Simon’s contract with the FOX ratings juggernaut runs out at the conclusion of the next season of Idol, which kicks off Jan. 12, and entertainment buzz is abound that Cowell will be quitting TV’s most-watched show to star in an American adaptation of his UK smash The X Factor.

Piers Morgan has 2-1 odds of stepping into the shoes filled by Britain’s “Mr. Nasty” since 2002, according to online gambling site Bookmaker.com. Outspoken Bad Boy Records boss Diddy is the second favorite celeb at 3-1 odds, followed by music legend Quincy Jones at 31/2-1.

The list also includes Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds at 4-1, Simon Fuller at 6-1, Rob Stevenson at 6-1, and Russell Simmons at 61/2-1.
