I don’t know what “American Idol” is thinking, losing Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell! No offense to Randy, but people certainly weren’t tuning in for his witty commentary or sober decisions. Yes, Ellen DeGeneres is super hilariously awesome, but can the show survive without what Simon says? I guess it depends on who fills his shoes. Last week, rumors sparked that Howard Stern was Fox’s top pick, but this week it sounds like Jamie Foxx, Tommy Mottola, and Guy Oseary are in the running, with Oseary in the lead. [NY Daily News]
And because we want Fox to make an educated decision about who should be hired, we’re going to have to shun, shag, or marry them to figure it out.
