Guy Oseary, the manager of pop star Madonna and the chairman of Maverick Records, is rumored to be a favorite to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol. Sources say Idol bosses believe Oseary would be their best bet over their other potential replacements: Tommy Mottola, Jamie Foxx and Howard Stern.Kind of a hottie
“Guy has been in the music business since Madonna discovered him when he was 17, and he has a lot of the same experience as Simon,” says an insider. “His competition just can’t live up to his level of experience and the people behind the show are slowly starting to realize it.”

"People really only know him as Mariah Carey's big bad ex," says the spy. "And producers are worried he'll even be harsher on contestants than Simon was."...
..Not that Oseary is letting such quibbles rain on his parade. An insider close to the entertainment manager, who now oversees not just Madge but her ex Alex Rodriguez, says he'd be more than happy to accept the offer.
"He was thrilled to hear that Fox was considering him. He thinks it would be great for his image," says this snitch. "And it's great exposure to boot."
