Simon Cowell: rumor control

Since every other day there seems to be a new rumor about who might potentially replace Simon Cowell on the future "American Idol," we thought we'd gather them all in one place, just to see how long this list could get.

The latest name bandied about? Howard Stern, who recently hinted on his Sirius radio program that he had been contacted by the producers of a major television show, though he wasn't too jazzed about the prospect. More on that from our Ministry of Gossip brethren.

He joins a handful of internationally-known contenders, but could any of these celebrities fill Cowell's shoes? Who would be your pick for Simon's successor?
