Elton's people deny Idol rumors, again...

Squashed again!

I think this would be a disaster if he agreed to become a judge on American Idol. So good news the rumors are being denied again.  I don't know how he could do it anyway since AI is a long term commitment and it would most certainly impact on his touring schedule.
Justin Timberlake, Elton John Reps Deny 'American Idol' Talks - MTV News

By Gil Kaufman

It sounded a bit too good to be true — and it sounds like it was. News broke on Tuesday that season 10 of "American Idol" might bring the return of former executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, as well as some major changes to the show's judging panel.

Along with the possibility of a wholesale replacement of current judges Randy Jackson, Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres, the Hollywood Reporter suggested that pop icons Elton John and Justin Timberlake were high on the list of candidates to fill the seat left empty following the departure last season of lead musical adjudicator, Simon Cowell.

But later on Tuesday, Deadline Hollywood reported that representatives for both John and Timberlake threw cold water on the rumors, denying that there's any possibility that either would consider the gig. An unnamed source close to Timberlake reportedly told the site that the story was "just silly" because the former 'NSYNC singer has no time for that kind of job.
