TV’s Mr Nasty wants pop princess to star in American Idol

Simon Cowell wants Britney Spears to make a guest appearance on US talent show American Idol.

‘As far as I’m concerned, she can produce or direct American Idol if she likes,’ he says. ‘She’d bring in 50 million viewers.’

The pop mogul believes that Britney has what it takes to make a successful comeback.

‘She’s got the talent but has got to make a record as good as Baby One More Time again,’ he tells the Daily Record.

‘Even though she made that record 10 years ago, we’re still talking about her.’

‘Part of her charm is that she gets as many things wrong in her life as she gets right.’

Lots of scoop!

From NY Post:

The next edition of “American Idol” doesn’t start until January - but the Hollywood phase of the show, where scores of hopefuls are narrowed down to 24 semi-finalists, is about to begin and a new season is officially underway.

Several changes are in the works, officials say, including:

* changing the format to let singers show other musical talents, such as guitar playing.

* many fewer “mentors,” those established musical stars like Diana Ross and Tony Bennett, who appeared every week last season and took attention away from the contestants.

* and next summer, the annual “Idol” live tour may be combined with the “So You Think You Can Dance” tour - to create a show with both singing and dancing.

“We’re bringing about 160 people back to Hollywood at the end of this month,” says “Idol” executive producer Nigel Lythgoe.

“We’ll bring everyone there, and the judges will spend four days with them and bring the list down to the top 24 contestants - 12 boys and 12 girls.”

The seven-city audition tour ended late last month with a few standouts, Lythgoe says.

“There are one or two that stand out - there are three girls who are superb, including one girl we saw three years ago who wasn’t an American citizen [and is now] and we’re happy to have her this year,” he says.

“And we’ve got one or two guys who are really good.”

Lythgoe is busy producing his latest Fox show, “The Next Great American Band,” now and hasn’t seen much “Idol” audition footage yet.

“I’m literally going into the edit suite [this] week,” he says.

The Hollywood phase of the show will include something different this year.
