SIR PHILIP GREEN

ALMOST FAMOUS
The X Factor to Go Viral in Vegas

Simon Cowell's American Idol contract is up after this season and with Paula already gone and the additions of Kara DioGuardi and Ellen Degeneres as judges, the Brit brute's future on the show post-2010 is unknown. One thing is known though, and that is Idol or not, Cowell plans on bringing his hit British reality show The X Factor to the States sometime soon. The X Factor has already produced spin-offs in 19 other countries and launched the careers of stars like Leona Lewis, but Cowell's current Idol contract has kept him from launching the rival singing show in America.

GLAM DAMN IT
New Designer at TopShop

No, Kate Moss isn’t being replaced at TopShop, but she does need to play nice and make room for another potential designer to work alongside her. Rumor has it pop diva Christina Aguilera is being courted by TopShop mastermind Sir Philip Green to create clothing lines to sell alongside Moss’. Aguilera has been to Green’s office in London, and the two are currently working out the details – a meager 1 million pounds per line has been reported. Green thinks Aguilera will appeal to a different and younger crowd, as she is glam pop and Moss is rocker chic. The two will compliment each other nicely and appeal to a wider range of shoppers. No word on when the new line will hit stores.
