"American Idol": The Movie?

You guys know I loved “From Justin to Kelly,” but even I have to question this one…

Simon Cowell is working on a movie based on “X-Factor” and “Pop Idol.”

Cowell told the “Sun,” “It’s going to be the modern-day version of ‘Fame,’ although set [at] a talent show rather than talent college.”

“Entertainment Weekly” reports that the movie will center around 10 contestants in a singing competition. The leads will be unknowns cast through an audition process Simon will supervise.

Simon is looking for a Summer 2008 premiere, although a studio has yet to take on the project.
