AMERICAN IDOL’S crankiest judge, Simon Cowell, admitted to a clutch of reporters outside of Hollywood’s Kodak Theater that he has been in therapy for several weeks to deal with “unmixed feelings of approval and appreciation for our best Idol this season, Adam Lambert.”

Cowell, who last week gave Lambert a standing ovation for his rendition of Tears for Fears’ “Mad World,” said there is “no time to waste” in his daily therapy sessions for what he described as “disturbingly positive emotions regarding another human being. I really don’t know what’s come over me, but it has to be stopped.”
