TV star Simon Cowell is being wooed by an "American cosmetics giant" to launch his own range of toiletries. The American Idol judge's fragrant deal is still in the discussion stages, but his representative claims the deal is under "serious consideration."

A source says, "Simon has been approached by an American cosmetics giant to put his name to a whole range of products as well as a perfume. He's been offered a vast sum of money to do the deal."

Publicist Max Clifford confirms, "Yes, it's true that he is in talks at the moment. The deal is under serious consideration. As I understand, the products would be very distinctive - earthy, in black packaging. Anything Simon puts his name to is bound to generate huge interest."
