Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell isn’t half a money making machine is he? Not only had he pocketed loads of dosh thanks to his UK TV shows (and American Idol) but now he’s signed a whopping £100million deal to take The X Factor to the US!
Not only that, but he wants to take our very own Cheryl Cole with him as their pair of them push old show American Idol, to one side, and offer the X Factor in its place (personally I don’t know what the difference is other than the name!)
The main difference is, of course, that Simon Cowell will now sign the winner to his own record label, rather than just being there as a paid judge, therefore, the new series of American Idol, which has started today will be the last one ever, whilst The X Factor is currently scheduled to start in the autumn of 2011 in the States.
However, the obvious problem there s that one of the shows will have to be moved, as the UK version starts at around the same time - meaning that one will probably move to the Spring, and my money’s on the UK one moving times after Joe McElderry’s crushing defeat at the hands of Rage Against The Machine fans this Christmas!
How exciting is this!?
