PASADENA, Calif. -Simon Cowell, the acerbic Brit who has helped give "American Idol" some of its sharpest — and nastiest — moments, will leave the hit TV singing contest after this season.

The cantankerous judge said Monday that "The X Factor," a talent show he created and which is popular in Britain, will join Fox's schedule next year. Cowell will be a judge on "The X Factor" and its executive producer.

The Australian spin off has been going down hill for a while, Jazzy, and has been ditched this year, Jazzy. Brilliant concept - and I've enjoyed the program. Simon Cowell has, I expect, done very well out of this - I too heard he was moving on.
