I know they say people in Hollywood are flaky but this story can be a clear example of folks kicking you when you're down.
Question: Is Simon Cowell considering Brandy Norwood a liability?
Answer: It appears so.
The sharp-tongued, fashion challenged 'American Idol' judge is reportedly putting the kibosh on what many thought would be a good look for the former pop superstar.
Until the fatal car crash took place -- at the hands of the 'Moesha' star -- last December, she seemed to be on the comeback trail after being dropped by her longtime label Atlantic Records.
When cast as one of the judges of the ambitious 'American Idol' - inspired talent competition 'America's Got Talent,' which aired last summer on NBC, it provided a great mainstream primetime opportunity for Norwood.
Cowell is the creator and the executive producer of the show, which also featured Regis Philbin as its host, and David Hasselhoff as one of its judges.
Yesterday, 'The New York Post' reported that Sharon Osbourne may replace Norwood on the second season of the show.
Osbourne, the wife of heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne and reality show superstar, is reportedly in talks with producers to take over the gig. Known as a friend of Cowell's, the fellow Brit also appears as a judge on his hit UK talent show, 'X-Factor.'
Though Norwood has yet to be prosecuted for the Dec. 30 death of Awatef Aboudihaj on the Los Angeles highway, she continues to be embroiled in inescapable negative media attention.

I am truly amazed at the quick "negative" responses geared toward Brandy's unfortunate accident. And I am more amazed that anyone would use this opportunity to show the world ( www ) just how small and ignorant they can be. I think for "joy" to come out with such a statement of what she would like us to believe is fact, should post the where she gets this info from.
I, for one, would like to see a response from Joy!!.
I also pray that Brandy keeps her strength and don't give up on her dreams. And my prayers go tot he family of the deceased.

Why is that when a person has any personal difficulty we as people want to remember the bad in them? No matter what you think of Ms. Norwood and her current difficulties you should not be throwing stones, at anytime your life can & will change. Ms. Norwood hold your head up this can and will pass. To those who are throwing stones keep blessing her. Stay strong & positive. PEACE

There is nowbody on this earth who will do everything right. Its just a matter of time before he,him,her,or,they(like Simon Cowell)will be caught in a scandalous situation. Mark my words its just a matter of time.The same mercy Simon Cowell and others show to people, is the same mercy that will be shown to them. Time will tell.[By Michael D. Erwin]

Okay I'm pretty sure that no one cares how many people BrandY has slept with?!?!? To even post a ridiculous comment like that is pointless and made u sound really IGNORANT!! Unfortunatley Brandy was involved in a tragic accident but it's not like she did it on purpose!! Accidents like this happen EVERYDAY and unfortunatley she has the WHOLE WORLD watching and weighing in!! ( Tabloids, media,haters, etc....) LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!

Unfortunately, this incident happened to a very nice young lady. Why down her for something you know she had no intentions of doing. Perhaps, and hopefully, the family of Mrs. Awatef Aboudihaj will forgive Brandy. We all know this was a terrible accident and we all know Brandy is suffering also - not only for herself, but the Aboudihaj family as well. Give her a break and stop being so judgmental and insensitive.
