Mariah Carey, George Michael, and Paula Abdul.<\/p>\n

\n

It might sound like the beginning of an incredible joke, but it is so much more.\u00a0 Simon Cowell is seeking the three pop stars to be judges on his new show X-Factor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

This sounds like a glorious trainwreck of an idea.\u00a0 Paula Abdul’s over the top cracked out disposition combined with Mariah Carey’s self-indulgence would be no less than historic.\u00a0 Just imagine for a minute – Mariah Carey and Paula Abdul talking to each other.\u00a0 I know, I know, it is too amazing.\u00a0 Now, I love George Michael, but any group where he is the “normal one” is set for pure television brilliance.\u00a0 I really hope Simon can pull this one off, because American Idol’s judging cast would tremble in the wake of such a ridiculously awesome team.<\/p>\n

\n

Speaking of historic teams and trainwrecks, word hit this week that none other than Ke$ha penned Britney Spears’ new single “‘Till the World Ends”<\/a> That sounds so unbearable that I don’t even have words for it – it is truly a perfect storm of awful.\u00a0 However, I admit that I can’t wait to hear it and make fun of the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

What is wrong with me??<\/p>\n
