As Taliban Gain Ground in Pakistan, President (Hollywood) Hussein Wants To Be On American Idol
2009-05-03
The "American Idol" contestants have enough pressure dealing with the critiques of Randy, Kara, Paula and Simon – and if "Idol's" harshest judge gets his way, they'll be performing for President Obama.

"We would put out an invitation on a daily basis," Simon Cowell told The Hollywood Reporter about "Idol's" attempt to get the Commander in Chief to appear on the hit FOX show.

"I'd love him to come on, his wife to come on, kids to come on." Simon said of the First Family. "I could only picture now what it would be like if he actually turned up."

Adding, "He's a rock star!"

#12  A friend referred to the show as "American Idle" sounds accurate to me.

#2  Its FOX not NBC. He would really piss off his base appearing on FOX - they wouldn't carry his version of a Brandenburg Gate speech and presser.

#1  It seems American Idol want him to appear, and they have received no response.
