His new book, to be titled "I Don't Mean to be Rude, But...," is set to be published Dec. 2 in the United States and Canada by Broadway Books, an imprint of the Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group under the Random House division of Bertelsmann AG . Co-authored by his older brother, British journalist Tony Cowell, the book will provide an insider's view of "American Idol" from the judge who helped make the show a hit with his acerbic, withering opinions of contestants vying on national TV to be instant pop stars. The book also will chronicle the British-born Cowell's 25-year career as a manager and executive in the recording industry and offer practical tips for making it big in the music business, said his literary agent, Luke Janklow, who negotiated the publishing deal.
