I don’t know how seriously to take this story, but apparently showbiz agent, Max Clifford has revealed that the gorgeous kids on this years series of Britain’s Got Talent have made our very own Mr Cowell broody.
Not only does Simon want to settle down with Terri Seymour and have kids, but apparently he has also promised to name his first born after his agent, Max Clifford.
‘I had a chat with Simon tonight and he said he was going to call his first son Max after me,’ said Max to the Daily Mirror. Continue reading ‘Simon Cowell To Call First Son Max?‘ »
The wonderfully camp, Bruno Tonioli has revealed that he would love to swap job with Simon Cowell.
He has suggested that he judge on X Factor as a one off while Cowell moves to Strictly Come Dancing and in the process they could try to raise money for charity:
Bruno told The Sun: “We like a bit of a giggle - there is no competition between us. Simon has a lot of ideas for new TV shows and we were discussing swapping jobs - I’ll do X Factor and he’ll do Strictly.
“It would be for charity, perhaps Children In Need. It would be funny. Simon, I’ll give you a rest - put your feet up!” Continue reading ‘Bruno Tonioli Wants To Swap Jobs With Simon Cowell‘ »
Jay Black over at the TV Squad has written a great article on why he thinks our Simon Cowell should be awarded the job of American President.
Some of Jay’s reasons are inspired and truly hilarious, for example:
1. He’s trusted.
Unlike so many politicians, people actually care what Simon has to say. Admit it, those of you who TiVo American Idol: If you’re pressed for time, you’ll not only fast forward through the commercials, but also Randy and Paula’s comments.
and:
5. He’s a smoker.
While, on the surface it would seem that this is a character flaw, think of this: for the last forty years, we’ve had presidents bowing to the tobacco interests because they needed the campaign money. For the first time in my adult life, we’d have a president bowing to the tobacco interests because he wanted to. Sure, it won’t make you feel any better when you watch your loved ones dropping like coughing, hacking flies, but afterwards, when the anger starts to set in, you can find some solace in the fact that our president is headed for the same fate.
But my favourite has to be: Continue reading ‘Simon Cowell For American President!‘ »
Primeval star, Douglas Henshall has blasted X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell as “terrible people”, and he doesn’t hold their TV show in high regard either!
Henshall, who plays Nick Cutter in ITV’s Primeval, told The Times: “It [Primeval] is old-fashioned entertainment and, if there is more of that in the world, we might get TV back from the clutches of terrible people like Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne. Their shows are one step removed from lions and Christians.”
X Factor judge Simon Cowell has admitted that he has installed a telescope in his LA mansion so that he can spy on his rich and famous mansion.
Simon was inspired by the iconic seventies movie ‘10’, where Dudley Moore’s character did exactly the same thing.
He told The Mirror, “I saw that Dudley Moore film and it was great. Afterwards, I got a telescope installed in my kitchen so I can spy on people.
“I look out over the Hollywood Hills into my neighbours’ gardens. It’s an amazing view. It isn’t powerful enough to see into their homes - so you can’t see them in the shower - but you can see into their gardens.
“It’s great fun. I just like to keep an eye on what is happening.”
I was quite surprised to hear that Simon Cowell had called this years season of American Idol “dull”, as compared to the X factor I think it is almost as exciting as bungee jumping off The Empire State Building!
Cowell told The Sun: “To be honest with you I’m really not enjoying the current American Idol season. It actually reminds me of the last X Factor series we did. It’s just a bit dull.”
I’m not really sure how Simon can compare the two TV talent shows without laughing. Any of the people that were kicked out of American Idol last week, could easily have won last year’s X Factor. Continue reading ‘Simon Cowell Thinks American Idol Is Dull!‘ »
Motown man group, Boyz To Men have been busy defending music moghul, Simon Cowell against criticisms that he is too harsh on shows like X Factor and American Idol.
Wanya, Shawn and Nathan told Now Online: “We love Simon. He’s not always right, but his approach is dead on. He’s the most truthful. You have to be very straightforward in this business.
“You gotta learn to speak your mind because if not you get cluttered with everybody else. Eventually you start lying and you don’t have an identity anymore.” Continue reading ‘Simon Cowell Finds Some Friends In Boyz To Men‘ »
X Factor judge, Simon Cowell has revealed that he was mightily insulted to be asked to be the face of a new viagra advertising campaign.
Cowell told Glamour magazine: “Last year my agent rang me and said ‘You’ve been offered an incredibly big (£1 million) deal. It’s to be the face of Viagra’.
“And I just said ‘Sorry, but that has to be a f****** insult’.”
Maybe Terri’s been kissing and telling!
Dannii Minogue has been given a substantial pay rise for another year on ITV’s X Factor, Simon Cowell confirmed.
“Dannii will get a pay rise this time,” Cowell told The Mirror. “They usually do after the second series - plus she deserves it.”
Cowell also revealed that Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne have both been offered their jobs back, though he admits he has not spoken to Sharon about recent rumours that she is not coming back.
“Sharon is a handful, but she’s what makes the show interesting,” he explained. “If someone doesn’t want to come back then that’s their decision. I’m not going to get into this whole firing thing again after last time.”
He continued:
“Backstage was the real show - my God, yes. Continue reading ‘X Factor: Dannii Minogue Gets Pay Rise‘ »

Singer and TV personality Sinitta has revealed that Simon Cowell is a very bad influence on her two adopted children.
Sinitta told The Sun:
“Simon’s their godfather, I wanted him to feel included.”
“He’s a destructive influence, though! He’s made it his sole purpose to disrupt and undermine everything I have taught them!
“When there’s something they don’t want to eat, Simon will take it and spit it out on the floor, so of course they copy him.”
Sinitta seems to have kept herself in the public eye for the last few years, purely by piggy backing on Mr Cowells success and by selling stories on her famous ex-boyfriend. If I was Simon, and if Sinitta is half as annoying in real life as she is on TV, I think I would start to freeze her out!
