Stern: I’d do ‘Idol’ for $100M

 

 

Howard Stern took to his radio show yesterday to address the rumors that he’s a possible replacement for Simon Cowell for the next season of “American Idol.” To sum it up? He’s not going for it.

“They’d have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough,” Stern said. “Yeah I would do that show for $100 million.”

Question: Isn’t it odd to have Stern even in the running? There’s something to be said for “Idol” judges and their ability to detect real singing ability. What does Stern know about talent? The only people he’s made into stars are midgets and strippers. If he came aboard, would “Idol” change its name to “Topless Women Singing”?
