Simon Cowell biography (bio): Simon Cowell is an English artist and repertoire ("A&R") executive for Sony BMG in the United Kingdom, but is known as a judge on television programmes such as Pop Idol, The X Factor, American Idol and Britain's Got Talent. Cowell is notorious for his unsparingly blunt and often controversial criticisms, insults, and wisecracks about the contestants. He is known for combining activities in the television and music industries, having produced singles and records for various television characters. According to AOL News as posted on August 21, 2007, a reporter for the British newspaper The Mirror conducted an interview with Cowell in mid-August where he claimed that he would complete the three seasons remaining on his contract with American Idol and then "that was it." Cowell explained, "There has to come a point when I will step down from being on camera and remain behind the scenes because you can't keep doing this forever...I think by [the end of my contract] that the public will be sick to death of me anyway and it will be time to go."
