American Idol long time judge, Simon Cowell, just recently said that Perez Hilton could replace him on American Idol. Like what I’ve said myself, Perez Hilton is a good choice to take the spot that is soon to be vacated by Simon. But wait, we should try reading what Simon Cowell said himself regarding this. Simon told USAToday.com that “Perez would be funny”, “He’s got good taste in music, he’s got a personality, that could work.” With that kind of words being said, it is clear that Simon Cowell got Perez Hilton’s back in his campaign to take his spot at the judges’ table on American Idol.

What do you think about Simon Cowell’s statements regarding Perez Hilton? Do you think Perez Hilton fits the show – and the minors watching it? Comments this guy could give on contestants will be nothing but a real no holds barred and offensive that might ‘degrade’ the show, or? Opinions differ, but we’ll just wait and see…
