Simon Cowell leaving Idol? Say it ain't so! Simon is leaving American Idol after this season to focus on bringing his popular U.K. talent show, The X Factor, to the U.S. in the Fall of 2011. He will be both executive producer and judge for the show which will air on Fox.
I can't imagine Idol without Simon, can you? I love to hate him. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. He and I hardly ever agree, but you know if you get a compliment from him, you've done a bang up job! Season 9 starts tonight in Boston. Will you be watching?

YAY!!! I'M THE PRETTIEST!!!!
i'm gonna miss Simon~ :( I already miss Paula~
Carol~ I don't like Jay....won't miss him....and if they throw Conan out (who i do like), I'll be pissed~ Much prefer Craig, tho...CUZ HE'S HOT!!!~ :D
Bonachichi~ I love Carl's Jr....love their teri burger....found out that if I order the "big burger" and add teri sauce, I get my yummy burger for a little over $3~ :D (this is just in case) :)~
Morning Glories!
I see you are cheating again Tina! I know there are not bylaws any more but..... Good Morning Janice! I think Janice is the prettiest.
No I don't think Idol will last after Simon Legree leaves. Will I be watching. Well I never have in the past so I don't think I will now.
I heard an analyst for TV (I want that job) say that people tuned in to see what crazy shit Paula would do and what crazy shit Simon would say and it will just not be the same. They could be right.
Good Morning Hooters and congrats on 1st tina~
I am already sure that it won't be the same without Paula and Simon fighting. I don't know if I will still watch. I just don't have the dedication to follow too many shows anymore.
Hope everyone has a great day. Had a surprise file inspection from the General Office yesterday. Yipee-but I passed with flying colors. However, they warned me that corporate from New York is coming in next month for audits and our office is one on the list-because we are so close to the Main office it is easier for them. Drats!
Good morning Tina & Good morning LynnD! Tina, you're a sneak but congrats on 1st all the same.
If Simon's leaving Idol, this is DeeDee's big chance! I don't think she's mean, but she's got those snappy comebacks!
Good morning girls...
Simon is not leaving idol! This is the first I have even heard about it.....Thats crazy talk....I don't watch American Idol until near the end like last year when Adam mopped for floor with that gay quy from Arkansas.
But I still think Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle should have both been declared winners last season but you can only have one I guess on idol.
But who knew that Susan was bat shit crazy and had to be handled with kid gloves....
I love Simon and Garfunkel though....maybe Simon is going back to singing with Mr. Garfunkel....
Sorry there, Goldie... You snuck in. Happy Tuesday to you. It is Tuesday, isn't it?
Tina.....
You are soooooo very pretty!
I will totally miss Simon.. I will not miss Ditzy Paula tho.. American Idol will not be the same, I bet American Idol only lasts one more season. X Factor is going to be the new "in" show..
BTW is X Factor like a mixture of talent? or just singing?
Simon looks good in that pic!
Yes, Yes, Yes.. I will def be watching AI tonite.. I am excited for the new season...
Tina.. did I tell ya you are sooooo very pretty.. :O)
Goldie..
Audits scare me.. even tho I would have nothing to hide, I will still be scared.. Good Luck...
Bonachichi....lol.....I didn't think of that!!
But I don't know if I could get through the auditions without physically harming some of those idiots......
Plus...that Ellen is too sweet....I very well could possibly slap the shit out of her......I love her...but you have to be brutally honest with these kids that have these huge dreams.....
I guess if they would let me carry my gun....oh no...what am I saying......I would be satisfied with a stun gun with wires long enough to reach the stage....no fuss...no muss....just carry them off.....
Ya know, I have been looking at myself, and I gotta tell ya, I am really the prettiest darn owl in this place, just look at my coloring, and my eyes, oh and my head its so very big, and my tail so cute.. I think I need a pedi tho..
:O)
Waving @ Tina, George, Lynn, Goldie, Bonacci, Dee..
I am off to start my day.. everyone enjoy theirs..
J/L.. (area 51)
Yes, I know he will find a excuse for anything and everything, he already does it. Personally I think he should have immed went into rehab, but its finances are so bad, he can't take the chance of losing his house, so he is seeing a bankruptcy lawyer tomorrow, hopefully the lawyer can put some kind of stay on his creditors..
It really is such a big mess..
Shirley..
Sorry about the vid yesterday, I think J/L had a issue to. I am thinking it has to do with it being a NBC vid.. strange tho..
Dianne.. (area 51)
You bring up a good point about the staff @ Conans show.. I again will say, they should have left everything as is..
Ok.. off I go...
Tina: I've never watched Idol on a regular basis, but I like the products sometimes! As in Adam Lambert. Huz and I listened to his debut album on the way back from Palm Springs, and liked it! We listened to Susan Boyle's debut album too, and I liked it even more.
I wonder if they'll do a duet someday! :)
Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle in a duet? Jeez, Whab. You really are twisted.
For those of you who couldn't see yesterday's video, any entity can issue a Take Down notice for any video on YouTube. YouTube immediately takes it down and gives demerits to the poster.
I could post a video of me, with a white wall as a backdrop. No branding, no nothing. I could say not a single word. Just sit there and look stupid. Then Whab could tell YouTube he owns that video. It would be taken down and I'd have to prove it doesn't belong to Whab.
Good Afternoon Everyone!
TINA: I really don't watch AI..but I do think it will be missing a lot without Simon. The few episodes I did watch he was really the judge you waited for, because you never knew exactly what he was going to say..or how he was going to say it.
I've seen some commercials for the new season..and I just might give it a try. Isn't Ellen going to be a judge? I didn't see her on any of the promos..so I wasn't sure. Could be interesting though.
CAROL: I couldn't see the video either yesterday. I don't watch Leno..never liked Conan. I used to watch Letterman..but haven't in a long time. I do like Craig though! I'm old school I guess..always loved Johnny Carson..damn that was a long time ago..lol..

TINA: Congrats on 1~ and prettiest! :D
LYNN: Omg..you would make a GREAT TV analyst!
GOLDIE: I'm the same way..there are about 4 shows I really like..and somehow I miss them 50% of the time. Congrats on passing the inspection..I'm sure you'll do great on the audit!
DEEDEE: Susan is bat shit crazy? Ok..what did I miss?
BONACHI: I agree..DEEDEE would make a great judge on AI..on anything really..I know I would watch!
CAROL: There's not a prettier tail around..ijs.. ;)
BEAR: Didn't you think it was just a little too warm for January when you were in PS? These 70's..geez..
Tina I agree. George is the prettiest of the pretty. As for Simon, it just isn't going to be the same, is it? I think his personality really makes the show interesting and his critiques are the most valuable.
LynnD I would like to be a TV critic. Then again, that means I'd have to watch some of the moronic shows that I cannot believe ever made it on the air. It might be torture....so, nevermind.
Goldie What a bummer that they will audit your office because it is conveniently located the closest to their office. At least you know everything will be fine, although disruptive.
Bonach What an excellent idea to have DeeDee be an Idol judge! I'd even tune in to the early episodes that I usually skip.
DeeDee LMAO @ using a stun gun on the contestants! Some of them need it, that's for sure. And just think of the fun to watch them jerk around on the floor! It would be top-notch entertainment with plenty of laughs!
Carol Your owl is the cutest of the cute. :)
Bear Maybe Adam could help Susan with her eye makeup. LOL
Zona I'm an Ellen fan so I'll enjoy seeing her as a judge. Since she has a daily show, I would think she wouldn't join the panel until they get down to the serious auditions in Hollywood.
That's it. I'm going to be a plumber. A leaky valve on my sink. $6 in parts (including a lifetime supply of plumber's grease) and 4 hours labor. Those guys can make a fortue!
Back to Simon, the X Factor in the U.S.? I have seen the British version of this show and was underwhelmed. It was a general talent show.
The Brits seem to have an appreciation for "ridiculous" that we don't.
Remember the Camilla phone convo about Charlie wanting to be a tampon? Only a Brit would think to say something like that. Quite imaginative, if you ask me.
Zona......Susan breaks down over the pressure and I can't say I am surprised at her being thrust into world fame the way she was.....ummm......thrust....I like that word.....
She has been know to throw very scary tantrums after which she assumes the fetal position and sucks her thumb while calling out for her pussy....Pebbles....
However I think a duet with Susan and Adam could be fantastic.....I'd love to hear them do "The Prayer" or something great from Broadway like...oh I don't know.....maybe "Don't do Sadness/Blue Wind" or "Elaborate Lives" from Aida...a new rendition of "Over the Rainbow"....
there are dozens of possibilities...
Bonach Seems like The X Factor would just be a duplicate of America's Got Talent. How boring! Speaking of British humor, I love the old show Fawlty Towers starring John Cleese. it's hysterical! I have those on DVD.
DeeDee I'm invisioning Adam and Susan singing "Some Enchanted Evening" on opposite sides of a stage then running into each other's arms at the end. LOL
Lin, I believe they're similar. I don't know why, but I think of America's Got Talent as a British show. Maybe because of Sharon Osbourne?
I just read on the net that Conan is not willing to move The Tonight Show to 12:05 as it has always been on after the 11:00 news.
I will miss Simon. He may be crude and rude, but he is terribly funny. And I think he usually does make the right call, but often in the wrong manner.
Why doesn't Jay move to 12:35...after the Tonight Show?? Actually, didn't Jay want to retire, reason behind Conan taking over? Then he changed his mind, reason behind the 10 oclock show. As much as I like Jay, (and don't like Conan) he made his bed and he should lay in it.
Ohh, I am bitchy tonight!!!
JUST LIN...I wouldn't be surprised if Conan goes to FOX. Apparently his contract states the show can be moved back as far as 12:05...and he signed that contract.
I think Andy Richter is a jinx! He left Conan and the ratings improved. He got one sitcom after another and they all flopped!
Wait. You guys don't know this?
Jay never wanted to retire. NBC forced him out because they felt they needed to appeal to a younger demographic. Jay was fired and Conan was his replacement.
NBC didn't anticipate the uproar this caused. Without admitting to making a mistake, they invented the 10:00 show. I thought Jay was an idiot for signing on to do it. I'd have liked to see him pull a "Letterman", switch networks and kick some ass.
Now, Camp Letterman, which includes your beloved Craig Ferguson, is laughing all the way to the bank. Problem is, Conan and Craig are friends; hard to be happy about your friend's life being shitcanned.
It's all NBC's mess. They went and took the only timeslot that was working for them and screwed it up.
Karma is such an unforgiving bitch.
Oh, and I would like to go on the record as liking Conan. I've been happy with the way things have been. On the rare occasion when I watch my TV on the actual TV, I can watch Conan, then switch over to Craig.
I've had a minor miracle here. Since the conversion to HDTV,I haven't been able to get FOX. No House ;( and I thought no AI. Well, tonight I got FOX!!!
Watching AI
;)
Bonach I did know that NBC promised The Tonight Show to Conan after X number of years on the Late Night Show and that Jay was being shoved out. Basically, the network screwed this whole thing up royally.
MO Hallelujah!
Just_Lin; It won't be the first or last time a network screws up.
All this studio crap is concentrated right in the Burbank area. I used to work full-time in that geographic area. Now when I have a client there, all you have to do is go out to lunch to hear all this.
Good evening everyone and good night!
(((HUGS))) for Sandie and her family.
I like Simon. He doesn't tell you that you may have some talent when you don't like Paula did. He has crossed the line on more than one ocassion. I really like Ellen and I look forward to seeing her as a judge. I'm not sure she will work out yet, but I hope so.
I haven't slept since Sunday night, so I'm off to bed. Nighty night!
I will try to keep this generic.... There was a wonderboy working at a network that will remain nameless. He turned it on its' ear and created some great programming, which is still broadcast today.
He hired some male strippers to demonstrate first amendment rights by swinging their helicopters during an executive meeting, which went over as well as can be expected. He survived, but he did get fired.
Finally, the parent company hired him to run another network under the conglomerate, and he's rockin' that like nobody's business.
I learned all that over a chopped chicken salad.
If Ellen's going to be the nice one on Idol, who's going to take over as the villain? Piers Morgan comes to mind. I've come to like Piers, but the only time I ever liked Simon was when someone surprised him by being good.
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair;
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Let me taste your ware"
Said the pieman to Simple Simon "Show me first your penny"
Said Simple Simon to the pieman "Sir, I have not any!"
Simple Simon went a-fishing for to catch a whale;
All the water he had got was in his mother's pail.
Simple Simon went to look if plums grew on a thistle;
He pricked his fingers very much which made poor Simon whistle.
He went for water in a sieve but soon it all fell through;
And now poor Simple Simon bids you all "adieu"
Oh my sooo X Factor is a mush mosh of talent??? hmmm.. don't really like that..
I just read the statement Conan released.. wow.. very well said..
Rosie just updated her page, and kinda gives the "finger" to Jay and NBC and gives Kudos to Conan, she called him the "Jedi Knight" she put Conan's statement on her blog..
This is getting interesting....
And speaking of Rosie.. she has a new girlfriend.. I guess her and Kelly have def moved on.. I gotta tell ya, I truly thought her and Kelly were in it for life.. shocked the shit out of me..
Shirley..
Oh my.. you are pulling all niters, put those super soakers away and get some sleep..
Mo...
Hooray on seeing AI on Fox.. I am so looking forward to a new season..
Bebbi..
lol on your Simple Simon, I remember that rhyme.. :O)
Bonacci..
Just one question. Was the chopped Chicken Salad good?
:O)
Yes, I agree with all that said NBC is a mess.. cause it def is..
Mo.. You are not bitchy at all, Jay should take it like a man and bow out!
Sooo funny.. Jimmy Kimmel is dressed up as Jay Leno while he is doing his monologue.. LOL
oh my....I just finished watching AI~ Can I just say....it ain't gonna make it w/o Simon~ And that HOT Mormon boy....oh my!!! Love the 16 yr olds~ :)~
bon: I dunno... I kind of like the duet idea! DeeDee had some good suggestions...
CAROL...Jimmy Kimmel was hilarious in his monologue!
I just read that Leno is mad as hell at NBC and he too may leave the network. He feels he has been made the fall guy and the reason that Conan is out of a job. And he also doesn't trust NBC that if he does move to 11:30 and the rating dont improve right away he will get axed. Such a mess.
TINA...I don't remember the Mormon boy. I liked Justin. I'm gonna miss Simon!
