Love Your American Idol Judge

While you're watching Birmingham get blasted tonight by "It Was A Little Flat For Me" Jackson, "I've Never Been Drunk" Abdul, and the British guy, imagine a new face seated along the panel. This one.

Us Weekly reports after a conversation with Court:

Love reveals to her favorite magazine Web site that Idol's executive producer Nigel Lythgoe called her office last week inquiring into whether she would be interested in sitting in as a judge on the hit FOX show.

"He called," Love tells Usmagazine.com. "He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird but brilliant."

...

But a source tells Usmagazine.com that Lythgoe was considering having Love "replace Paula."

Could just be a ratings grabbing guest slot. But what if she replaced Paula? Sure Abdul's losing it, but Court isn't exactly a paragon of stability. We'd totally watch.

Aw hell, while they're at it, why don't they just resurrect G.G. Allin?

Oh, and it's "I dunno, It was just aight for me, dawg" Jackson.

Over at www.moonwashedrose.com where C-Love posts in the comments, she said her remarks were taken out of context. She has NO plans or desire to do Idol. She says she's going to put out her album, tour, and do some acting this year. That's it.

That's too bad, I wish she did replace Paula Abdul on the show. It would make for a much more compelling viewing...let's face it, musically she has her ups and downs, but I'd tune in every night to hear her pass judgement on Idol wannabes.

I wish they would just add her as a permanent judge, without replacing anyone. Can you imagine how much fun it would be to watch her and Abdul together?

I call bullshit.

I love Courtney, but she may very well be a pathological liar b/c too often she blurts out random things that I find hard to believe -

Mel Gibson shows show up at her door to help her get sober
she's drag racing Paris Hilton the night she got a DUI

Then again, maybe its all delusional publicity stunts to inject herself in current pop culture and stay relevant.

That's it, Stereogum. The kids don't know what NSFW means. Time for more porn on here.

I can't wait until Pete Doherty is a judge, agreeing with Randy that it was "too pitchy" before injecting Paula with his own blood and passing out facedown on the table.

So they'd be replacing one train wreck with an even bigger one? Where's the logic?

I think they should use BOTH gals.

If anyone did suggest C. Love replace Abdul, it was probably meant to scare Abdul into cleaning up her act.

When people think C. Love is able to keep it together more than you, you know you've got a problem.

people, listen up:

televised train wrecks = super macho mega-ratings.

the only argument against them is turning off your audience by insulting their taste, dignity, or sense of respect.

so ask yourself: does that sound like a problem for fox?

right. c.love on AI soon.

Abdul couldn't sit still for one minute in the Birmingham, Alabama auditions. In fact she disappeared before 15 minutes before the end for a "family commitment"

Looking at her behaviour yesterday I have to say that it is only a matter of time before she hits the latest trend - rehab.

Courtney ? Hell why not ! That guy on the bleep machine will have to be alert tho !
