�American Idol� judges, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson have come under fire from America's Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

The Alliance believe that the two judges made what they consider homophobic comments during a recent episode.

A spokesman for the Alliance said to MSN: "The real offence here was in the producer's decision to add insult to injury by turning a contestant's gender expression into the butt of a joke,"

"We've spoken with Fox and have entered into what we hope will be a productive, ongoing conversation about the show's representation and discussion of sexual orientation and gender expression.�

Fox have yet to comment on this sensitive matter�Cowell has kept quiet for once as well!
