:: Howard Stern was allegedly propositioned by Idol producers to take over for Simon Cowell. He then made them take their tops off and fake an orgasm. What a great choice for a judge on a family-friendly, primetime show! [New York Post]

:: One last look at the most memorable auditions before we head into Hollywood week. (Yes, there were other people who auditioned besides the “Pants on the Ground” guy.) [MTV]

:: Somebody bought Adam Lambert’s underwear on eBay for $8,500 (with all proceeds of the auction going to the Red Cross). Think that’s a lot? Michael Jackson’s undies were sold for over a million. Eight grand is a steal compared to a milli.  [MJsbigblog]

:: Casey James, the hunky contestant who took his shirt off at the bequest of Kara and Victoria Beckham, has a criminal past stemming from DUIs and reckless driving. Looks like Idol‘s got their “bad boy” slot filled in. [Radar Online]
