American Idol Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe claims he did not call Coutney Love about making any kind of appearance on the hit Fox talent series.

“I did not call Courtney Love and am afraid someone may have misrepresented me. Courtney Love is a very talented artist, but the judges for American Idol are Paula, Randy and Simon. We have no plans to add to or replace any of them,” the Idol exec told Us Weekly.

Sources close to C.L believe the rocker was punked.
