20091223-cowell.jpg"They all start somewhere," so say the new American Idol ads making the rounds (and, in my case, giving me the chills) lately. One thing that it doesn't mention: it ends somewhere, too. Somehow. Soon.

I don't mean to sound too gloopy, but I was thinking of just that after hearing someone else say that Simon Cowell is planning to leave Idol after this season. Sure, the rumor's been making the rounds especially since his contract was still up for renewal at the time. We've long forgotten that when all indicators pointed at Simon returning, with a much bigger paycheck than before. But, if the shirt-toting Brit's brother is to be believed, this year would be the last we'll see of him.
