Imagine Madonna going head-to-head with Simon Cowell.
With her new album, Hard Candy, dropping April 29, smack-dab in the middle of AI's seventh season, I say it’s time for the Queen of Pop to appear on American Idol.
Just look at Jim Carrey. His appearance last week on AI—in an elephant costume, no less—helped his new animated flick, Horton Hears a Who!, blow away the competition. It was the weekend’s top-grossing movie, with a reported $45.1 million in ticket sales.
Are you with me?
Come on, she's working it already. Her new single with Justin Timberlake, “4 Minutes to Save the World,” debuted yesterday as part of a commercial for Sunsilk hair-care products. The tune, as I was the first to report, will also be heard in the upcoming Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway comedy Get Smart.
Sadly, Madonna’s rep said an AI appearance is unlikely, because “her schedule’s really crazy leading up to the album release.”
Oh well, maybe Timberlake can convince her to do AI together. If Madge could kiss Britney Spears on live television, there’s no telling what she would do with J.T.
