Simon Cowell Doesn’t Want Anything To Do With The “American Idol” Reboot
American Idol: Does Anybody Want This? is rolling full-steam ahead. They reportedly have grinning cereal box mascot Ryan Seacrest returning to host. They tried to get Idol winner Kelly Clarkson as a judge, but lost her to a spinning red chair. Apparently they have tried to get Simon Cowell as well. Simon was asked by his former girlfriend Terri Seymour yesterday on Extra if he’s going to be on the new Idol. To borrow from his pal Randy Jackson, it was a no from him, dawg. Simon is happy remembering the glory days of Idol and doesn’t want to be part of the new one.
“I was asked to do it, and the answer is no. I have no interest. My memories are when we first started. It was a different time with Randy [Jackson], Ryan [Seacrest] and Paula [Abdul]. You can’t recreate that. Last time I watched, it was not the same show, just the same name. I left for a reason and I never regretted that.”
Simon isn’t exactly sitting at home watching his dogs sniff their asses all day. He signed a contract back in October to stay on America’s Got Talent through to 2019.
First Kelly turns Idol down, now Simon. The good news is that if producers run out of potential judge options by audition time, they’ve got the perfect temporary substitutes. The auditions for New Idol will be held at Disney World; all they have to do is just grab a couple animatronics from the Carousel of Progress and program them to say stuff like “Wow, I’ve got chills” and “It’s a no.” Plus, they’ll work for batteries, and they’ll get along great with fellow robot Ryan Seacrest.

Kelly Clarkson Is Joining “The Voice” And Not “American Idol”
Kelly Clarkson was supposedly in talks to make her grand return to American Idol when ABC brings it back from the morgue next year, but there’s been a twist bigger than the one that Ryan Seacrest’s panties get into when his hairstylist uses the wrong kind of pomade. TMZ said that Kelly was making room in her schedule to shoot American Idol, but it turns out that she was making room in her schedule to shoot Idol’s nemesis The Voice. NBC snatching Kelly Clarkson away from ABC is going to lead to the NBC Peacock v. Mickey Mouse bitch fight I’ve been waiting for.
Kelly Clarkson Will Probably Be A Judge On The Reboot (Or Whatever We’re Calling It) Of “American Idol”
It’s been a little over a year since Fox dropped American Idol into a storage box and shoved it into a corner in the garage, but several networks decided that it’s time to bring it back because the people demand it! Cut to the scene showing all of the people crying for American Idol’s return:
ABC eventually won the right to bring Idol back and they announced that it will return to TV screens next year (probably March). Ryan Seacrest will most likely be back as host, which is a great thing, since we’ve all been saying that we need to see more of his face. TMZ says that ABC is putting together the panel of judges for American Idol 2.0 and at the top of their list is Idol’s first winner (and one of its most successful) Kelly Clarkson.
American Idol: Does Nothing Ever Truly Stay Dead?
Because we apparently haven’t had our fill of fame-hungry singers degrading themselves for irritating “judges” who’ve slipped down a rung (or two) on the celebrity relevancy ladder, American Idol is most likely coming back. The only way this would have any sparkle for me is if Paula Abdul left this summer’s NKOTB tour and got her crazy ass back to the judge’s table.
“American Idol” Might Be Coming Back
AMERICAN IDOL! You remember, that show some of you stopped caring about back when George Bush was in office? Well, according to Variety, the show you loved to ignore could potentially be returning to television soon, but to a network that’s not FOX. Continue reading
Presenting… Bo Bice Bringing The Tears And Emotion Over Being Called A “White Boy” At Popeyes
Whatever you’re suffering from, get over it, because nobody is suffering more than American Idol 4’s runner-up Bo Bice!
I thought that 2016 was the year of ridiculously random feuds, but that title may now belong to 2017 thanks to Bo Bice beefing chickening with Popeyes over being called a “white boy” by one of their employees. Bo Bice, who cut off his luscious mane and got glasses, let the raw tears pour out of him after he dramatically told the traumatic tale of the “reverse racism” he suffered through at a Popeyes during an interview with Fox5. I kept waiting for the Funny Or Die logo to pop up in the corner of his interview.
