American Idol wants Courtney Love

courtney loveThis bit of news is according to Courtney Love and US Magazine... so two strikes against it already. Courtney tells the gossip rag that American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe contacted her about appearing as a judge. The magazine takes that to mean that Love will replace Paula Abdul but that sounds like a load of crap to me. I imagine that she's been invited to appear as a guest judge, which is a common practice for American Idol.

Plus, she'll make Paula look good.

*Update: US magazine says an 'imposter' phoned Courtney, which makes a lot more sense than her appearing on American Idol.

If they replace Paula the show will not be half as interesting for a lot of people cause I think her antics are the reason a lot of people tune in

Today I found out that one of your contestants was arrested for putting sugar in her ex-boyfriends gas tank from what I understand, and I dont think that she should be able to go back into the competition. This show is about AMERICAN IDOLS and I dont like the idea that our "Next American Idol" could have been a delinquint. I dont think it's right to let anyone in the competition that has ever been arrested or acused of a felony. This past season, season five, our "American Idol" was Taylor Hicks. While reading the artical about Carr, I found out that Hicks was arrested in 1998 for possesion of marijuana. What kind of "Idol" is that? All these kids look up to people like that and I dont think its right for that person to be, or have been a drug addict!

Courtney Love should stick with recording her upcoming album with producer Linda Perry. I couldn't imagine her being a judge on American Idol. She'd be a raunchier version of Simon Cowell's caustic style. And she'll be cursing so much and not like the finalists' performances that the producers will stop the tape, end production and send everybody home. Courtney's excessive rock image wouldn't work for American Idol. I'm pleased that she finally admitted that she would never do it.

American Idol: How dumb can the American public be?With Simon, it's all show-man-ship,and he is good for comic relief. It's a big act to score in the ratings. Before "Idol" nobody ever heard of him. The Producers should get rid of Randy & Paula. They are useless stooges. Any replacement they bring in,is either a "has been" or "never wuz". This is proabably Idols last season anyway.

I don't like the American Idol show. Paula Abdul is a person I never judge or think about. Has it beeen proven that her behaviour is erratic, or that she is drunk, or on medication?
Courtney Love would be is amajor "NO NO".I don't know who she is or what she does if anything) The media portrays her as a junkie, alcoholic, and slut. Question: Is that the image TV wants to
portray for our youth?......Answer: Probably,YES

As usual I think all rumors of Courtney Love doing anything are ridiculous. I don't see any network taking a chance on her doing any co-hosting or hosting any shows. She just keeps riding on her late-husband Kurt Cobain's legacy.....now he was TALENT.

Oh man, if this is anything but a rumor Idol is in big trouble. To even contemplate replacing someone who has a positive outlook on life with this drugged out disgusting no talent would certainly put the show where it would belong, right in the trash along with Love. I've only seen her perform a couple times and that was plenty to let me know she is without talent. And the number of times she's been in the news certainly doesn't make me want to watch her on anything else. Idol would no longer be watched in our home.

That is just totally ridiculous. She has nothing to offer that show, nor the public. She has done nothing positive to have anyone respect her opinion of trash removal, let alone a contestant trying impress Simon, She will be such a detriment as her only notes are MI MI MI.
