Simon Cowell is in talks with Fox to bring his show X-Factor to the US according to
The Hollywood Reporter. Simon’s American Idol contract is up this year and part of what they say he is negoitiating with Fox is not only that he would stay on Idol for 2 years, but that they would also add X-Factor to the lineup. The reality show mogul would make a rumored $50 million a season each for both shows. (I’m sorry, but WTF does someone need to earn $100 million a season for? And I do mean him too. No one in the world is worth that amount of money.) Now back to X-Factor, THR is also reporting that Paula Abdul is a candidate to Judge the show if Fox picks it up. Oh wait dealing with Paula again might be the reason why he is asking for that much money!
