A-B-C-, Ripping off American Idol Is as Easy as 1-2-3 37021

Know what’s got “great idea” written all over it? Spawning another American Idol clone — and bringing a couple members of the Jackson family on board. You can almost spell “S-U-C-C-E-S-S” at this point, can’t you?

Jermaine, Tito, and the always underemployed LaToya will join Pop Dynasty as judges, evaluating contestants on the CBS show who hope to be the next Carpenters. Or Osmonds. Or Judds. Or, god help us, Hanson.

But this is television, after all, so our money is on the semi-talented relatives who can pull off the multi-faceted dysfunction known as the Jacksons.
