Cowell wants to bash Hilton

British music mogul Simon Cowell wants Paris Hilton to compete in a planned celebrity version of his hit show American Idol - because he wants to blast her onscreen.

Cowell, who judges contenders on both the original UK version of the show Pop Idol and the US edition, has hatched plans to get established stars competing against each other with their vocal cords, and he already knows who he wants to enter.
