Update On Simon Cowell Leaving American Idol

According to TMZ, the man who created American Idol wrote a letter announcing Simon Cowell leaving the show. He explained that, it will be "in the same vein as 'Idol.'" He's basically trying to say that Simon is knocking them off as he leaves American Idol to judge on the show 'The X Factor'. I've heard that this show, The X Factor, doesn't have a age limit, unlike American Idol. It's also a singing competition. If I were the maker of American Idol and my main judge was leaving for a very similar show, I would be mad too. He still congratulated for moving to his new show, which he now owns...good for you Simon.
