As reported everywhere, Elton John is to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol but according to Elton John’s rep this is NOT true.
According to TMZ:
On TMZ TV — the day Simon announced he was leaving — we floated Elton John as the guy who should take Simon’s seat. After all, he knows music, he’s certainly got the bitchy attitude, and he’s British.
Now an “American Idol” spy tells us the talk on the set is … Elton John!
Elton was a guest judge in season three of ‘Idol.’
