Simon Cowell seems pretty smug for a guy who went on TV dressed as a blue dog in a cape and then gave musical dog puns for every answer in this interview. And he doesn’t even care enough to make his voice sound like Scooby Doo or Russian or something. He just talks exactly like Simon Cowell, so everyone would know who he is. I’d put that suit on and then have it filled with bees before I would go on TV and use my real voice.
06.30.2009 simon cowell will make 144m
144 million dollars per season. 144 million. Dollars. One hundred. And forty-four. Million. Dollars. Per season. Which is five months long. 144 million dollars for five months. Five months. One hundred and forty-four million dollars to judge “American Idol”. For five months.
Fuck my life.
“EARLY salary figures from Simon Cowell’s ‘American Idol’ contract negotiations are leaking out and they’re eye-popping.
Cowell, who reportedly made $36 million last year for judging the hit competition show, has been offered three or four times that amount — between $100 million and $144 million per year — by co-producers Fox and 19 Entertainment to stick with ‘Idol’ when his contract expires next May.
While $36 million may seem like a lot of money for five months worth of snarky comments and eye-rolls, it’s only a fraction of the estimated $900 million that ‘Idol’ rakes in a year.”
Hopefully Paula will read this and go to the producers and say she wants 144 million a year too. If she does do that, cover your ears, because big laughs are coming.
11.06.2008 how much gd money does simon have
Simon Cowell has dated model Terri Seymour for years now, but they broke up a little over a month ago, and despite even a hint of controversy or shenanigans, something the fuck was up. MSNBC says…
Cowell is said to have given Seymour, who he dated for six years, $5 million cash and another $4.6 to buy a Beverly Hills home just before calling it quits, reports Life & Style.
“Terri phoned Simon about six weeks ago and finished it,” his rep told Life & Style, referring to the breakup. “Simon thinks the world of Terri, and that isn’t going to change. He also understands her reason for ending it.”
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.”
Who the hell just hands out 10 million dollars for no reason? Something is missing from this story because whether you give your ex gf 10 million dollars or a rock whizzing by her head for a going away present, you still get the same in return: not a god damn thing. Granted I haven't tried cash and a house. I have tried an unwanted pregnancy and a fake phone number, and to be honest, they don’t seem to care for that at all.

The Daily Mail has some pics up today of Simon Cowell driving around LA in his black Bugatti Veyron. If you don't know, the Veyron is the fastest street-legal car in the world (or maybe second fastest, depending on who you believe) and costs around 1.4 million. It has a top speed just over 250mph, thanks to a W16 engine, which is basically two V8 engines in a W shape. The Mail says:
Cowell bought the car in Los Angeles last October, in a huge car-buying splurge that month which saw him scoop up a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe back in the UK. A snip in comparison to the Bugatti at just £300,000.
The reality TV multi-millionaire who is reported to be worth over £100million already owns a fleet of luxury cars, including a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe.
In an interview with Top Gear he waxed lyricial about his Rolls Royce: "It's the most beautiful, most comfortable, best-engineered car ever built. I can hardly bring myself to say it but it's - oh, sod it! - perfect.
"When I drove the car I felt so good, I knew I had to have one. So, I spent £300,000 on one for my house here in LA.
"I'm going to pick up another when I get back to London and I am already on the waiting list for the 100EX cabriolet."
I don't think I'm alone when I say that Simon Cowell and his fabulous life can go fuck themselves.
03.12.2007 jennifer hudson should shut up
Jennifer Hudson was given a lifetime pass to Burger King today after an interview where she attempted to take yet another shot at Simon Cowell and American Idol, the show that gave Hudson her first big break. Hudson has repeatedly claimed she had a bad experience on the show because of the abuse she had to suffer from judge Simon Cowell. After Cowell said Hudson should have thanked American Idol - specifically the people who helped coach her and voted for her on the show - when Hudson won her Academy Award, Hudson said:
"If I'd been any better at my job when I was at Burger King in my middle teens, I wouldn't be here either, so should I thank them, too?"
According to the King, no:
"…In response to Jennifer's recent comments in which she asked if she should be thanking Burger King, we say thanks, but no thanks are necessary. Burger King Corporation is proud of Jennifer's success and while we never like to lose employees, in this case, our loss is the entertainment industry's gain … To further show our support for Jennifer, and make sure she never has to sing for her supper again, Burger King Corporation is giving her a pre-paid BK Crown Card that will be automatically reloaded for life."
The weird thing is that Hudson has made this up completely. She was never abused by Simon, at least not according to his standards. As you can see in the above video, and spelled out very clearly in this video, Simon was unusually complimentary to Hudson and seemed to think she was deserving to win, so she needs to say thank you to the show that put her in front of 40 million people and then shut the fuck up. She’s not the only great artist in Hollywood. For example, I can draw a turtle.
