This man knows how to get attention! Simon Cowell, the hanging judge on Fox TV’s “American Idol,” is on a slag fest in Esquire magazine as the show starts its fourth season facing some heavy-duty competition (”Lost” on ABC for example). Target No. 1: Beyonce Knowles. “She’s not sexy, she hasn’t got a great body and she’s not a great singer.” Curiously, Cowell defends lip-syncer Ashlee Simpson. “Why should you have to do something substandard just for the sake of being real? If it sounds better with the vocal you recorded, why shouldn’t people listen to that? There’s almost a witch-hunt mentality about people miming,” he said.
