Replacing Simon
I read a couple of interesting articles online today. One said that Elton John was rumored as a person of interest to replace Simon Cowell as a new judge next season. Another post had Ryan Seacrest doubling as both host and judge. Personally, I wouldn’t let Seacrest touch judging with a 10-foot pole. Elton John would be a great choice. He knows the business, for sure. I wonder if he would be able to be a frank with auditionists and contestants as Simon. But that’s one judge that may fit in well with Randy, Kara and Ellen.

I heard the Elton John/Ryan Seacrest rumors too, but from what I’ve read on tmz.com Elton has already acknowledged the rumor and said he won’t be replacing Simon. I agree, he’d be a great choice though.
As for Seacrest, I think he’s great host but doubling him as a judge would only mess things up.
