According to The Sun, Simon Cowell has stopped chart topping X-Factor winner Shayne Ward from working with Robbie Williams. The tabloid reports that Williams wanted Shayne to fly to LA so they could write and record together, but Cowell wouldn't let it happen, because he's the boss. The decision didn't go down too well with Shayne's manager Louis Walsh.
Mr. A Source said: "Simon Cowell was not overly happy about Robbie working with Shayne so soon after the show. He worries Shayne will get too big for his boots. Louis loved the idea. He really wanted Shayne to go to LA and write with Robbie - but ultimately Simon can over-rule any decisions over Shayne's career."
