Howard Stern addresses the American Idol rumors: "There's not a better job on the planet"

At least he says there’s not a better job than judging an “f-ing karaoke contest.” Stern tells this morning’s Sirius show “It might be possible. We'll see.” Referring to his current oversized paycheck, Stern says “a hundred million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I think I would do that show for $100 million…What a cush job: $100 million for four months. Who wouldn’t take that?” But then he plays coy, saying he won’t comment on any possible negotiations with Fox, to replace Simon Cowell. There’s more in the MTV/VH1 coverage of Stern, here.
