On tomorrow night’s broadcast, Ellen DeGeneres officially joins the American Idol judging table.

While we’re looking forward to this debut, many viewers are already contemplating next season. Still shocked by the news of Simon Cowell’s exit, they’re left to wonder: who will replace this British icon?

Howard Stern has an idea: himself!

“I can’t imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell],” Stern said today. “How else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who’s not afraid to speak their mind?”

All good questions, but surely there’s someone out there that’s outspoken and more knowledgeable about music than he is about lesbians or sex toys.

Stern says quite clearly he’d do the show… if the money is right.

“It might be possible, we’ll see,” he said. “They’d have to pay me a ton of dough, because I already make a ton of dough.”

Stern’s five-year, $500 million contract with Sirius radio expires at the end of this year. Do you think he’d make a suitable replacement for Simon?

While his baby mama’s mama is under fire for hilariously writing notes on her bare hand, Levi Johnston makes one thing clear in the latest issue of Playgirl:

He’s comfortable in his bare skin.

The magazine is relaunching its print edition with this issue, as it’s anchored by an article titled “Levi Johnston Goes Rogue.”

The accompanying pictorial includes an interview with Johnston, who is the father to Bristol Palin’s one-year old son, Tripp. He’s embroiled in a patrimony lawsuit with the Palins, which seems odd:

Based on the picture below, he doesn’t appear to have any money on him, does he?

For those that need more than just a few Levi Johnston nude photos, take note: a Playgirl pay-per-view special airs on cable February 12. Check your local listings.

And to critics that find it appalling for Johnston to milk his fame in such a shameful manner, we agree. Seriously, it would be akin to a former Vice Presidential candidate exploiting her children and grandchild on the cover of a tabloid.

But no serious-minded politican would do that, right?

Feast your eyes on the photos below, Star.

Amidst utterly contrived rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are breaking up - with the former pursuing Jennifer Aniston, and the latter going after Johnny Depp - the couple brought son Maddox to Super Bowl XLIV. They don’t exactly look like a family in trouble, do they?

Pitt and Jolie, who reside in New Orleans and have dedicated time/money to the rebuilding efforts there, joined friends in a VIP box to watch the game. They celebrated together as the Saints upset the Colts 31-17.

And while the classy couple would never say it, allow us to get inside Brangelina’s head as the pair laid a Super Bowl smooch on one another: Eff you, tabloids!

While the cast of Jersey Shore considers where it will end up for season two, Nicole Polizzi knows where she’s headed tonight:

Into the arms of Emilio Antonio.

That’s the name of the “guido juicehead” Snooki recently dished about to Radar Online. She described her new boy toy thusly:

“He is a body builder and works at the gym,” she told RadarOnline.com. “He is freaking banging. We’re the sexiest couple I have ever seen in my entire life, so I am excited for everybody to see that.”

They now can. Antonio has posted a photo of the pair on Facebook:

Seems like Snooki’s type, doesn’t he?

Snooki says she’s “bringing my man” to Miami, or wherever the cast ends up next season. As long as they have a gym and a tanning both there, we’re guessing Emilio will be happy to tag along.
