According to a report by Richard Rushfield at thedailybeast.com "...despite the media rumors this week, Howard Stern is not in the running to replace Simon Cowell as a judge on the show." (Photo Credit: © SIRIUS Satellite Radio)
The rumor was fueled by Stern on his satellite radio show and Rushfield says, "A source familiar with the search process says Stern was never even being considered."
It starting to appear Stern used the gossip as "...leverage in the ongoing renegotiation of his contract with Sirius XM."
Audio: mjsbigblog.com has a couple of audio clips of Stern from his SIRIUS radio show talking about how he'd be a judge. These are NSFW.
