PASADENA, Calif. – Simon Cowell says that this will be his last season on "American Idol."

That’s the end of that show.
Who took Paula’s place? I forget.
And Sarah got a job at Fox. Who knew?
But I don't take Simon for that kinda guy.
I think it was Ellen “Degenerate.”
There are reports that say the Ellen decision wasn’t his although his company owns the show. Says network execs wanted humor on the panel and not bickering.
There is no replacing Simon for this thing. They should have brought in a real vocal talent and not a comedian who has no business judging vocal talent.
I thought David Foster, Steve Perry, Peter Cetera...all would have been solid choices.
I think that skinny non dancing lesbo took her spot.
Yep. So You Think You Can Dance is infinitely better anyway.
OH NO!!! Where are we going to find another obnoxious jerk with a vainglorious opinion in the music industry?
Yep, that’s it.
Simon is the show.
He’s said this at least twice before, then they double what they’re paying him and he stays.
This time he is gone...he is bringing The X-Factor to America next year and will be on the panel for that show instead.
He show may survive after this year.
But I won’t watch it.
He’s just leaving to bring his British “X Factor” show to America. The interesting thing is he’s got Paula Abdul as one of the panel jurists for that show which makes the whole AI “firing” look like a publicity stunt for his new show.

I like the idea of David Foster, although this day in age you almost are required to have a female judge. I’m just happy they didn’t go for some bubble gum pop singer like Mariah Carey or someone like that. That being said, I still won’t watch the show. I’ll just let my female friends tell me what happened last night and secretly not care one bit.
“talent” is stretching it a bit.
Hell he’s already getting 36 million a year!
I won’t miss him, since I never saw that stupid show.
Did he finally hit $1 billion?
