Sharon Osbourne Quits The X-Factor

Sharon Osbourne has just announced that she's going to step down as a judge on the hit UK talent show, The X Factor.

In a statement, Sharon thanked the cast and crew and show creator Simon Cowell and "the wonderful British public for their enormous support."

The producers of the show haven't released an official statement about her departure yet. No one knows why she's stepping down after devoting 4 years to the show. It's not like she needs the money so we're guessing early retirement?
