Simons Settle

Simon Fuller and Simon Cowell have apparently reached a settlement in the lawsuit Fuller and his company 19 Entertainment brought against Cowell. Fuller had accused the popular American Idol judge of copying the format of the Idol series, launched in 2001 with the British Pop Idol, with the creation of Cowell's The X Factor.

"I am happy that we have been able to sort out our differences and find an amicable solution to our problems," said Cowell, who has apparently signed a 5-year deal to appear on American Idol following the settlement.

"This means we can go forward and concentrate on working together for the next five years on developing other successful projects," he added in a statement released by his agent.
