[QUOTE=control-z] The only way Courtney Love could be a good choice is if she and Simon got into a brawl. I mean honestly, what are they thinking? [/QUOTE] “If?” I think Courtney getting into brawls is pretty much a foregone conclusion. I can just see it now - her jumping up and going over to drunkenly sing along with the wannabes, telling Simon to fuck off when he tries to get her to stop, Randy and Simon tackling her to the ground, Courtney laying a beating on both of them, Courtney getting escorted out of the room, her flashing the camera as she goes, hair hanging in ratty tatters, make-up and clothing all askew. ---

[/QUOTE] I think Courtney is a disgusting skank of a celebrity trainwreck who got her 15 minutes via marrying & then killing the face of Rock’s last gasp, but I’d love to see her sock that pompous prick Simon in the pie hole. ---

The highest ratings ever. I don’t think they’re gonna mess with the formula. Plus, I love drunk Paula. I can barely stand serious, sober Paula. And you know how they keep the ratings up? By buzz. Courtney Love is great buzz. If she does come aboard I will look forward to the pixilated nipple. ---

Andy Dick, Dick Cheney, John Kerry (guest spot by Gwen Ifel) No-one ever advances, for one reason or another. ---

It was a prank. [See here](http://www.usmagazine.com/courtney_gets_punked_by_idol_imposter) . Poor chica got Punk’d. The rumours were too ridiculous to believe anyway. Courtney Love on American Idol? Yah… no. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rumor-paula-abdul-might-be-replaced-by-courtney-love/390201.md?page=1)
