INTERVIEW
47 SIMON COWELL
Caught between a rock (Randy Jackson) and a soft-hearted place (Paula Abdul), the cantankerous American Idol judge (and co-creator) believes that when it comes to helping contestants face the music about their lack of talent, a spoonful of venom helps the medicine go down. Prime time's favorite critic sounds off about tone-deaf singers, cultural snobs and why he prefers Kelly Clarkson's music to Bob Dylan's. By Rob Tannenbaum
