Simon to quit The X Factor?
Thursday 25 June 2009
The revelation that Simon Cowell is planning to launch a children's empire may threaten his role as a judge on The X Factor - possibly making this year's edition his last.
The music mogul, 49, has been a judge on The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent since they began, with further stints on America's Got Talent and American Idol.
However, Simon has joined forces with Topshop owner Sir Philip Green with the hope of launching a children's empire 'to rival Disney.'
The entrepreneurial pair have been friends for over a decade, and reportedly want to make the brand 'bigger than Disney.'
But insiders fear that such a huge workload - as well as heading up his management company SyCo - will mean Simon won't have the time to be an X Factor judge.
Simon's had a love/hate role in the show, with advice that's spot-on, but often hard for the potential singers to swallow.
While we love Cheryl, Dannii and Louis, we don't think it would be quite the same without Simon!
Would you watch The X Factor without Simon? Who should replace him?

Simon is what gives the show balance. Cheryls the cute one. Danni's the suck-up. And Louis is the one everyone loves to hate. We need our Mr Nasty.

No way he's what makes the show as for Danni being a suck up i hardly think so Cheryl's just been over-hyped to boost the ratings. Yes she's gorgeous to look at but thats about it if anything shes the one that sucks up to Simon always giving him the butter wouldnt melt looks
