Gordon Ramsay wants Simon Cowell's spot on "Idol"


With all the talk of Simon Cowell possibly leaving American Idol after the end of next season, celebs are already throwing their hat in the ring to be his replacement. During a conference call about Hell's Kitchen, chef Gordon Ramsay was asked if he'd be willing to fill Simon's shoes.

If he’s going to retire, Christ, I would consider stepping in; definitely, of course I would.

I think Gordon is the sh*t and he's really the only reason I watch Hell's Kitchen. I don't care about the challenges, I don't care about the food, I don't care about the people -- my entertainment comes solely from him being a total prick to every single contestant on the show and making them have constant meltdowns. That being said, just because you're a bad ass chef on TV doesn't mean you'd make a good American Idol judge. The judges all have some sort of background in music -- can you imagine a contestant sitting there getting sh*t on by a chef? Just wouldn't make sense. Entertaining, yes, but just wouldn't make sense.
