simon cowell is quitting idol

Paying him 144 million dollars for the upcoming season wasn’t enough to stop Simon Cowell from wrecking ‘American Idol’. He announced today that this season will be his last, and after that he will instead be a judge on a new Fox show called ‘The X-Factor’, which is essentially the exact same thing as ‘American Idol’ except Simon owns it.

This is the same course Simon followed in the UK. He began as a judge on ‘Pop Idol’ (the show ‘American Idol’ is based on) in 2001, then left in 2004 to judge … wait for it … ‘The X Factor’. ‘Pop Idol’ is now off the air.

This raises a lot of interesting questions. I’m joking of course, so instead here are a bunch of pictures from this weekends Adult Video News Awards in Vegas. These really do raise some interesting questions, including, “Is that a guy?”, and “Is that a guy?”, and “Holy shit was I masturbating to a guy?”
