Steven Tyler Swears During Live Broadcast of American Idol - FCC looking at Charges.


So the Big News on the American Idol front this morning is free speaking sometimes foul mouthed American Idol Judge Steven Tyler for his F-word moment during a Casey Abrams critique last night. Normally, this would not be too big of an issue since American Idol has a delay built in specifically for Steven Tyler and anyone else who may decide to swear or say something objectionable during the live broadcast of American Idol. For some reason, the producers of the April 20th edition of American Idol managed to miss Steven Tyler Swearing live on American Idol. I guess they also moonlight as nighttime Air traffic controllers during their off time.

During Steven Tylers critique of Casey Abrams's rendition of 'Harder To Breathe' by Maroon 5, Steven Tyler emphatically stated
"There are millions of people in America that are really angry because you piss them off because you are f**king good"
The network quickly went to commercial and when the show came back Steven Tyler was sitting at the judges' table with a piece of duct tape across his mouth. American Idol Judge Randy Jackson joked, "We had to silence him just for a second." Steven Tyler then removed the tape, stating "You can't keep me quiet!"

Whatever the case, Steven Tylers F-word moment went out live on the East coast and is sure to hit youtube until it gets censored out. For that reason, we will be including video of the uncensored American Idol episode where Steven Tyler swears and says the f-word live on American Idol. Why? well because all the teenagers who watch American Idol get all giddy when someone says "fvck" come on people, it is just a word that starts with an "f" and ends with a "K" Kinda like Frank, except with one less letter.

The big issue now is what the FCC will end up doing to FOX network, Fremantlemedia, and Steven Tyler. Remember the ever popular superbowl "wardwrobe malfunction" aka "Nip-slip" of a few years back when Janet Jackson showed the world her nipple? Well, that little publicity stunt ended up costing Jackson a fair chunk of change and the FCC is sure not going to let the Steven Tyler prime time swearing incident from American Idol slip under the radar.

So what are your thoughts? Is it really that big of a deal that Steven Tyler swore on American Idol last night? Do you think the Producers of American Idol specifically hired Steven Tyler in a big plan to have him say the "f-word", ah Fvck it, the word is fvck? Or do you think, maybe, just maybe, Steven Tyler is an FCC plant just to increase department revenues?

PAULA ABDUL QUITS AMERICAN IDOL

Paula Abdul's latest Twitter post indicates Paula Abdul has decided to call it quits with American Idol. Since the inception of American Idol, Paula Abdul has been a fixture with the show. The constant almost sibling like rivalry between Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell was part of the Idol formula used in several other Idol programs including Australian Idol as well as Canadian Idol.






The addition of Kara DioGuardi as a fourth judge changed the formula and let many to believe American Idol producers were preparing for the departure of Paula Abdul from American Idol. What happened though, was a sort of partnership, if you will, between the American Idol chicks, Kara DioGuardi and Paula Abdul vs the American Idol boys. Although Randy Jackson's roll has always been more neutral, compared to Simon, there was already a balance and tie breaker situation.

Over the past few months, there has been plenty of speculation regarding the future of Paula Abdul on American Idol. In addition to going through annual contract negotiations with American Idol Producers, American Idol Judge Paula Abdul hired a new manager in David Sonenberg. With her new management in tow, Paula Abdul reportedly demanded $20 million from the American Idol producers to stay on as an American Idol Judge, but her manager David Sonenberg recently said, "Very sadly, it does not appear that she's going to be back on Idol."





Since David Sonenberg's announcement on the possible fate of American Idol Judge Paula Abdul, Fans of Paula Abdul launched several campaign's in support of keeping Paula Abdul on American Idol. Last night, Paula Abdul dashed the hopes of her fans and thanks all her supporters when she announced she will be vacating the Paula Abdul seat on American Idol.

In her Twitter message, regarding her resignation from American Idol, Paula Abdul thanked her friends while displaying some underlying discontent towards American Idol producers in her Twitter statement. Displaying a little ego, Paula Abdul's line "being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon" is an obvious indication of some unresolved conflict or discontent over an apparent producer lack of appreciation of Paula Abdul's contribution towards Americian Idol.

Paula Abdul's Twitter post on Leaving American Idol
"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to #IDOL. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all ...being a part of a show that I helped from day1become an international phenomenon ... What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me ... It truly has been breathtaking, especially over the past month ... I do without any doubt have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."






There are still those out there who are hoping this radical move of Paula Abdul's in resigning from American Idol is a simple contract negotiation ploy. Insider reports, however, indicate Paula Abdul rejected an eight-figure deal from American Idol producers, which in essence represented a 30 percent raise. Whatever the case, as it sites now, the American Idol Judge team for Season 9 of American Idol consists of Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Simon Cowell. It is unclear if American Idol producers will bring on another female judge to replace Paula Abdul or if they will be going back to the 3 judge formula. Season 9 of American Idol will start airing in January of 2010, without longtime American Idol Judge Paula Abdul.

PAULA ABDUL LEAVING AMERICAN IDOL?


With Season 9 of American Idol scheduled to start recording in August, the American Idol Rumour Mill is starting to churn with new rumours regarding American Idol Judge Paula Abdul.

News from the Paula Abdul camp indicates Paula may get fired prior to the shooting of Season 9 of American Idol. Over the weekend, Paula Abdul's manager, David Sonenberg, told the Los Angeles Times The American Idol producers have not come forward with a contract proposal for Paula Abdul. This move is even more odd considering the Season 9 American Idol auditions are due to start August 6.






Shortly after marrying general contractor Mike McCuddy at the beginning of this month, the future of fellow Female judge Kara DioGuardi is also uncertain. Although there is no specific indication regarding the American Idol future of Kara Dioguardi, the fact that "No Boundaries" a song co-written by Kara DioGuardi and performed by American Idol Winner Kris Allen, has been dropped from the American Idol Tour may have spurred some further seeds of discontent as far as Kara DioGuardi goes.

Many fans of American Idol have always had a problem with Kara DioGuardi. Possibly suspecting her as a trial replacement for the overly sugary sweet Paula Abdul, Paula Abdul fans were always quick to roast Kara DioGuardi over her sometimes rambling comments. Fans of Paula Abdul have gone to creating a twitter page in support of Paula Abdul remaining on American Idol. Many websites are standing vigil with lists and reasons as to why Paula Abdul would remain a judge on American Idol.

When asked about the possible firing of fellow judge Paula Abdul from American Idol, Simon Cowell has cast doubt on Paula Abdul's future with American Idol by stating he wanted Paula Abdul to remain a judge on American Idol "I don't get a lot of say. I've just made it clear that I want Paula on the show," said Simon Cowell in an interview on Monday.







Although there have been indications that the popularity and saleability of American Idol has fallen over the years, the recent contract deal with host Ryan Seacrest would indicate the producers of American Idol are definitely in no shortage of cash. Reports indicate Ryan Seacrest just inked his portion of the American Idol pot with a record $45 Million contract which effectively doubled his salary from the previous season.

Earlier reports rumours American Idol Judge Simon Cowell as demanding over $100 Million for Season 9 of American Idol have been debunked by Simon as "preposterous"
