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.

Dirty Sexy Money just got a whole lot sexier. That is, if Cashmere Mafia isn't renewed, and its being on the bubble is the buzz.

ABC is wooing Lucy Liu to stay, this time as a cast member of Dirty Sexy Money. Although her role would be a secret, you can bet she'd be there to look great and shake things up.

Will she be a replacement for Samaire Armstrong (who plays Juliet Darling), who will not be a regular next season? If so, she'll need to be flighty. I picture Liu as a more devious business woman, using her feminine wiles and cunning to get what she wants, from everyone she comes across, but hopefully not in a two-dimensional way. It will be fun to see how her role pans out.

And the really good news is that if Dirty Sexy Money does phenomenally well as a series, they can always unfreeze Liu to star in its revival, a century later.

(S02E07) From the preview, the opening was pretty much just what I expected. A cryogenic facility at GD is being torn down and someone is discovered frozen in one of the chambers - Fargo's grandfather.
