Nigel Lythgoe defends American Idol from Rosie O'Donnell

Nigel Lythgoe, executive producer of the TV show "American Idol", issued a statement in response to Rosie O'Donnell's criticism of the show. Here is the statement:

"Without wishing to add to the obvious self-promotion of Ms. O'Donnell, I feel as though I must refute her absurd and ridiculous claims that 'American Idol' is racist and/or weightist. Ms. O'Donnell has, once again, spoken without thought or knowledge. Viewers need only look at the show tonight to realize that 'American Idol' constantly confirms to America that talent has nothing to do with weight or color."

Rosie seems to pick fights with all sorts os people. I bet Nigel Lythgoe and Donald trump would have a good time swapping stories over a few cocktails.
