COWELL'S EX BEGS HIM TO QUIT TV SHOW

SIMON COWELL's ex-girlfriend TERRI SEYMOUR is pleading with her former beau to cut back on his workload - insisting he is too old to maintain his hectic schedule.
The music mogul, who turns 50 this year (09), has reportedly been offered $143.6 million (£87.6million) to continue his role as a judge on American Idol once his contract runs out next May (10).
But Cowell's TV host ex fears the star won't have time to enjoy his riches - because he's too busy striving after big bucks to have a social life.
And the beauty believes her former lover - who fronts Idol, as well as U.K. shows X Factor and Britain's Got Talent - will have to give up some of his work commitments in the near future.
She says, "I think all his work is tiring Simon out and he's finding it hard. He'd hate me saying this but he's not as young as he used to be.
"He's got such a tough schedule and at some point one of the shows will have to give. We'll just have to wait and see which one."
This year alone Cowell (09) has started filming X Factor auditions - straight after completing Britain's Got Talent, and a recent season of American Idol.
