Laura Prudom: 'American Idol' Recap: The Final Three…

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.

It's so sad how we pass judgement on anyone in the spotlight for doing something wrong; everyone makes mistakes. We're all human and only god can judge.

I personally would like to elaborate on the lady who listed all the men Brandy slept with, or you mad it wasn't you, how many have you slept with (non-stars that i may add) so it's her coochie why r u worried? Inquiring Minds Wanna Know. Brandy is not exempt from making any mistakes she's human just like you and me, Accidents happen, just pray for her and not judge her. To the lady that said she didn't sign your 9yr old autograph, i'm sorry about that, but charge that too the game, people are people and we all experience bad days and that just may have been one of her bad days. Before we comment should we pause for a minute and say that could have very well been me.

I'm not sure why Joy or anybody else would comment on who all Brandy has slepted with since that's nobodys business and it has nothing to do with what's going on with her right now. And how would you know who she's been with? Have you fucked Brandy? Did she give you a list of her lovers personally? The comment was just tasteless.

Give Brandy a break. Our Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST, did not judge Juddas, or the Rome Empire for his death. Put Brandy back on the show. I will not watch the show, Brady has already been replaced by Sharon.Bring back Brandy. Everyone in their life time have made a mistake. Tske a look in your mirror Simon. Have you ever made a mistake in your life Simon?
