Perhaps Simon Cowell doesn?t appreciate the American presidency because he?s British. That must be the reason he was too busy to meet President Obama. As Cowell told the story to Jay Leno, Obama wanted to have dinner with Cowell, but they couldn?t get their schedules straight.
Was this just some throwaway story for The Tonight Show audience, or would President Obama really invite him to dinner? Only to have Cowell refuse? Even people who couldn?t care less about Obama would rearrange their schedules if invited by the president. PR-Inside has more:
Music mogul Simon Cowell snubbed a dinner party invite from newly appointed U.S. president Barack Obama - insisting he was too busy to make time for the American leader.
The American Idol judge boasted to U.S. chatshow host Jay Leno that he was invited to meet the new president at the White House - but cancelled due to his hectic TV schedule.
He told the talkshow host, “He wanted to have dinner and our diaries didn?t quite match. We just didn?t quite connect.”
A shocked Leno replied, “And what were you doing - whitening your teeth? Fixing your hair?”
Obama recently likened U.S. capital Washington D.C. to Cowell?s TV show, saying: “I do think in Washington it?s a little bit like American Idol. But everybody is Simon Cowell. Everybody?s got an opinion.”

Whitening your teeth? Fixing your (flat-top center-parted) hair? Stroking your man-boobs? I?m with Jay on that one. I really hope this was just some story that Cowell made up for an audience rather than a refusal of a formal invitation. Cowell is rude, but I never really thought that he was rude enough to disrespect a president.

Simon Cowell likes being tan so much, that he had a tanning salon added to his new home according to Daily Mail.
And they show a solarium off the master bedroom complete with one full-length tanning machine and a smaller ‘booster’ facial tanner.
You know he got the idea from Ryan Seacrest!!! I betcha Ryan will be all over the time just to use the salon.

Anthony Hopkins would like to play American Idol?s Simon Cowell. Seriously? That?s what Sir Anthony told MTV on the Oscar red carpet. Apparently, Cowell is Sir Anthony?s favorite judge on American Idol. He watches American Idol? I guess so. Maybe I should start watching, huh? If it?s good enough for a knight, it might be good enough for me.
Even though this information seems shockingly random, on second look, it would be amazing casting. Hopkins would bring a gravitas that Simon lacks, but you know Sir Anthony would chew up the scenery too. He would be a hoot! Radar Online has more:
Anthony Hopkins could very well play American Idol judge in a movie. MTV reports that Hopkins is such a huge fan of the singing competition, and Simon Cowell in particular, that he’d like to star in a movie about him.
“Simon is my favorite because he’s so brutally honest,” Hopkins told MTV on this year’s Oscars’ red carpet. “There’s no political correctness with him. He says it how it is. How very contrary.”
Now Cowell’s rep, Max Clifford, has told the Western Mail: “Knowing what an incredible actor Tony Hopkins is, I’m sure he’d do a great job, particularly in bringing out the much softer side to Simon that many of us don’t get to see.”
There has been no comment from RadarOnline.com’s request for comment and reaction from either Cowell’s rep or American Idol producers.
From Radar Online
Of course, someone would have to want to make a movie about American Idol or Simon Cowell for Sir Anthony to play him. And will that happen? Probably not.
Just a sidenote: I totally didn?t want to say it during the Oscar coverage, but I?m worried about Anthony Hopkins. He?s lost a lot of weight, and he looked very drawn and tired during the Best Actor Oscar presentation. I?m not trying to start a rumor, because I adore the man and truly hope he?s doing well, but I?m worried. Our prayers are with you, Sir Anthony!

Simon Cowell has so much to offer society, he?s decided to have himself cryogenically frozen so he can share his virtues with future generations.
The X Factor judge reportedly revealed his plans to invest in cryonics during dinner with Prime Minister Gordon Brown at 10 Downing Street.
Simon, 49, announced at the dinner: “I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you’ve been declared dead. Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do. I would be doing the nation an invaluable service.”
Press Association
I think Simon was kidding, but obviously it?s not unheard of. Other human tissues such as semen, blood and embryos are also stored this way. Unless Simon meant that by offering his body up to the scientific experiment of cryogenics is the ‘invaluable service’?
My dad got talking about living forever when we read The Curious Case [of Benjamin Button] at school, and commented that you?d never want to live forever as a geriatric. You?d just get more run down and old and probably not have the best quality of life. He says he only wants to be defrosted when they can reverse the aging process. Looking now at Wiki’s information about the Alcor Life Extension Foundation it says many people just have their brain stored, anticipating a new body in the future. I?ve always thought that when you die, it?s usually for a reason (for example, your heart wears out and stops) and if they could bring you back to life, wouldn?t you just die again shortly? Wouldn?t it be better to get frozen before your body actually stops, before you die?
The reason I say this is, Simon Cowell is known for being somewhat vain, so get frozen now. You?re in your prime, you have all your own teeth, no use getting old and wasting all that youth ? because by the time we can bring you back to life, I?m sure we?ll be able to stop the aging process Simon. And you get to keep your own body.
Gordon Brown is said to have joked at the same gathering “I am not sure me coming back from the dead would be quite as popular as Simon. In fact, there may be a public campaign to stop me being frozen!” He?s probably right, politicians are rarely loved in their time.

| | Simon Cowell made back payments on Fantasia Barrino's mortgage | | Added 15 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

It was kind of a mystery how American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino was able to keep one of her massive homes in Charlotte, North Carolina, after she failed to pay the mortgage. The $1.3 million home was about to be put up for auction in early January, but somehow Fantasia struck a deal and was able to keep it. This was after she almost lost another home in Charlotte after failing to pay fees to the neighborhood association and after she was sued by a car dealership for failing to make payments on her $240,000 Mercedes.
Now we know how Fantasia was able to keep her home after all her money problems. American Idol judge Simon Cowell stepped in and secretly made payments on the house. He is said to have not wanted to let anyone know or to draw attention to himself, but the National Enquirer found out about it and is running this story in their latest issue:
Court papers show that her 6,500 square-foot house, which Fantasia bought in 2007 for $1.3 million, was to be sold off Jan. 12 to satisfy an unpaid load.
But then at the eleventh hour [Cowell] galloped to the rescue - enabling Fantasia to reach an agreement with her mortgage holders and stop her home from being auctioned.
“Simon didn’t want to take any credit for it, he just wanted to help her out of a jam,” disclosed the insider. “He was hoping to keep his good deed a secret. He didn’t want to cause Fantasia any further public embarrassment.”
The singer’s problems were caused by overspending, divulged a close source.
“Fantasia was particularly naive. People around her told her she was a star, so she spent like a star. Fantasia has learned her lesson the hard way.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, February 16, 2009]
It sounds like Fantasia wouldn’t have been out of a place to live if she lost that home as she supposedly has another house in the area, which she may have purchased for family. That was kind of Simon to pay the mortgage for her anyway. He’s worth at least $200 million, according to Wikipedia, but he didn’t have to help her and it sounds like he did it out of the kindness of his heart. Simon is a pain in the ass but he seems to have a soft spot. Usually it involves attractive women who sing well.
Fantasia recently told E! News that she was hoping to get a reality show and that she would return to school to complete her GED, as we reported last week.
Update: Thanks to commenter Kimble who noted that Fantasia said on the red carpet at the Grammys that she didn’t have Simon Cowell’s number and that he didn’t help her with her mortgage payments.

Flash forward 30 years, she shared her photos and her time with then poor Simon with The Sun!!! OMG! I am so glad she shared the pictures with them because they ae priceless. In 30 years he hasn't changed a bit except now his breasts are little bigger!!!

Simon Cowell?s general appeal is often up for debate on this site. Some of us (I think it?s just me and Syko) find something attractive in Cowell. Something about his accent, his tight t-shirts, his aggressive manner, or maybe his slightly jaded sense of humor, but there?s something there. Now one of Cowell?s ex-girlfriends, singer Sinitta, is telling all about her one-time love, and now friend. Apparently, if you?re an exotic-looking girl (I take that to mean ?dark?) with a good figure (boobs), Simon Cowell will probably try to have sex with you, because sex is ?really important? to him.
Sinitta wants to find the perfect partner for her ex Simon Cowell. The music mogul, 49, split from TV presenter Terri Seymour, 34, last year.
?Sex is so important to Simon ? that?s his trouble,? she explains. ?It clouds his judgement. But I know what he really wants?someone to be his companion, his buddy, his mentor, someone who can put up with his work ethic. He does have this problem, though. It?s called a roving eye. And he would always want a get-out card so he could still play with his mates and not mess up his relationship.?
Sinitta, 40, says she can easily spot the kind of women Simon likes.
?I could walk into a room and immediately spot the type of girl he?d go for,’ she tells the Sunday Mirror. ‘It would be the exotic-looking one with the curly hair and great figure.
‘He loves bright women with something to say for themselves who are also strong and creative in their own right.?
[From Now Magazine]
The whole ?roving eye? doesn?t come as a galloping shock to me. Cowell has the look of a womanizer, and a man isn?t single at the age of 49 for no reason. But at least he takes care of his ex-girlfriends, and stays friends with them. His last girlfriend, Terry Seymour, even got a multi-million dollar house out of the break-up, so it?s not all bad news. The only bad news (for me) is that I don?t have curly hair. Do you think he would go for an exotic-looking girl with straight hair?

Skipping out on the whole notion of having a “white Christmas,” Simon Cowell was spotted frolicking around the beach in Barbados yesterday (December 25).
The snide “American Idol” judge looked to be having a marvelous time in paradise, hanging out with British billionaire Philip Green as well as spending some time on a wave runner.

American Idol has yet to premiere but the annoying reports about Paula and Simon are flooding in. Today it’s a story that Simon may not return to the series that brought him the most notoriety. They’re hoping to surround the show in an air of mystery and keep everyone guessing whether or not they’ll get to see their beloved villain, Simon, again. The suspense is killing me!
?I’ll make a decision about (whether to stay with the show) next year,” Cowell said Dec. 17 in his own call with reporters. His inclination to make a call about staying with the show doesn?t come from personality conflict as much as it does workload, however. “This show could continue for another 10 years,? he conceded.
Here’s a hint. Simon is coming back. He has his own label but American Idol is his bread and butter. Not coming back is like saying you’d only bang Jessica Alba once. Yea, right. You’d hit that so many times that when Jessica got up to leave, it’d look like she was walking on two wet noodles. That’s assuming she somehow untied herself from the bed posts.
