Simon Cowell Negotiating 5 Year Production Deal With FOX, May Quit X Factor

Radar Online reports that Simon Cowell is   negotiating a new multi-year deal with FOX that would allow Simon to bring the X Factor to the US and keep all of Simon’s shows exclusive to FOX.

Sources say it’s likely the X Factor would come to the US by the second half of the new season.   The talks have also raised the possibility of Simon extending his role on American Idol.

See, I knew Simon’s goal was to become a media mogul.   At 50, he’s not satisfied with sitting behind a judges’ table critiquing karaoke singers–no matter how much money and fame it brings him. He’s looking for power.

His new partnership with British retail tycoon Sir Phillip Green will help Simon in his quest to take over the world. Or at least the US.   He’s already conquered the UK. Now it’s time to make his mark across the pond…

Also, the UK’s Daily Mirror is reporting that Simon is set to quit Britain’s X Factor to pursue new interests.

I would not be surprised if Simon signs a new deal that would keep on as an American Idol judge, with a bigger piece of the pie, in addition to producing the X Factor in Idol’s off-season…
