Lane Bryant’s new commercial featuring busty plus size models wearing only their bra’s will finally air on Fox. This comes after Lane Bryant accused both Fox and ABC of refusing to air their commercials yet aired Victoria Secret commercials on the same spots. Fox and ABC both denied those accusations. Fox sources said that the reason for the delay was that Lane Bryant refused to comply with the requested edits to the commercial to ensure complaince with Fox’s standards for the time slot (American Idol). ABC made the following statement: “Their statements are not true. The ad was accepted. Lane Bryant was treated absolutely no differently than any advertiser for the same product. We were willing to accommodate them, but they chose to seek publicity instead.”

Fox Plans More ‘Idol’ W/O Simon

Fox is near a deal to order more seasons of “American Idol” — with or without its most popular judge, Simon Cowell.

The network’s current contract with “Idol” producers 19 Entertainment and FremantleMedia extends through the end of the 2011. But the network is working on a new deal that includes three more seasons of “Idol,” though that number could change.

An announcement is expected to demonstrate Fox’s commitment to its top-rated series, even as “Idol” faces its biggest challenge yet.

The “Idol” franchise has been rocked by rumors that Cowell will depart the show after the upcoming season as he prepares to bring his hit UK music competition series “X-Factor” to the United States.

Cowell’s brother Tony announced Tuesday on his weekly podcast that Simon will leave “Idol” at the end of 2010. The move could have a double impact on “Idol” — the loss of a key personality to the series, and the addition of another music competition show on Fox that may lead to fewer “Idol” viewers.

But before anything is finalized at the network, the “Idol” judge still needs to sign his new contract with “Factor” owner Sony. Once that’s out of the way, Sony will allow Cowell to make a deal with Fox to bring “Factor” stateside.
