by David Ciminelli
Having waited tables or shoveled cow poo before becoming pop stars, famous people often don't care to rehash history.

Simon Cowell has opted to leave American Idol at the perfect time: just before it becomes absolutely necessary for him to wear a bra with his omnipresent white T-shirt. Yes, I was able to watch the Season 9 premiere despite the tears, although they came anew each time Simon made comments that were utterly Simon.
