"Geez, what is Simon thinking?"

Remember, Simon Cowell sold his portion of Idol to Simon Fuller and a few others before the show came to America. Cowell is just an employee of Idol. He couldn't care less who replaces him as he has no equity stake in the production.

This is one reason he's leaving. He's bringing his own show, called something I forget, to Fox next fall.

Ahhhhh ...I didn't realize he wasn't the shot-caller.

Stern and the god less group that work with him per mote abortion, homosexuality, perversion. They have taken their degenerate show to places Larry Flynt could only dream of. Stern traded for money in this life, I wd not want to be him when he meets God
