Alas, a story posted here yesterday has turned out to be false. Courtney Love was not approached to replace Paula Abdul as a judge on American Idol. I hang my head in blogger shame. But you have to admit…it was fun to picture Courtney Love sitting next to Simon Cowell. American Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe said: “I did not call Courtney Love and am afraid someone may have misrepresented me. Courtney Love is a very talented artist, but the judges for American Idol are Paula, Randy and Simon. We have no plans to add to or replace any of them.” So who made that mysterious phone call? A source close to Love says, “It was probably a prank.” A rep for Love adds, “There’s no truth to it whatsoever.” I should have known better when Courtney was the one spreading the story in the first place. Bad blogger, bad, bad girl. In fairness, Courtney probably did think she had been offered the job. Little did she realize that the phone call was really just the exterminator trying to set a time to come disinfect her bedroom. |
