With Ellen DeGeneres no longer on "American Idol" and the fate of Kara DioGuardi
still up in the air, at this point no one knows what the show's judges' table will look like next season.
And one gossip blogger thinks the show needs to scuttle confusion quickly.
"So, the question is not who's gonna replace Simon Cowell, the question now is who's gonna replace Ellen DeGeneres?" Perez Hilton said to MTV News. "'American idol' [is] in quite a predicament."
Rumors have been swirling that Jennifer Lopez might join the judges' table for the show's 10th season, but Perez is making the case for another candidate.
"At least Jessica Simpson could have been insightful and funny," he explained. "I love J.Lo, but she's a diva. There's nothing warm about her, where I think Jessica could bring warmth and insight and humor."
So, why Simpson? "She's still been very visible and Jennifer has tried to be visible but she's kind of been away for a while," he argued.
"[Simpson] has been around for a long time and has that experience, plus America loves to watch her on television. Does America love watching Jennifer Lopez on TV? I don't know. I don't think so."
Or course, if Idol judges came calling to Perez himself, he wouldn't turn down the gig. "Obviously I think I'd be great in that role," he said. "Plus, if they hire Jessica Simpson too, there'd definitely be lots of fireworks between us! She'd be my Paula!"
Would you prefer J.Lo or J-Simp behind the "Idol" judges' table?
