Paula Abdul is out and has been replaced as the female judge on “American Idol”, but rumor has it that Simon Cowell is going to be checking out of the singing competition next year, as well.

According to his brother, Tony Cowell, he’s gearing up for retirement from the show.

Tony said, “A press statement is being prepared which will confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave Idol at the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American version of ‘X Factor’ to U.S. TV in 2011.”

I’m not feelin’ that British BS — or as they say, bollocks.
