Simon Cowell Confirms He's Leaving American Idol
Today 12:44 PM PST by Jennifer Godwin
While the American Idol empire appears to be pretty damn impregnable, some folks think that Idol sans Simon Cowell is about as unsinkable as the Titanic. So will he stay or will he go? We finally know the answer, because Cowell announced onstage today at press tour that he is leaving American Idol.
Simon told the assembled press, "There's been a lot of speculation, partly because we didn't have an agreement. We reached an agreement formally about about half past 11 this morning. Where we have come to is that X-Factor will launch in America in 2011, with me judging the show and executive producing the show, and because of that, this will be my last season on American Idol this year."

I've taken an informal tally of my friends, none of us believe it will be the same with Simon gone. One suggested Piers Morgan. :groan: NO!!!!!!!!!

By Christopher Rocchio, 01/11/2010
After initially avoiding the issue, the odds-on favorite to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol has pulled himself out of the running.
"I do America's Got Talent, so it's not going to happen," Piers Morgan said during an appearance on Friday's Today show broadcast. "But it's nice to be the favorite."
"Are you sure it's not going to happen?" asked Today co-host Hoda Kotb.
"I'm pretty sure, yeah,"
