Simon Cowell Still an Idol
Rumors that Simon Cowell wouldn't be on American Idol this season were just that: rumors. Fox announced earlier today the king of insults will be back for this season -- and many seasons to come.
This news comes with the settlement of a lawsuit against Cowell by another British music mogul Simon Fuller. The copyright infringement lawsuit -- Fuller said Cowell copied the format of his Pop Idol for Cowell's X-Factor -- was reportedly preventing Fox from signing a deal to keep Cowell on Idol. Fuller and Cowell settled their suit out of court.
