Shed Productions (the company behind Footballers Wives), along with Simon Cowell's company, Syco TV, will produce a new drama series called Rock Rivals for ITV in the UK. The fictional drama will revolve around two celebrity judges on a TV talent show whose marriage crumbles into a "War of the Roses" feud, both onscreen and off.
Simon is excited about the show, and thinks the "idea is brilliant." He describes the show as "X Factor meets Dallas."
Brian Park, of Shed Productions, is thrilled Simon is onboard with the project. He believes Simon will provide "unique insight" based on his own celebrity judging experience.
Because of Simon's high profile involvement in American Idol, the producers hope that an American version of the show will eventually be made. The series begins shooting this summer.

Yes Simon has a sharp tongue at times, but he's got what it takes to do his job. He's sharp, intelligent, and that smile gets me every time. Anyone with a smile like his cannot be all bad. Go SIMON!!!

Sounds like nothing more than the "Life and Times of Paula and Cowell". Not interested... AT ALL.
