COWELL'S SECRET PLAN TO LAUNCH X FACTOR WINNER

Music mogul SIMON COWELL is reportedly paving the way for THE X FACTOR winner LEONA LEWIS to break America, having sealed a string of high-profile TV appearances for the British unknown.

Leona Lewis at The UK premiere of 'Flushed Away', held at Empire cinema, Leicester Square. London, England - 23.11.06

Cowell is determined to help Lewis, who won the British TV talent contest last night (16DEC06), rocket to the top of the US charts - and he has met with American entertainment bosses to put together a $1 million (GBP500,000) promotional campaign for the 21-year-old singer.

Lewis will reportedly appear on US TV talent show AMERICAN IDOL, THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO and ELLEN in a bid to wow American audiences.

A source tells Scottish newspaper the Sunday Mail, "He sees her as being on a par with past winners of American Idol which, coming from him, is praise indeed.

"Plans to launch Leona were under way long before last night's final - it is being run like a military operation."
