I was bored about American Idol says Simon Conwell

Popular for his straight and sarcastic judgments at the American Idol

Simon Cowell couldn't wait to be free of American Idol, the show that brought him fame and fortune. He says ‘I used to wake up and think, I just wish I could do what I used to do—put a cup of tea on my head and pretend I'd got a fever’. In a frank interview with American GQ magazine, the X Factor supremo admits that observations in the media that he looked bored in the last few seasons of Idol were accurate. 'I was bored,' he reveals. 'But at the same time, I had a deal with Fox, and you've got to do what you've been paid to do.'
