Simon Cowell Says He Was “Protecting” Cheryl Cole By Kicking Her Off X-Factor
It probably shouldn’t be a surprise that Simon Cowell‘s public apology after firing Cheryl Cole from the American X Factor is more than a little condescending.

Jessica Simpson Wants On X Factor, But Simon Wants Nicole Scherzinger
