Another 'Idol' Scandal
There is yet another scandal surrounding Fox hit show 'American Idol', but this time it centers around British meanie Simon Cowell, and lets beleaguered, and perpetually out of it, Paula Abdul off the hook.
Rumors are flying that Simon has been accused of planting a British pop star, Tom Lowe, who was once signed to Cowell's record company. He made it through the audition in Seattle, and has his golden ticket to Hollywood, but some other Idol wannabe's aren't happy about it.
Lowe was a member of British boy band North And South, who scored four minor British hit singles on Cowell's record label before splitting in 1998, but Cowell claims he can't remember him.
However, a furious contestant tells British newspaper The Daily Star, "It's really suspicious that they were at the same record company. Simon claims he doesn't remember him but there's a feeling among some people that this could be a fix. A career in the States could be worth $195 million so there's a lot at stake and people aren't happy."
