 MILWAUKEE (AP) - Simon Cowell meet your namesake — Simon, the bush baby. "American Idol" has donated $1,500 to the Milwaukee County Zoo to call its only bush baby Simon — and to poke fun at the outspoken judge for comparing a wide-eyed contestant in Seattle to the tiny primate.
"American Idol" producers contacted the Association of Zoos & Aquariums to find out which zoos have the animal and only about 10 zoos nationwide do, including the Milwaukee County Zoo, zoo spokeswoman Jennifer Diliberti said. The zoo got the call Monday.
"The producer wanted to make sure the joke was put back on Simon, not the contestant," Diliberti said.
