'American Idol': Martha Stewart, Jamie Foxx replacing Simon Cowell?

How do you feel about Martha Stewart or Jamie Foxx replacing judge Simon Cowell on "American Idol?"According to Life & Style magazine, Jamie Foxx is one of the frontrunners for Simon Cowell's job at the end of this season of "Idol." Remember, Foxx was a mentor to the Idols last year for Rat Pack night and we recall thinking he did an okay job. We aren't sure he's frank enough to take over for Cowell, though.
For that, we like Martha Stewart. She tells Ok! Magazine, "I'd be the best 'American Idol' judge because I'm fair." We couldn't agree more. We think Martha's soft-spoken-yet-tough-as-nails attitude might be just what the Idols need, plus then it would finally break out of the male-female-male format that every show that followed "Idol" has copied.
What do you think? Could Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Martha Stewart handle the "Idol" judges' panel? What if Ellen is or is not coming back? Does that make a difference?

Seriously ... you have got to be kidding me??!!
Well if they are thinking Martha Stewert, than they should consider Judge Judy, because that is one woman, who tells it like it is.
It's bad enough you have those douchebags Kara and The degenerate on there but now offering a role to one of these two goofs? Then cancel this show now.
no jamie fox, please. we don't need another randy (and i'm not talking about skin color).
What about Roseanne Barr?? She would make the show with her comedic side and her total honesty. Skip Martha and all the others........Roseanne is the one!!!
martha stewart would rock it..!! jamie foxxx naah.. not so much.. lets leave the naked photos online to him..
Maaatha realllly the apocalypse must be here.
no way not good. need someone who can relate to the people not some uppity old snooty wuman who cooks to tell singers if they have talent. uh uh, ain't gonna work
Must be Zucked up idea?
Please.....Martha is trying too hard - dancing around a pole.She should be in a sleezy entertainment joint. She has no heart, she is not soft spoken, nor does respect the folks who are cooking with her - she always has the last word. I don't think she would be fair at all unless she agreed with the other judges. I would love to give this a try - just to show how nice I can be to the contestants - but at the same time, be kind and tell the truth. I love music of all venues. My years of life experience would show!
