Simon Cowell has invited President Barack Obama and his family to appear on “American Idol.”
The cantankerous chief justice of the supreme show made the invitation via a statement to the Hollywood Reporter.
“We would put out an invitation on a daily basis,” Cowell said. “I’d love him [Obama] to come on, his wife to come on, kids to come on. I could only picture now what it would be like if he actually turned up.”
As to why the prez should go on the reality show, Cowell crowed, “He’s a rock star.”

While backing into an RV spot in Fl..we knocked down a termite infested post which held the main Cable TV connection for about 500 RV slots. It was hours before the finals of American Idol and we blacked out the show to those units. Until then, we didn’t know what it was.
We didn’t have a TV.

I thought I saw something like this in the movie “Idiocracy.”

In a way, it’s the most conservative show on TV, as it (generally) rewards the meritocratic.

“He’s a rock star.” It's a shame we didn't elect a leader instead of a rock star. Maybe we'll choose one in 2012:

Wow...I had no idea that Cowell started another Idol in Kenya.
He's right though, he is a rockstar socialist.

I think it’s a ratings ploy. The ratings for A.I. has been flat for the last couple of years. I don’t watch it, but I have read that. I don't know your source, but American Idol is bigger and better than ever. There were around 43 million callers who voted on the contestants. You should watch it. There are only 5 contestants left, and they're all very good singers this year.
To: holy joe
I personally hope that he goes on American Idol and his adoring fans vote to make him the next American Idol because it is clearly the job he is more qualified to hold and then he could resign as POtuS and everyone would be happy.
