New York City, Jan 15 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Simon Cowell had announced that this will be the last season of the American Idol for him. And already there is a lot of interest from the celebrities who want to take his place. Producer of the show Simon Fuller says that there has actually been a lot of celebrity interest in the job.
Simon Fuller said that there isn’t a day that goes by now, that he doesn’t get a call from an agent of a superstar asking to talk. It appears that everyone is interested in Simon Cowell’s job and Fuller says that this is now going to go on month after month.
The producer and chief executive of 19 Entertainment also spoke about the new sizzling chemistry between the new judge Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell on the show. Ellen has recently joined the show and the taped episodes haven’t been shown on TV as yet. He said that he has enjoyed watching the chemistry emerge, between newcomer Ellen DeGeneres, who came onboard to replace Paula Abdul after she quit last year, and the acerbic Simon Cowell.
Among the names of the possible judges for Simon’s job are Diddy, Larry Rudolph, Conan, Sharon Osbourne, Heidi Montag, Perez Hilton, Jessica Simpson and even the scandal-ridden star Tiger Woods.
