COWELL BLASTS HUDSON FOR IDOL 'STEPPING STONE' COMMENT

Music mogul SIMON COWELL has blasted Oscar winner JENNIFER HUDSON after she called AMERICAN IDOL 'a stepping stone' - insisting she wouldn't have been cast in DREAMGIRLS without the US talent show.

Hudson was a contestant on Idol in 2004, but was voted off before the final. Over a year later, she auditioned for the role of EFFIE WHITE in the big screen version of the musical DREAMGIRLS and was cast.

When Hudson accepted her Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Dreamgirls last weekend (25FEB07), Cowell was disappointed she declined to mention the show.

He says, "Jennifer Hudson said American Idol was a 'stepping stone' for her. Stepping stone? It was her big opportunity to become noticed and she got noticed and she got Dreamgirls.

"Singers like her deliberately turn against the show that made them successful. The reason (people) come on the show is because all the doors had been slammed in their face."
