Courtney Love to Replace Paula Abdul on 'Idol'? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

HOLLYWOOD - Rocker Courtney Love is considering an offer from American Idol producers to possibly replace Paula Abdul as a celebrity judge on the hit TV talent show.

Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe contacted Love's office last week, inquiring if the former Hole singer would be interested in a role on the reality series.

The “Malibu” singer confirms to Us Weekly magazine, "He called. He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird, but brilliant!"

Love, who is currently in Los Angeles recording a solo album, refused to say if she had specifically been asked to take Abdul's place on the show.

But a source confirms Lythgoe was considering having Love "replace Paula."

Abdul made headlines earlier this month when she behaved oddly during live television interviews to promote the hit talent show.

She has since blamed a technical glitch for her strange performances, during which she slurred her words and appeared intoxicated.

She has since denied reports she was drunk during the interviews, insisting, "I've never been drunk in my life--ever."

Wow. That is officially the worst idea i have ever heard.

Slurred speech, funny body movements, other than the blonde hair, what would be the difference?

True.

But Courtney is more prone to viloence.

Simon better watch what he says to her.

Remember in Lethal Weapon, when Mel grabs that bad guys head and snaps his neck?

I imagine it will look something like that.

i dont believe this at all. they said Whitney Houston was going to replace her in Season 4 and it didn't happen.

and if they did get rid of her, it'd kill AI. there's no AI without all 3 judges.

why can't they have just Simon and Randy?

Also, isn't it funny that they supposedly want to replace her with Courtney, someone who can't carry a tune for sh*t...at least Paula had all that studio stuff to make her voice sound a whole lot better.

I seen an old clip of Paula (pre plastic surgery on the nose) when she was a teen and she sang HORRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!

It would mean that you will need both of them to say Yes to go to Hollywood-lol What's the Problem?

Brian Damage · 01-31-2007, 07:42 PM

I guess for me, you need someone to give the deciding vote.

It's a no then.

but i agree, i think its better when there's an odd number of judges. thats why when there's a guest judge it gets rocky.

Wow. When you think about it, there is not much difference. I think back to tht interview that she crashed that was supposed to be about Madonna back in 95'. Courtney would be worse if that is the case.
