It appears another cute little battle with American idol host Ryan Seacrest and bad boy British judge Simon Cowell has spilled all the way over to reality TV show and sex tape princess Kim Kardashian. According to a report from "The Enquirer" columnist Mike Walker, Ryan and Simon were doing one of their familiar "back and forth" debates on the air and the discussion spilled over into their other projects.

In the bulls eye was Kim and the rest of the Kardashian family, the report claims. According to the report from Walker, while taking a break from "American Idol" in London, Simon Cowell phoned Ryan Seacrest's LA radio show to promote his TV reality hit "America's Got Talent."

Walker notes that the Englishman got a bit grouch when Ryan slyly inquired if he was busy "exploiting the talent" from the British version of "Idol". Cowell's wry response: "I'm making them more money. How is that exploiting them?" Then, in a snarky tit for tat, Cowell referenced the pole-dancing booty shaking Kardashian sisters on the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" show Ryan produces for E! Cowell added, "Cause that's not exploitation, is it?!"

Ryan's shaky defense, according to the report from the Enquirer, "That's showing the new family unit...and why it's important to have family time at home." Quipped backCowell: "I mean, the father (Bruce Jenner) dancing with cheerleaders in some weird dance is not exploitation??...you are so full of it, Ryan! What's so frightening is that you believe it!" Ah - when does American idol start back up again?
