‘American Idol’ Shrink Has Mr. Nasty Steamed

The New York Post reports ‘American Idol’ keeps a psychologist on hand to help contestants deal with the rejection they encounter on the show. This hasn’t made the show’s harshest judge Simon Cowell pleased. “I think it’s all a load of garbage to be honest with you,” he told the Post. “It’s ridiculous, it’s pandering to people’s egos. They are not doing this [competition] to save the world, they’re doing it to benefit themselves, and there’s nothing wrong with that.”
