Maybe now we'll finally get some dirt on our favorite cranky American Idol judge.
Tony Cowell, the brother of Idol judge and producer Simon, will stop by TV Guide Network's Idol Tonight Wednesday at 8 pm/ET to discuss his younger brother. (Perhaps he can give us some insight into Simon's minimalist wardrobe choices.) Cowell will also chat with hosts Kimberly Caldwell and Justin Guarini about the remaining Season 8 finalists.
