Tony Cowell, the author and radio journalist-brother of Simon, says this season will be Simon Cowell’s last on “American Idol,” The New York Times reports.

On his Dec. 19 podcast, Tony Cowell 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.”

Simon Cowell, also interviewed in the podcast, didn’t comment.

That's too bad. I can't see American Idol without him. Hopefully, they'll find someone just as good to take his place.

No Paula Abdul, please!

Not really surprising. I can't blame the judges for staying this long watching the awful auditions.
