Howard Stern‘s gorgeous wife, Beth Ostrosky, says the shock jock would be as tough an “American Idol” judge as Simon Cow ell. “I am so fortunate that I get to sit next to Howard when he cri tiques ‘Idol’ every week at home,” Ostrosky told Page Six. “Not only is it hysterical, he’s so honest. I think he would be great.” Asked if official talks were under way, Beth, speaking at the Fashion Week catwalk for Heidi Klum‘s”Project Runway,” said, “He’s having fun with the idea. I don’t know, you’ll have to ask him.” We first re ported that Stern is an early favorite among producers to take over for Simon. A source close to “Idol” said, “Producers are focused on the show right now, and no decision on a replacement will be announced soon. Howard is making a good case for himself as a judge.” Fox declined to comment.
