Is Neil Patrick Harris The New Simon Cowell?

MTV News is making the case that Neil Patrick Harris should replace Simon Cowell next season after he departs from American Idol.

The star on the CBS show How I Met Your Mother is no stranger to a little singing and dancing and apparently gave a stellar performance as an Idol guest judge on Wednesday night’s show.

“He was unafraid to shatter dreams or snicker at particularly awful wannabes. He offered advice — even faint praise — when the situation warranted it, he mastered the art of making the “wowed” face when a particularly great voice caught his fancy,” the review gushes.

But it looks as though a lot of people are vying for the V-necked one’s job: Perez Hilton pleaded to MTV News that he wants to be Cowell’s replacement. While Perez could probably dish it out sassier than Harris, I’m not sure “That was downright shiteous!” is the right touch.
