Elton John taking Simon Cowell gig still “Idol” chatter
10:29 am, April 7th, 2010
Only successful films should have sequels, not failed rumors.
Returning this week, however, is the rumor that “Elton John is the hot favorite to replace Simon Cowell as a judge on ’American Idol,’” reports Showbiz Spy in a piece similarly titled, “Elton John Poised to Replace Simon Cowell on American Idol.”
According to the site, John, a guest judge on Season Three, is “the perfect candidate” to sit at the judges’ table alongside Kara DioGuardi, Randy Jackson and Ellen DeGeneres because “Elton is funny, knows what he is talking about and won’t suffer any fools.”
This rumor first appeared four months ago, and at the time a rep for John told Gossip Cop, “He is not going to be a judge.”
Nothing seems to have changed.
A source close to John wondered rhetorically, “When would he even have the time for it?”
Hmm… Let’s see…
A week from… never?
