That $9m will soothe Simon Cowell’s ex’s pain

Simon & Teri

Simon Cowell and Terri Seymour are officially over after six years of dating. Six weeks ago, Teri phoned Simon and “finished it up.” The split was said to be amicable. Considering Terri was given $5 million in cash and a Beverly Hills home worth $4.6, she probably won’t hang herself anytime soon.

According to the magazine, Seymour wanted to marry and start a family, whereas Cowell recently said, “I don’t want to marry anyone, because whoever marries me will end up hating me.”

I’d date Simon for $9 million. He may be a pompous jerk, but he’s a rich pompous jerk who’ll likely pay for my silence with large sums of cash. But I’m telling you this now, he’s not getting to third base any time soon. I’m not a slut.

Simon Cowell explains why he’ll never marry - and the answer is not Ryan Seacrest

Simon Cowell recently explained why he and his longtime girlfriend, entertainment journalist Terri Seymour, will never get married. And it’s not because of his bromance with hyperactive American Idol co-star Ryan Seacrest. It’s because he’s afraid of being cleaned out like Paul McCartney.

X-Factor boss Simon Cowell has revealed the real reason he will never marry girlfriend Terri Seymour - because he fears she will “do a Heather Mills on him” and leave him broke.

The music mogul said his partner of five years was “great” but admitted the concept of marriage in the entertainment industry was a scary and unrealistic one.

“I don’t believe in marriage, certainly not in this business,” the 48-year-old told the Mirror.

“The truth is that you get married and in a year or two they clean you out! It’s just not going to work.

“I know a lot of people going through divorces now and once the lawyers get involved it starts to get nasty.”

[From The Daily Mail]

I’m curious…just how much is Simon worth? I know he’s had a successful career managing some pop stars in the UK and creating some shows, but here in the states, his success outside of “Idol” has been limited. As for his concerns about being taken to the cleaners, Terri is no Heather Mills, she has her own successful career and seems to have her own identity and interests outside of the relationship.

In another interesting part of this interview, Simon says that if he were Amy Winehouse’s manager, he would have insisted that the singer enter rehab a lot sooner than she did.

And Cowell left his nicest comments for struggling Amy Winehouse, who he described as “an amazing talent”.

“Given the chance I’d take her on, but I don’t think she’d work with me,” he said.

“If I had been managing her I would have got her into rehab from day one. Then maybe none of this nonsense would have happened.”

I guess hindsight is 20/20, isn’t it?

Note by Celebitchy: According to Wikipedia, Cowell is worth upwards of $200 million. He just bought a mansion that cost $80 million, so I guess we know where his money is going. He also revealed that he turned down a $2 million offer to be the face of erectile dysfunction drug Viagra. That’s chump change to him.

Simon Cowell on Former Idol’s Lost Record Deals

Simon Cowell blames the instability of the music industry on Taylor Hicks, Ruben Studdard and Katharine McPhee losing their record deals.

Recently all three former Idols have been dropped by their labels.

Cowell says that just because you scored a record deal it does not guarantee you a lifelong career.

He says, “It’s a reflection on the unpredictability of the record business. Fortunately, we got it right more than we got it wrong. There’s no scientific way to explain what happens. It’s a reality show and what happens at the end is also reality.”

Cowell adds that the 2007 winners haven’t done as well as he had anticipated either.

“Naturally, I’m disappointed that they didn’t sell more copies or that neither artist has caught on fire. What you want (is) a Carrie (Underwood), Daughtry or Kelly Clarkson, where they’re competing with the Mariahs. It didn’t happen. Am I surprised? Not particularly. The public decided it’s not necessarily what they wanted, so we have to try to do better this year.”

Simon Cowell Is Vain

Source: www.celebitchy.com

spx-015208.jpg
Simon Cowell has always seemed a little odd to me – and the fact he wakes up to an identical breakfast in bed every day confirms his oddity.

“In the morning, I have a very set routine - Brenda, my housekeeper, brings me breakfast in bed, and it’s always the same thing: Porridge, papaya juice, fresh fruit and a smoothie. I read the papers, have a bath, and everything is very calm.”

Don’t you sometimes wake up and think “Gee, I’d rather just have toast this morning” Nope, not Simon Cowell. Are you too lazy to make something else? Can Brenda not make anything else?

Anyway, Simon cheerfully admits to being vain, and having botox, but he hasn’t had plastic surgery.

“Vain? Yeah, I am. But to be honest with you, I can’t think of one person who is on TV who isn’t vain. It’s the nature of the beast. If you are on TV then you have a vanity, for sure. Just admit it! Why not?”

Goodie. We like admissions. Has he had copious cosmetic surgery then? His fellow X Factor judge Louis Walsh thinks he might have had pectoral implants.

“No, absolutely not. I have not had cosmetic surgery,” he sniggers.

Botox then? He sucks his (extraordinarily white) teeth.

“Yes, I’ve had Botox, but not in an obsessive way. Then again, every guy I know who works in the City has had it now.”

And he’s not gay either. Who said he was? Is he starting his own rumours now?

“If I was, why hide it? It’s not as if the music business would be an odd place for a gay man to work. And anyway, if I was trying to hide the fact that I was gay, I would be off playing rugby every Saturday, wouldn’t I?”

The Daily Mail

Rugby players can’t be gay? I thought they could. Well, maybe while you’re out playing rugby you can also drink beer and go fishing - except gay men can do all those things too!

The good news is, Simon says in the interview that he has no plans to procreate. Unfortunately he still intends to make low quality cheap television shows, where he humiliates contestants for entertainment value.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Simon Cowell is shown in the header image at the National Television Awards in London on 10/31/07 with his ex girlfriend, singer Sinitta. Cowell insists that nothing is going on with married Sinitta and that his girlfriend Terryi Seymour is not bothered that they remain friends.Sinitta works as a mentor on Cowell’s British talent show X-Factor.

Simon Cowell Says Britney Loves the Attention She Gets in the Media

Source: www.celebritysmackblog.com

thumbs-cowell.jpgthumbs-brit.jpg

Simon Cowell agrees with me when it comes to Britney Spears. Sheabsolutly loves the attention she gets in the press, good or bad.

Whether she is pantyless, (supposedly) fighting for her children or shaving her hair off, Britney treats it all the same. Like a circus.

Cowell said,

“The biggest stars in the world do not court or need the paparazzi or the buzz. I genuinely am starting to think that she’s enjoying this.”

Starting? Most of us knew this ages ago! Britney has created her own world and is living in this sort of bubble that’s most certainly far, far away from reality.

Straight up, bitch needs help.

Unfortunately she chooses to surround herself with people who enable her to be this way. She’ll never get help unless she ditches…UGH. Let me stop right there. We all know what she needs, and I am tired of saying it.

The end.

Simon Cowell loves the strippers

top-sgs-001774.jpg

Simon Cowell has gone on the record (I’m not sure which record it is… probably the gossip record) to state that he loves the strip clubs. And he’s pretty sure there’s nothing wrong with that – in fact if you don’t like strip clubs, there’s something wrong with you. At least if you’re a guy. Simon says his girlfriend of five years Terri Seymour isn’t exactly a fan of his extra-curricular activities, but seems to accept it. If I were Simon Cowell, I would look in the mirror, look at my messed up hairdo with a part down the middle, and thank high heaven I had such a hot girlfriend. Then I would never do anything to piss her off again.

side-sgg-051897.jpg Music mogul Simon Cowell has defended his weakness for lap-dancing clubs - and insists those who don’t like the scantily-clad cavorting ladies are ‘odd’. The American Idol judge admits his partner of five years, Terri Seymour, isn’t fond of his penchant for lap-dancers, but concedes the experience helps him relax.

And Cowell believes those who don’t like lap-dancing clubs “have a problem”. He says, “I don’t have a problem with saying I like lap-dancers. Nothing wrong with that. If you don’t, you’ve got a bit of a problem.”

“I haven’t got them living in my house. Sometimes I go out with some mates and we have a laugh. Terri’s not exactly doing a dance herself when I say I’m going out with the boys. “But you’ve got to let off a bit of steam occasionally. It’s fun!”

[From NBC affiliate WOAI]

I’m going to reiterate that Simon Cowell is damn lucky, and that’s nothing to trifle with. I’m not a big fan of strip clubs, but I’m also incredibly uptight and old-fashioned. Actually no, but I am in regard to my opinions about strip clubs. My ex-boyfriend once described going to one as “An embarrassing fleshy congress,” and I think that sums it up better than I ever could. Simon Cowell, fix your hair. Please. I can leave the strip club stuff alone, but I can’t stand by and watch a man do a center part – and let him think he’s cool.

Paula Abdul Gives the Scoop on This Year’s American Idol Auditions

Tastes like chicken!

Paula Abdul spoke with People magazine and dished on this years American Idol auditions.

She says that so far she and black sweater wearing Simon Cowell are getting along well, they are just disagreeing on the talent.

Abdul says,

“What’s happening is Randy and I have been agreeing on the talent as he disagrees. He thinks we don’t know what we’re talking about, and the truth is Randy and I do know what we’re talking about. It’s Randy and Paula against Simon. I’m on the winning side!”“In the past couple of cities we’ve had no arguments. He’s still pestering me like hell, but we get along pretty well.”

Randy Jackson says Simon is “cranky” as usual, and that this years contestants are,

“..really, really good, I must say. You still get the crazy buffoonery going on, but for the most it’s been pretty good. I would say somebody with skin and teeth is definitely going to win!”

Abdul agrees.

“Last season, I’m going to be real honest, I wasn’t as excited, I wasn’t sure, I wasn’t certain. As the season progressed it was fun to see how Jordin [Sparks] really came through, and she’s such an amazing kid. This season the auditions [have] some very, very exciting talent. All different—good-looking kids, crazy kids, great back stories, interesting backgrounds, and kids that really went out there, went out on a unique limb to be different and to capture our attention.”

Abdul says there will still be the oddball and zany contestants as usual.

“Oh God, there’s going to be one person who’s probably going to have a bigger career than William Hung, let me tell you!”

Good Celebrity: Simon Cowell saves a life

Source: www.celebitchy.com

top-jtm-017297.jpg

Simon Cowell’s acid tongue may actually have saved a person’s life. Cowell is also a judge on “X Factor,” which is the UK version of “American Idol.” Contestant Jacqui Gray auditioned in front of Cowell and Sharon Osbourne. Both seemed to sense something was amiss in the singer’s voice, though it’s hard to tell without actually seeing the episode if they were just being very specifically mean, or were actually concerned for the singer.

middle-jtm-017296.jpg “‘You have a very odd-sounding voice,’ Cowell, 47, told the nightclub singer after she finished her rendition of Labi Siffri’s ‘Something Inside So Strong.’ ‘Something happens to your throat when you sing. It is quite raspy. It sounds as if you have someone else in there, like you were choking on something.’

“Fellow co-judge Sharon Osbourne, 54, advised the 46-year-old mother of two ‘get it checked out,’ and then cut her from the competition. Luckily, Gray took their advice. ‘I thought I was suffering from a chest infection or swollen glands,’ she said. She went to an ear, nose and throat specialist who found a shadow on her lungs during a chest scan and diagnosed a potentially fatal lung disease.

“‘I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis and told if I had not got it seen to, it could have killed me.’ Matthew Hiltzik, a spokesman for Cowell, said, ‘Simon was genuinely concerned about her voice and is glad she sought the proper medical attention and received the necessary care. He was happy to help.’”

[From Us Weekly]

Simon Cowell, brilliant diagnostician. I don’t know that I really buy the whole “Simon Cowell really cares/ Simon was really worried for her line” – I mean it is Simon Cowell, I doubt he could have resisted passing up an opportunity to make fun of something so specific. Either way, Jacqui Gray certainly doesn’t hold a grudge after being eliminated.

“Gray, meanwhile, may be the first contestant to be rejected by the judges and thank them afterwards. ‘I want to thank them both,” she said. ‘I may not have got through X Factor but they gave me something much more important than that…they really did save my life.’”

[From Us Weekly]

Now if only Simon could leave all the contestants a little better off than they were before they met him. A brain for one, a heart for another, courage for the one that ran out of the room crying. He seems to have this very unique ability to spot ailments that go undetected by less-evolved naked human eyes. So though I never thought I’d say it, today Simon Cowell is a Good Celebrity.

Picture Note by Jaybird: Here’s Simon at various “American Idol” promotional appearances. Does his haircut make anyone else angry? It makes me angry. What man has a part down the middle and a flat top? Images thanks to PR Photos.
