On my recent tour of London goss salons one rumour pops up repeatedly - that Simon Cowell plans to sideline Piers Morgan fom his TV formats. And why? Because Morgan is just too good and more popular than the dark lord himself.
Really? I express doubts to my sources: Morgan has certainly enjoyed a good summer what with his Katie Price audience, his benign duel with Sir Cliff, his toyboy status in the SuBo universe: only today there's news of Cilla breaking down on one of his TV shows, not about bloody Bobby again one hopes. All very impressive. But Cowell has now attained a Gatsby-like status, confirmed by his £1m 50th birthday party the other day, with his co-ownership of ITV a credible reported aim. I conclude this rumour is just horrible mischief.
Then quite by chance I happen on PR-meister
Mark Borkowski's stimulating and always insightful blog where he posits his theory about
Morgan and Cowell. Have a read - scroll down to the Morgan pic on the posting. Borkowski is uniquely a philosopher-PR with I suspect a mystical side. Certainly he's shrewd. But don't tell him. Such praise might go to his head.
I've thought that it must be because Piers knows where the bodies are buried.

Baloney, as Judge Judy would say. Morgan's a good TV performer but not much more. Cowell on the other hand is not only a great TV performer but also a major player. There's simply no competition. If Morgan is to be sidelined it would be for some other reason and I don't think there is a reason.
