Folksy rock singer Chris Isaak has met twice with Fox as the search intensifies to replace caustic "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell, the Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Isaak, in addition to penning hit songs like 1989's "Wicked Game," has appeared in a slew of TV series over the years, including "Eastwick," "Cold Case," "Smallville" and his own "Chris Isaak Show" for Showtime.
Another affable crooner, Harry Connick Jr., also has been considered.

The Daily Mail says the following:
Cowell will have a solarium off the master bedroom that includes a full-sized tanning machine and a smaller "booster" facial tanning machine.
And that's not all. Cowell will enjoy a gym, spa, steam room and lap pool. He will have a butler and a live-in maid.
And it gets better: He'll be surrounded by A-list neighbors like Tom Cruise, Madonna, the Osbournes and the Beckhams.
"I've been involved in every aspect of the design of the new place, right down to the doorknobs. I have other houses but this is my dream home," Cowell said.

Cowell was making a tongue-in-cheek remark at a dinner in London two weeks ago with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and other guests, spokeswoman Lisa Dallos said Tuesday.
But the cryogenics comment that Dallos said was meant as a joke was trumpeted in a number of news reports as a serious plan by Cowell, a music industry executive and TV producer ("America's Got Talent," Britain's "The X Factor").

The reality TV judge told guests at a private dinner hosted by Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown that he planned to have his body preserved in liquid nitrogen - in the hope scientists can find a way to bring him back to life.
He said, "I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you've been declared dead.
"Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do. I would be doing the nation an invaluable service."
