Britney Spears to host American Idol

Rumors are flying that both Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul will be out as judges on the next season of American Idol. The show wasn't quite the ratings juggernaut it's been in years past and producers feel a major house-cleaning may be what's need to revive the fading franchise. At the top of Fox's wish list to replace Paula is none other than Britney Spears. From a show insider:

"Ratings this year were the lowest in two years - one week, even 'House' beat it. The belief is that things have gotten stale, and 'American Idol' is now 'American Idle.' They really want to mix things up, create a whole new set, institute format changes - and get rid of Paula and Randy, replacing them with younger faces." (Source)

You know what else would mix things up? Loose tigers. You're telling me you wouldn't watch some dude butcher a Barry Manilow song on the off chance he might be mauled. Of course you would. You know the old showbiz mantra--random tiger attacks equals ratings.
