Howard Stern Confirms 'American Idol' Talks

What? American Idol is really considering Howard Stern to replace Simon Cowell? I just died a lot inside. This rumor just got a jolt as The Wrap reports that Howard Stern told his listeners that: "he is considering leaving Sirius – and radio altogether -- to become a judge on American Idol."

"There’s not a better job on the planet than judging that f---ing karaoke contest," Stern said.

"It might be possible, we’ll see," he said, adding: "They’d have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough."

No no no no no. Fox needs to put up a counter-statement ASAP. I think I know what Stern is doing. However, if it is indeed true that the two parties are negotiating. OMG. (When is The X Factor coming on?)
