Legitimacy and Legality of American Idol Contracts Questioned

What the hell is he smiling about?

Simon Fuller isn't a household name, but you'd have to be a retarded monkey not to know the product he's responsible for. At age 21, he started his career by signing an unknown named Madonna and grew from there, leading Annie Lennox's solo career and blowing up the Spice Girls, only to get sued by them and watch them fall apart like an FDNY t-shirt in the wash.

His latest franchise, one which I am seriously not proud of to have been a part of (but will get morons licking my ass if I mention,) is the show called American Idol.

Now that the dust has settled and the world has taken some time to smell the coffee, the legal world is currently looking at the processes and contract structure involved in American Idol/World Idol/anything involved with Simon Fuller, guru of all.

This Yahpoo article gets all into this shiznit. You can also read more here based on Idol 1 Winner Kelly Clarkson's contract Perhaps one day, I'll let the world know my part in fucking up the taste of this country's youth.

Wiggins...this only makes me wish we coulda gotten that Spice Girls Icon...*sniffs* wasn't to be
