Simon Cowell to star in new Netflix docu-series
The 65-year-old music mogul - who has enjoyed huge success with TV shows like The X Factor and America's Got Talent - has joined forces with the streaming giant to create Simon Cowell: The Next Act, a docu-series that will launch later this year.
The logline for the show reads: "What Simon says, goes. And what Simon's saying right now is that the world is in serious need of its next boy band sensation.
"Music mogul and record executive Simon Cowell has single-handedly created some of the biggest music superstars in the world. In the brand-new docuseries Simon Cowell: The Next Act, launching in Dec. 2025, cameras follow him as he sets out to do it once again. From raw open casting calls to the release of the group's debut single, this is an all-access pass for viewers to catch every moment of Cowell's next chapter. Will he strike gold and break industry records once again?"
The docu-series promises to give viewers an "intimate" look at Simon's approach to business.
The music mogul has already enjoyed huge success with the likes of One Direction and Fifth Harmony, and Simon is now keen to find the next big band.
The logline continues: "Reality and music fans alike have watched Cowell build acclaimed bands on television many times before. Since 2001, he has appeared as a judge on several music reality competition series including Pop Idol, American Idol, The X Factor and The X Factor UK, Britain's Got Talent, and America's Got Talent. On these shows, he became infamous for his snarky remarks and harsh critiques. Now, however, viewers will get an even more intimate look at Cowell's process and unparalleled ability to identify and foster talent.
"Through his production company, Syco Entertainment, he has launched the careers of notable pop groups like One Direction, Little Mix, and Fifth Harmony. He also signed successful boy bands like Westlife, PrettyMuch, and CNCO to his record label Syco Music, which Cowell established as a division of Syco Entertainment in 2002 and sold as a wholly-owned subsidiary to Sony Music in 2020. Who will be the next group to join the ranks of these beloved bands?"

Cabello, who shot to fame in 2012 as part of the pop group Fifth Harmony before forging a solo career, is yet to comment on her blossoming relationship. Chalhoub, 39, for his part, is the heir to his family's lucrative Dubai-based luxury fashion distribution company Chalhoub Group.

If I feel it, I say it and I'm not really good at not doing that,' Cabello said at the time. 'I would rather say it and see what happens, and then wake up the next day and see that it's been heavily documented. I opted for that route. It is what it is. It was a great route, it was a fun time. It was a fun moment. 'I will always care about him and love him. He's such a good person and I'm lucky because some people have exes that are awful, and he is not. He's a really kind, good person.'

‘American Idol' boss Robyn Kaye, husband executed in their $7 million home in gory double murder
A boss on 'American Idol' and her husband were executed in a suspected double murder inside their $4.5 million ($6.9 million AUD) Los Angeles home, cops said. Robin Kaye, an award-winning music supervisor for the hit competition show, was found slaughtered along with her musician husband, Thomas Deluca, after an apparent break-in at their house in the upscale Encino neighborhood, a Los Angeles Police Department source told TMZ. Both were 70. The couple's bodies were found during a 'welfare check' Monday afternoon after they had not been heard from in four days, the LAPD said. Both victims had what appeared to be gunshot wounds to the head. 'There is no suspect information at this time. LAFD responded and pronounced the victims deceased at scene. The motive is unknown. The investigation is ongoing,' the department told The Post. Kaye was found dead in the pantry, and Deluca in the bathroom, NBC Los Angeles reported. Officers also found blood in the entryway and a broken window, which the killer possibly used to get inside. The home was apparently not ransacked, pointing away from the possibility of a burglary, authorities told TMZ. Aerial footage of the house from ABC 7 showed what looked like a smashed sliding glass door. The cops were called to the house on Thursday after neighbors spotted a suspicious person hopping the fence, but officers found no evidence of foul play. 'We didn't see or hear anything. My renter called 911 on Thursday because she saw somebody hopping the fence,' neighbor Amee Faggen told ABC 7. Kaye had worked on American Idol for 15 seasons, according to her IMDB page, and won several Guild of Music Supervisors Awards. She worked as the music supervisor on 'Idol' for at least 15 seasons, according to her IMDB page, and she won multiple Guild of Music Supervisors Awards for her work on the show. Kaye also worked on 'Lip Sync Battle,' Miss USA and Miss Universe, among other shows. 'We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband, Tom's, passing,' an 'American Idol' spokesperson told Variety. 'Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came in contact with her. Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathy with her family and friends during this difficult time.' Kaye and Deluca's house last sold for around $4.5 million in 2023, according to Zillow. It was previously owned by rapper Juice WRLD, who died of an accidental overdose in 2019. While most homes along the block are fairly isolated, the couple's is one of the largest and appears to be the most secure, surrounded by huge walls topped with security spikes. Neighbors in the Encino neighborhood told NBC Los Angeles that they've been plagued by frequent break-ins and burglaries over the years. In late May, 'Black-ish' star Anthony Anderson's home was broken into while he was at a charity event. One week later, a jewelry store was robbed by burglars who used blowtorches to open a safe.
