Simon Cowell Wants Paula Abdul And Cheryl Cole On The X Factor

This is a genius idea!

Now that Simon Cowell is done with American Idol - well, after this year! - he's currently in discussions with Paula Abdul and his X Factor UK co-star Cheryl Cole to be judges on the American version of the show, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

What a perfect combo! Simon will bring the bitchiness, Paula the heart and Cheryl the hottness. I know I'll be watching!

But does this mean the end of American Idol? Poor Ryan Seacrest!
