ALSO...EXCLUSIVE TO FAME GAMES you heard it here first: As you know, I was able to sit in during the recording of Simon's Haiti charity single. One thing I found out was that most independent radio stations were destroyed during the earthquake, and this is how people would find out vital information they desparately needed to know during this time. My idea to help these stations and the people was to put together a mini radio documentary of the making of Simon's record...in hope that if radio stations around the world want to air my piece, they could in turn for a small donation that would go to rebuild the independent radio stations in Haiti! Listen here to the sneak peak. Any if you are interested in hearing all the behinds the scenes action, head to this website for further details.

055 Cowell Factor: Who would take Simon's place on American Idol?

American Idol said it would think young and edgy in season 9 - so why allow a 62 year-old to audition in Atlanta? Then came those guest judges….did they work for you? I judge the judges!

Speaking of judges, how many times could Vicotria Beckham say the word "Nice?"

Coming up: When Simon leaves Idol - who would you want to take his place?

Don't miss my Fame Games picks for this week! (check out all these songs at http://www.famegamesradio.com/ and type their names in the search bar).

Listen to the FULL Cowell Factor HERE and find out the latest happening in Cowell World! What's FOX doing about Simon's potential leave? Will anyone really care about American Idol after this season?

Thank goodness FOX will have American X Factor to fall back on. Why? Isn’t this what we’ve always wanted - Paula Abdul and Simon reunited - holding hands and goofing around on TV again?

I genuinely don’t know for sure whether this will happen...as for the rest of the panel...you tell me…because I have a feeling he will go for 4 judges. So…if it were Simon and Paula…then I think he will choose Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh to complete the foursome.

Email this week and tell me who you think would be replace Simon on American Idol AND...what's your dream American X Factor Team tony@famegamesradio.com
