According to US Magazine,

Love reveals to her favorite magazine Web site that Idol’s executive producer Nigel Lythgoe called her office last week inquiring into whether she would be interested in sitting in as a judge on the hit FOX show.

“He called,” Love tells Usmagazine.com. “He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird but brilliant.”

Oh great, this is not a good move.  So what if Paula gets drunk once in a while as most people are alleging, that video of her during an interview sure didn’t help much, but seriously folks.  Courtney Love?

You’re gonna get someone even worse than Paula.  Courtney makes Paula look like Mother Theresa 10 times over.  Drinking won’t be the only issue if Courtney comes to Idol…
