Simon Cowell’s “X Factor” Called Equivelant of “wrestling” By Simon Fuller
IF you don’t know who Simon Fuller is, he is basically considered Cowell’s arch-rival for the month.
Fuller is pissed that Cowell is quitting American Idol after sealing a £100million deal to take the show to the US.
But he insisted that Idol will survive the TV star’s exit because the show has a “boxing-type” purity and is only about talented singers.
“I want Idol to be purely about talent,” stormed Fuller. “We’re not going to be led into the mud, we’re going to stay on our hill.” Too late…way to take the high road, and just nose dive straight into the mud bowl. Maybe you can say how all his guests are fat people and need belly fat reduction next?
But Fuller is known to resent Cowell’s success – and his livewire personality. “Fuller has got brains and instinct but has the personality of a wet weekend in Hastings,” said an insider, adding: “Cowell has the lot.”
Cowell has been nothing but complimentary of everyone still connected with American Idol. He released a statement saying how much he enjoyed his time on the show and wished them every success.
The source added: “This could get very messy.” Team Cowell last night refused to comment. A US telly source added: “It seems Mr Fuller has a lot of issues which he needs to work through.” US X Factor debuts in 2011 with Cowell as a judge and Cheryl Cole his probable sidekick.
