and Snoop Dogg (Snoop has to be high at all times)
or
DJ Paul and Juicy J from Three 6 Mafia
or
Dean and Gene Ween
or
Bjork and Josh Homme
or
Ape and Phil

Simon Cowell, Britney Spears and Scott Stapp.
C’mon, tell me you wouldn’t tune in to watch those three tell contestants they suck.
Kyle | 6/7/2007, 11:07 am EST
I thought LuLu was a great guest judge this season! If Paula was replaced I think she’d be perfect! However crazy Paula gets, I’d still like her to stay around for the sake of keeping this winning formula the same.

Whoever it is, they’d better be deaf and blind to sit through all those third-rate lounge acts (and I’m talking about the finalists)…

these shows are only at their best when they show the funny parts. otherwise it’s a waste of time
Grasshopper | 6/8/2007, 7:37 am EST
Now what I´d like to see is Paula Abdul, Ozzy and Keith Richards together; then we could have an audience contest each week, guessing what the hell they actually said…
nate | 6/30/2007, 4:11 pm EST
I think Paula Abdul was never a good fit for American Idol in the first place! She’s had only 6 #1’s and she can’t sing at all. She just knew how to dance, so that’s how she became famous. So, at least Britney Spears has the same level of expertise as her. As for an alternate for Paula, I think Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston should be the lady judges. They both have set the standard for pop and R & B. Mariah Carey has had 17 #1’s. That means she’s had the same number as Elvis! If she isn’t a candidate for the job who is? If Whitney got the spot it could be her comeback. As for a replacement for Randy, I think Bono would be the perfect candidate. Another great contender would be Michael Jackson.
