According to US Weekly, Courtney Love has confirmed that she has received a call from producers of American Idol asking if she would like to sit in at the judging table. Idol has a standing tradition of having guest judges sit in occasionally, the most recent being Jewel and Carol Bayer Sager.

Love declined to reveal any more details, but a source tells US that Idol is actually fishing for a replacement for Paula Abdul, and Love is under consideration.

What the hell?? Sure Paula has been a bit out of it lately, but why on earth would you replace her with someone who could just as easily show up to work with a needle stuck in her arm, if she shows up at all? On top of that, I'm not exactly sure that her new "surgically enhanced" face is camera friendly enough.
