American Idol judge Simon Cowell says he plans to leave the hit reality TV show after this season.
British-born Cowell plans to bring his hit talent show, The X Factor, to the Fox Network and says he will be involved with that show. Built on the same premise as the Idol series, The X Factor pits contestants against each other in a battle to be the next great pop star. The X Factor has been running six seasons in the U.K. and is franchised around the world.
Cowell is master of the nasty put-down and has been a fan favourite at American Idol, which begins airing its new season on Tuesday night.
Fox executives did not say who might replace Cowell, but critics say it will be difficult to equal his caustic appeal. Talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is joining American Idol this season as a replacement for Abdul.Full Story.
