Meet 'Idol's' Newest Nonsingular Sensation


Meet Ian Benardo, the mouth that roars even louder than Simon Cowell’s, and who shocked the judges when he scolded Judge Dread in front of 30 million viewers Wednesday night on FOX.

“He threw me out of there after I started singing,” the wannabe “Idol” complained. “Because he’s a moron.”

When the Bronx, N.Y., native was quickly shunned by Simon, he spouted, “Who are you? Do you even have a working visa?”

After leaving his “Idol” audition in a tizzy, Ian became the talk of Hollywood on Thursday, and “Extra” has him enjoying every bit of his 15 minutes of fame.

“People recognize me everywhere I go,” he told us. “People are asking me about what my next career move is.”

So, what does Ian plan to do with his “Idol” fame?

“I really want to be a talk show host,” he revealed. “I really believe that I can be the next big American sensation.”

Ian got collagen just before he lipped off on national TV, but he confessed to “Extra” that Simon is not the only one who didn’t appreciate his performance.

“My father is humiliated; it’s horrible right now,” he admitted.

But was the humiliation worth it? Well, since we’re listening, I guess so!

Ian had just one thing left to say to Simon before we parted ways: “I should take his job because I have more witty things to say.”


NEXT: Jessica and Justin Continue Cuddle Fest

 

I am glad Ian stood up to simon. Ian did a great job telling him off.(Simon is an Ahole)and I agree completely with Ian about everything he said about Simon.

I am so unbelievably appalled that you are giving this creature any time on the television whatsoever. I have never written in to your show before but the sickening feeling I have for your show because of the choice you made by putting this imbecile on television makes me turn the channel and no longer want to watch your show.

I think Ian is great and funny. Some people think he is a reject and/or idiot. I think he brings entertainment to tv. You should keep him on tv.

After seeing Ian on American Idol, I think he is funny. I would definetly watch him if Extra had him on their show
all the time. I think he brings entertainment to television. Please keep him on air. Thanks

Who really gives a damn about this reject? He did the same act on the dance show on TV. Face it, this guy is just a publicity seeking loser. If anyone ever gave him a TV show they would regret the waste of time and money. Honey, LOGO wouldn’t even want your flamboyant act. Go back to Burger Prince and forget your career in showbiz. You aren’t funny or talented.

Simon brutalizes people because they keep coming back. American Idol has been on for five seasons and yet countless people with more issues than talent and IQs lower than their ages show up and are shocked and outraged when Simon informs them they are not what they were looking for. Ian didn’t even TRY to sing, and yet here he is outraged that Simon didn’t worship the crap that falls out of him.

Simon, I feel your pain.

i am so sick of these people who just go on tv and waste everyones life acting retarted, and then they get famous from it! what is so special about this guy! anyone can sing really bad! there is no talented bone in his body!its not fair that he gets attention for doing sometthing a dog could do, when there could be someone that is really good at something and they should be on tv, but there not because for some reason they think this guy is interesting which i dont get, at all. half of the people that actually sing good dont get shown on the show because they waste an hour showing people who go on the show knowing how bad they are and they just want to get on tv.. and they get wat they want! ians retarted

Eventhough Ian needs to defence,

Note to all Ian Haters. Unless you’re fluent in Hebrew and/or have served in the Israeli Army, or any army for that matter, your opinions are unfounded.

Just when we were done with Kevin Federline, another low-IQ red carpet wannabe graces us with his presence. Ian is just that: another dumb*** that wants to show off his bling and punch out the lights of papparazzi on the red carpet without having to do any actual work. Ian will realize, however, that the only people that will give him work are people that hate the entire planet more than he does. The greatest thing Ian can aspire to is either having an early morning talk show on local radio, or getting a television smashed over his head on WWE.

Oh my God, Ian is absolutely fabulous. I’m fifteen years old and just found my new role model/best friend. He’s so mean, but at least he’s honest. Love him!!! Ian - you can take me shopping with you at Kitson any day. His cruel attitude is hilarious, and just like me! Hey - if you’re rich, you have the authority to be a snob. =) Love ya baby!
