Madonna New American Idol Judge?

The Simon Cowell era is over and I'm sure the American Idol will now be over too. I know I only watched the show for Simon, so its funny to hear who they'll replace the popular judge with. Rumors first had Howard Stern taking over, which would've been amazing, but now that Howard has shot that rumor down himself, a new one pops up.

Madonna is now rumored to replace Simon Cowell on Idol.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Simon is going to leave a gaping hole. Not only is he an expert, he's also a big star in the States. Everyone agrees Madge would be great and they want her as a full-time judge. But if that fails they'd at least like her as a mentor."

I think you'd be happy to even have her make a brief appearance on the show, let alone judge for it. I could throw out any number of rock star names just to start a rumor. Let's see - Paul McCartney, Bruce Springteen, Bono, Beyonce, and Britney Spears. And what do they all have in common with Madonna. None of them will be an American Idol judge.

Liza Minella Butchers Beyonce's Song

OMG this is sooooo bad!

Apparently this awful cover of Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" was recorded for the new Sex and the City 2 movie.

This should be a huge hit - on YouTube, that is.
