Howard Stern ridicules Britney's X-Factor appeal
Radio host and newly-minted America's Got Talent judge Howard Stern offered a typically blunt assessment of Britney Spears' reported deal to appear on rival talent show X-Factor.
During a press conference at New York's Friars Club on Thurday (May 10), reporters asked Stern for his thoughts on the pop star's TV appeal and here's what he had to say:
"I think it’s a wonderful decision. Britney still thinks the earth is flat... I can't imagine… I think we’re going to tune in to see her, to see if she can function through the thing. As far as any real criticism, I think Simon [Cowell] and LA Reid will do that. As far as criticism, I think Britney will sit there and eat a lollipop and wear a sexy outfit… I'll tune in to see what kind of train wreck she is, absolutely."
Stern will make his debut as a judge on America's Got Talent when the new season begins airing on NBC on May 14.

The very same could be said about Howard Stern. Not everyone likes him - yet he seems overly confident. I'd prefer Britney Spears over him any day and I know I'm not alone. What a jerk! The man needs some MANORS - and my comment is not SOLELY based on THIS article about him. His mouth is disgusting most of the time and he makes me sick! Can't say that about Britney. AND...... At least Britney looks HOT. Howard Stern is HIDEOUS-LOOKING! His face is going to be hard on the eyes no doubt! People who look as UGLY as he does - BELONG ON RADIO - NOT TV!

The very same could not be said about Stern LOL!!! The man revolutionized radio, and he is actually very talented, hence Sirius paying 500 million to get him. Maybe you forgot, but Britney IS a train wreck

At American Got Talent we had the disgusting and annoying Sharon, she is uglier than Britney and about Howard he is a shame to the Human Race.

Howard Stern is a shame to the human race? Really? You watch WAY too much TV if thats what you think. The big bankers destroying the planet, now that is a shame to the human race, not a radio personality LOL

Howard is an asshole but he isn't all wrong on this one. I too will tune in to see how hot Brit looks if she's got it going on I'll stay for a bit. BUT as for AGT there is no chance I'll watch any of that Between him and sharon osborne forget about it.

I am amazed that America's Got Talent would hire such a rude, obnoxious,
person as Howard Stern. I will not watch the show for sure. If that's what you call brilliant.....this world is in terrible shape, I for one am glad that I am not "brilliant". No one will match Simon Cowell. He is critical to the max...and I realize that people keep coming back for more. However, Simon Cowell, after all is the best. And he has more class in his baby finger than Howard Stern.
I am looking forward to X Factor with Simon Cowell.

Stern is the crude, cruel and clueless antithesis to clever critique.

I don't really know why anybody actually cares about Stern and Spears and Cowell and all the other celebrities that all seem to have what somebody else wants, namely a big name in a meaningless sea of annoying, loud mouthed, narcissistic jerks, which is Hollywood, or Idiotwood, whichever way you chose to look at it, have to say or think about anything. Who cares what Stern thinks of Spears, or who Cowell thinks has no talent. Neither do these idiots, and look where they are, so talentless famous people judge other talentless, wannabe famous people. Which is where they all belong, because who wants to be judged by someone that they are all striving to be like, which is pedestrianly talented in a boring, uninteresting way. Nuff said.

If Simon Cowell brings back that Moron LA Reid, I will definitely be NOT Watching X Factor season 2. He is an IDIOT!! American Idol is a real show!! A bunch of Judges on their own Ego trip is not a talent show.....

one thing about howard, he speaks his mind, and it's usually the truth as well.
like none of us have thought the exact thing that he said.
even cowell knows she'll attract viewers just to see how bad she might be.
Posted by: mike | May 10, 2012 9:53:08 PM
brittney can't dance or sing.
she lip-syncs all her performances and waddles around believing she has her young body still.
she is a terrible person to be deciding other's talents.
she's there for one reason....to attract viewers.

That's why he's on radio....most living human beings would rather see her than him. As for a train wreck, of course she will be. It's a stupid decision on Simon's part. Please, please, please Simon, kiss and make up with Cheryl Cole and bring her over to North America. Love her accent, love her.

Do you not know that howard is a shock jock. He is suppose to ruffle a few feathers. Any Bitch Nigger that don't like it should do a little research on what gets people interested in something; if they like it or not!!!
