Simon Cowell is leaving "American Idol"; Paula Abdul and Simon for X Factor

It was announced last year that "Mr. Nasty" Simon Cowell is leaving "American Idol" after season nine and that news is now officially confirmed!! Simon is eying to pursue the American version of X Factor and he reportedly tapping the services of former AI judge Paula Abdul to join him. Paula allegedly inked $4.5 million contract.

National Enquirer’s Mike Walker: “Simon flew Paula to London and wined and dined her relentlessly over the course of several days, even introducing her to everyone who works on X Factor. But what really clinched the deal was Simon’s pledge that she wouldn’t have to deal with all the nonsense and infighting that she hated on Idol.”

Simon will be the judge and executive producer on FOX's upcoming American version of "The X Factor" and it will premiere in fall 2011.
