What are you waiting for?
I am by no means an American Idol junkie. I watch the show about 3-4 times every season just when it happens to be on. There is nothing particularly wrong with it, but it doesn't really get me going.
That said, I saw a story today on US Magazine that Courtney Love has said that she is being pursued by AI for a spot at the judges table. One comment I heard is that this might be some sort of reaction based on all the wacky crap that Paula pulls all the time, which many people are describing as drunk behavior.
If that is the case, then here is my take. American Idol has been in the news over and over about that Paula crap. I don't think they mind it one bit. I would be willing to bet they like that a lot more than her otherwise boring persona. In fact, I am sure a lot of people tune in just to see if she is sliding out of her chair under the table in a drunken stupor. If Paula is replaced, it is due to the fact that they *know* Courtney Love would keep them in the news. Not only is she completely unpredictable when she isn't sober (and that is just a matter of time), but she is confrontational unlike the happy-go-lucky Paula and the friction on the show would undoubtedly increase. If that happens, I might have to start tuning in just to see that.... wait.... their plan is already working!
