(Reuters) A teenager who suffered a breakdown on the German version of "American Idol" could end up costing its broadcaster 100,000 euros ($147,000).

The Cultural Council accused RTL of "malicious disregard" for humanity on the show, arguing that the manner in which contestants are humiliated on the show could have detrimental effects on young viewers. - more on this story
