Howard Stern to Replace Cowell on American Idol?

You're going to be hard pressed to find a new judge for American Idol who's more of an obnoxious d-bag than Simon Cowell, but Fox producers have a candidate at the top of their lists: Howard Stern.

Stern may shift gears from the blah-blah-blah he does every morning with strippers and mutants on his satellite radio program to sitting at the American Idol judges' table, according to The New York Post. Stern is tapped as the leading candidate to replace the acerbic Cowell, who's set to retire from the show at the end of this season.
