Cowell sells duets show to Fox

Simon Cowell has reportedly sold the US rights to his celebrity duets TV format to Fox TV, which has given a conditional order for an American version.

Talking of telly, Simon Cowell has reportedly sold his celeb duets TV format to Fox TV. Cowell reportedly sold UK rights to the show, which will partner off non-music stars with singers who will then perform duets together, to ITV late last year. Fox will make an American version of the programme.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox TV has given a "cast contingent order" for the show - ie they'll take it subject to the line up of celebs Cowell's team can recruit. They'll need quite a few celebs to take part, of course - singers, non-singers and judges. Cowell himself is unlikely to appear on the show, rather he'll take an Exec Producer role via his company Syco.
