Music mogul Simon Cowell's ex-girlfriend Terri Seymour has urged him to cut back on his workload insisting he is too old to maintain his hectic schedule.

Cowell, who turns 50 this year, has reportedly been offered $143.6 million to continue his role as a judge on "American Idol" once his contract runs out next May, reports imdb.com.

Seymour however fears the star won't have time to enjoy his riches because he's too busy striving after big bucks to have a social life and she feels her former lover who fronts "Idol" as well as British shows "X Factor" and "Britain's Got Talent" will have to give up some of his work commitments in the near future.

"I think all his work is tiring Simon out and he's finding it hard. He'd hate me saying this but he's not as young as he used to be," she said.

"He's got such a tough schedule and at some point one of the shows will have to give. We'll just have to wait and see which one," she added.

This year alone Cowell has started filming "X Factor" auditions straight after completing "Britain's Got Talent" and a recent season of "American Idol".
