Here's the Scoop....

Old rivalries and dramas from past seasons of The Bachelor and
The Bachelorette will get new life this year as ABC is creating
a spin-off show in which former contestants will live and
compete together in a Big Brother-style house.

The show, titled Bachelor Pad, will bring back 20 memorable
contestants from the previous 13 Bachelor and five Bachelorette
seasons. It?s expected to premiere in late summer.

?All these people have been friends, been enemies, they date
each other and bring all this great backstory to the show,?
says executive producer Martin Hilton. ?It seemed like there
was an opportunity to combine that world with a new competitive
reality show.?

Now let's get to the rest of the nooz...

Simon Cowell leaving American Idol...

Simon Cowell has announced he's quitting talent show "American
Idol" when the new season ends in May.

Speculation about Simon's future on the show has been rife
for months, with his brother Tony revealing a statement
would be made in the early part of 2010 a month ago.

He said, "A press statement is being prepared which will
confirm what everybody expected: Simon will leave Idol at
the end of 2010 to concentrate on bringing the American
version of (U.K. talent show) X Factor to U.S. TV in 2011."

And now Simon has confirmed the news of his departure on the
eve of the ninth series.

In his statement, Simon reveals he plans to launch his "X
Factor" on U.S. TV in 2011.

The news of the departure comes just months after judge Paula
Abdul quit the show over an alleged pay dispute in August. She
has been replaced by chat show host Ellen DeGeneres.
