Simon Cowell will not - repeat, will not - be frozen

The most blunt American Idol judge is not going to have his body frozen.

Simon Cowell mentioned at a dinner party a few weeks that he wanted to have his body frozen when he died so he could come back to life. Of course, someone overheard Cowell making the remark to British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and it got out to the media. Now Cowell's publicist has actually had to release a statement saying that Cowell was only kidding when he made the remark. Instead, he's going to have his brain implanted into a giant robot. (Just kidding.)

This is rather sad news, actually. I think it would have been great for Cowell to be a judge on NBCFOXGoogle's Planet Idol 2326, telecast live from a giant orb stadium that circles the Earth and features contestants from across the universe, hosted by Ryan Seacrest's great great great grandson. It will probably get good enough ratings to battle the #1 show, According To Jim.
