From my pal Lesley: Simon Cowell's boorish behavior knows no boundaries -- or borders. He gave new Britain's Got Talent judge Kelly Brook the boot after just six days on the job, reveals Perez Hilton. Brook was added as a fourth judge to breathe new life into the UK show, but she didn't have the necessary skills to impress Simon. Watch your back, Kara DioGuardi!
Me now: Gosh! I can only hope! DioGuardi has been nothing but a sullen, listless and unpleasant addition to Idol this season. She can write a formulaic pop song but she has no TV quotient personality in my view.

someone like, say, richard branson or even andrew lloyd weber would have made excellent, interesting judges. i just think simon doesnt want to be overshadowed.

Or, if they must have a female judge, how bout, say, a Cyndi Lauper ?

someone, anyone, but this unpleasant, common songwriter. she's making me like paula more, by comparison, and this must stop.
