Quentin Tarantino To Be Celeb Judge On ‘American Idol’

Quentin Tarantino sat down with ‘Extra’ for an exclusive preview of his Tuesday night (now Wednesday night) ‘American Idol’ shot, and he says he’s ready to “out-mean” Simon Cowell. “Can you imagine how cool that is?” Quentin enthused.” You watch the show every week and now you get to be a judge?” And Quentin promises to pull no punches when he critiques the final eight contestants, who will perform hit songs from the movies. “It will not be the celebrity walk that they always get,” cautions Quentin. “’Yes, it was great…’ ‘Yes, you made it your own…’ Not me! I’ve watched every episode of the show. I know all these people.”
