Simon Cowell says the Oasis frontman could replace him but they may have to "subtitle him" reports XFM.co.uk.
Noel Gallagher could be lined up to replace Simon Cowell once he leaves American Idol at the end of the current season. Asked about possible new panellists, the high-waited trouser wearer told E! Online.
"Noel? Do you think people would [be able to] understand him?"
When subtitles were suggested, he replied:
"Subtitle him! [Laughter.] Actually I know Noel quite well, and I like him. He's quite funny and a brilliant songwriter. It's a possibility."
Other possible replacements included celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.
