According to Howard Stern, rumors that he is in the running to replace Simon Cowell's soon-to-be-vacant seat on American Idol are true. On Monday's broadcast of his Sirius XM satellite radio show, the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" said that Fox approached him about the job after Cowell himself recommended him.

"There's not a better job on the planet than judging a f--king karaoke contest. It might be possible, we'll see," Stern said during the broadcast. "They'd have to pay me a ton of dough, because I already make a ton of dough," added Stern, whose $500 million deal with Sirius XM expires in January 2011.
