Simon Cowell was a guest for the hour on "Piers Morgan Tonight," and he opened up about leaving "American Idol," his new show "The X Factor," fame, family and much more.

He also responded to criticism from Elton John, who took a shot recently at competition shows. "I don't know whether he's concerned about himself, maybe it is, they always bleat on about 'we're not giving other people a chance,'" he told Piers Morgan. "They're only worried about themselves."
