Prickly Brit American Idol host Simon Cowell announced Monday his intent to finish out the current season, then peace the hell outta’ there! Simon’s walking across the hall to run X-Factor (created by himself in Britain) debuting shortly on Fox networks across the U.S.
“American Idol’s” star judge and Fox plan to launch a U.S. version of his wildly popular British music talent show “The X Factor” in 2011, people close to the situation said. As a result, this year may be Cowell’s last with a full-time presence on the nation’s most popular television series, which begins its ninth season Tuesday.
Cowell’s change in status comes at a time when the show faces an important new test this season as talk show host Ellen DeGeneres steps in to replace longtime judge Paula Abdul, who left last summer in a salary dispute.
