Simon Cowell isn’t the nicest guy or at least that’s how I perceive him when watching him on the ‘X Factor.’ He just tells the contestants like it is and doesn’t think twice about hurting someones feelings. Maybe his ‘too honest’ personality also plays a part in his relationship turmoil. Simon got engaged last year to girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy, but now it seems the wedding is off. The couple is calling it a break and not a split, but come on!

In an interview Sunday with the British newspaper the Daily Mirror, Cowell says the estranged couple hasn’t seen each other since just before Christmas, when they only met briefly.

“It’s quite a complicated relationship. We have had a break from each other, and we are still incredibly close. I’m vulnerable. It’s not on, it’s not off, it’s somewhere in the middle. I don’t know if I will ever get married, but I am happy.”

The outspoken Cowell also says he regrets gushing about Mezhgan to CNN’s Piers Morgan and calling her ‘The One,’ but now is backtracking on the statement claiming to have just gotten “caught up in the moment.” Ouch. The omens don’t look good for Hussainy though, who met Cowell when doing his make up on the 2003 series of ‘American Idol‘ and started dating him in 2009. She’s believed to have moved out of his L.A. mansion and into another home nearby, the place that friends of his notoriously call the “girlfriends graveyard” after one of his ex’s Terri Seymour stayed there following their split in 2008. Cowell admitted that he does help his ex girlfriends financially, stating “I don’t pay them off, but if you have been with someone long enough, there is a responsibility. You can’t say one minute you can live this type of life and then the light goes off.”

I guess that’s why celebrities should really keep their personal lives under wraps. Yikes!

‘The X Factor‘ is coming to Fox this Fall and it’s getting tons of press because Simon Cowell is the man behind this show. Plus it has a huge prize for the winner, a $5 million record contract. Can you imagine winning that prize? ‘America Idol‘ who? There has been tons of speculation on who will be joining Simon as a Judge on the new show. Mariah Carey, Jessica Simpson, and Rihanna have all been rumored to be judges, but today we finally know who really made the cut.

Today Simon all but said Paula Abdul is coming to The X-Factor and will be joining him on the judges panel! This was pretty much a no-brainer decision. People loved her on Idol and Simon was a big fan of hers. And luckily Paula’s dance reality TV show on CBS bombed and she was available.

Per Ok!:

He explained, “I missed her the second she left the show. Always loved working with her even though she can be a pain. And I’ve been consistent about this. I don’t know what it is about her, but I’ve always clicked with her.” He added, “You just have to get that chemistry, and she’s right. I’ve never found anyone better than her. I think there’s a good chance it will be her.”

With all of the anticipation and promotion going for this show I am definitely planning on watching it. Plus, as I said before – who doesn’t love Paula’s crazy antics?

The tenth season of ‘American Idol‘ debuts tonight and Simon Cowell’s absence will no doubt be felt, but it’s not like producers didn’t offer him a TON of cash to stay! In a new book titled ‘American Idol: The Untold Story,’ author Richard Rushfield spills the magic beans on how much dough he reportedly was offered and the power struggle between him and Idol creator Simon Fuller that led to Cowell’s exit from Idol and his bringing his new show to the US.

Per Celebuzz:

“In the summer of 2009, with one more year left on Cowell’s contract, Fox—represented by Rupert Murdoch himself—offered Cowell a staggering deal: to continue his services on Idol as well as to bring ‘X Factor‘ to America, Cowell would be paid in the neighborhood of $130 million a year.”

Despite the insane sum of cash, Simon decided to bolt! Crazy! The two hour season premiere of Idol airs tonight at 8 on Fox – will you be watching?

My spell check hates Mezhgan Hussainy. Good thing she has an engagement ring the size of a dinner plate on her finger to make up for it.

Simon Cowell was laughing off engagement rumors just a few weeks ago. Now his fiancee is sporting a diamond engagement ring that is probably worth more than your house, car and precious moment figurine collection put together and multiplied by 5. She is a make up artist who puts the whore-face (as Aunty Tootsie calls make up) on American Idol contestants.

Multiple sources are reporting that American Idol’s Simon Cowell  is engaged to gorgeous Afghanistan native Mezghan Hussainy.

RadarOnline reports Mezghan, with a big smile and even bigger diamond, told executive vice president David Perel that she and Simon, who are living together, are officially engaged.

The couple met seven years ago on American Idol where Simon is the notoriously blunt judge and Mezghan works as a make-up artist. According to Simon’s publicist Max Clifford, they have been dating for almost a year. They made their fist public appearance as a couple at Simon’s 50th birthday bash.
“They are very suited,” Clifford said earlier. “She is someone who is independent and says what she thinks and feels, and he likes that. He’s probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I’ve been working
 with him.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
