New
York
(ANI):
If
rumours
are
to
be
believed,
then
entertainment
manager
and
Madonna"s
friend,
Guy
Oseary,
is
the
favourite
to
replace
Simon
Cowell
in
the
next
season
of
'American
Idol'.
"Guy
has
been
in
the
music
business
since
Madonna
discovered
him
when
he
was
17,
and
he
has
a
lot
of
the
same
experience
as
Simon," the
New
York
Daily
News
quoted
a
Fox
insider.
However,
Oseary
still
has
some
hurdles
to
jump.
A
source
said:
"Producers
are
worried
that
viewers
in
suburban
areas
won''t
know
who
Guy
is.
Simon
has
an
incredible
following,
but
the
same
can''t
really
be
said
for
Guy."An
insider
close
to
the
entertainment
manager
said
that
he''d
be
more
than
pleased
to
accept
the
offer.
"He
was
thrilled
to
hear
that
Fox
was
considering
him.
He
thinks
it
would
be
great
for
his
image.
And
it''s
great
exposure
to
boot," the
insider
added.
