What do you think of Jessica Simpson becoming an American Idol judge to replace Simon Cowell? I think the show is as good as dead if they make her a judge. I would never watch it with that ditzy bleach-blond on there.

:roll:

Jessica Simpson met with 'American Idol' execs on Monday

(EW.com) -- Her boots are made for...judging? Reality TV staple and singer Jessica Simpson has met with "American Idol" producers about joining the show's judging panel, a source close to the show tells EW, confirming a report on TMZ Wednesday afternoon.

"I'm not sure whether her people approached 'Idol,' or if it was the other way around," said the source, who added that Simpson is just one of "dozens" of candidates who've been considered for an "Idol" gig when it returns to the air in January 2011.

As was widely reported Tuesday, former "Idol" executive producer Nigel Lythgoe is all but certain to return to the show for its tenth season, and he went on the record last spring saying he favored an entirely new slate of judges for Fox's ratings juggernaut.

Translation? The network may be looking for more than a replacement for the departing Simon Cowell, who jumped ship at the end of "Idol's" ninth season in order to launch a U.S.-based version of his popular British series "The X Factor."

Complicating matters could be the fact that current judge Randy Jackson is reportedly signed through next year, and his colleagueEllen DeGeneres has only completed the first year of a multi-year deal.

"The network's dream scenario would be to make a splashy announcement at TCA on Monday morning," said the source, referring to Fox's presentation at the 2010 TCA Press Tour that is scheduled for August 2. "They'd be the talk of TCA, and the message to other networks would essentially be, 'Follow that!'"

EW has also learned that despite their names surfacing as potential Cowell replacements earlier this week, both Justin Timberlake and Elton John's meetings with Idol producers took place "a couple months ago.

The show will be dead if this happens. Sony's distribution agreement has ended also. I see them going over to the X-Factor and promoting those hopefuls while Idol has to find another record company to support it's contestants.

Nice girl and a real talent. I don't know anything about the show so it would be hard for me to comment on her potential qualifications.

by **conversationpc** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:48 am

Only if she does the show in the nude. :twisted:

by **Don** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:50 am

She's getting to close to that age where gravity might not be her friend anymore.

by **slucero** » Fri Jul 30, 2010 2:15 pm

Maybe this is what has caused Ellen Degeneres to say "Hasta la Vista"...

Seriously...who votes yes? I want to ban you now. I'm surprised you can even turn a computer on to make such a vote.

I haven't voted, and honestly could care less as I can truthfully say I've never seen one episode nor am I inclined to do so in the future....but playing devil's advocate, it MIGHT help ratings. Doesn't mean it would make it a better show--likely quite the opposite. From a pure ratings perspective however, it may increase them. Maybe from people wanting to see a train wreck, but it wouldn't be the first time that's been done.

Guaranteed end of the show with Simpson - or at least for me...and I became a fan through all the ups and downs about the 3'rd season in..

According to news today, the judges for next season are slated to be Randy Jackson, J-Lo, and Steven Tyler -- not only that, but they just fired Kara What's-Her-Name.

Man I hate this show...

Tyler? WTF?

Lost. The. Plot.

by **rockinfayrose** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:37 pm

What happened to Brett Michaels doing AI?? I'm not particularly thrilled with J-Lo, Jessica or Tyler. The show became a huge success based on the original trio of Simon, Paula & Randy, so once that was changed the show just lost the winning formula for many...now that chemistry will never be rekindled no matter who signs on

Kinda reminds me of a certain band who lost their original singer :wink:

by **artist4perry** » Sat Jul 31, 2010 1:44 pm

No. She would hurt herself without shoulder pads. You know... why do blondes need shoulder pads? So they don't hurt themselves saying "I dunno" *head bobbing side to side.* :lol:
