Courtney
Love
has
been
invited
to
be
a
judge
on
'American
Idol'.
The
former
Hole
singer
has
revealed
the
hit
TV
show's
executive
producer
Nigel
Lythgoe
called
her
last
week
to
ask
if
she'd
be
interested
in
joining
Simon
Cowell,
Paula
Abdul
and
Randy
Jackson
on
the
judging
panel.
Courtney
told
Us
Weekly
magazine:
"He
called.
He
was
wondering
if
I
was
interested.
I
thought
it
was
kind
of
weird
but
brilliant." It
is
not
known
if
Courtney
will
be
joining
the
existing
three
judges
to
choose
America's
next
singing
sensation,
or
if
Lythgoe
is
considering
replacing
Paula.
Paula
-
known
for
her
bitter
ongoing
feud
with
Simon
-
has
fuelled
rumours
that
she
is
battling
substance
abuse
by
appearing
in
a
series
of
interviews
this
January
where
she
was
seen
swaying
and
slurring
her
words.
A
representative
for
'American
Idol'
was
not
available
for
comment.
