America's Sweetheart to turn American Idol judge?
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver February 1st, 2007

Widow to a dead grunger, mother to a daughter that looks reet like her dad, Courtney Love is potentially lining up a spot on the judging panel of American Idol.

Love has claimed that she's been approached to sit beside Simon Cowell on the US talent show, reports the Independent Online. It's thought that current judge Paula Abdul is to leave the show, freeing up space for the America's Sweetheart rocker. She danced with a cat!

Love told US Weekly that the approach for her opinions was "weird but brilliant".

Courtney Love was born in 1964. She is quite probably old enough to know better.
