The “American Idol” judge was so impressed with the boys’ efforts in organizing Concert for Diana that he invited them to join his talent television empire as producers.

Simon Cowell, who was blown away by line-up performers, praised the princes, saying: “You have put together one heck of a show. Well done. If you ever get tired of running the country you can work for me producing TV shows.” He turned to Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson and added, “Somehow I don’t think they’ll ever take me up on my offer.”

“American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest says he believes judge Simon Cowell was the reason the show had low ratings last season.

When asked about the show’s drop in popularity he said, “Well, the knee-jerk reaction would be Simon,” according to a report in a website.

Ryan Seacrest thinks the audience had too much of Cowell’s rudeness. He revealed, “Clearly there’s an over saturation of his character.”

He also pointed out that the show still has high ratings but cleared speculations that bosses want to change some of the judges on the show.
He added, “That’s clearly rumor. I’m positive you can’t recreate the chemistry that we have with the group on ‘American Idol.’ ”

Simon Cowell, one of the judges of “American Idol”, abides by a superstitious ritual before appearing on television.

His ritual is he “worships” his hair-dryer, according to his co-star. Amanda Holden, his co-judge in Britain’s Got Talent, exposed Cowell’s pre-show ritual.

The actress explained, “He has a little routine before every show, with his hairdryer, but it’s pointless - he looks exactly the same afterwards. I can only assume it has become a sort of superstitious ritual. Just as Madonna prays before a performance, Simon worships at the alter of his Babyliss hairdryer. He likes to be assured he looks good and we always tell him he does.”

Simon Cowell, one of the judges of “American Idol”, has advised the troubled pop singer Britney Spears to take some time out and go home to Louisiana – to save her career.

The British music mogul is convinced that Britney will find a way of reviving her career after motherhood, marriage and rehab. It is because she’s “still one of the most talked about pop stars on the planet.” But Simon Cowell insists she needs some serious down time with her family and friends in Kentwood, so she can re-connect with the star she was when she last hit the top of the charts.

Simon Cowell revealed, “She can’t handle the tension and the pressure. Lock the door, don’t go out with your stupid friends, have some home-cooked food, get a sense of reality. Go lie in the garden, OK?” He added, “And then say to yourself, `There’s more good in my life than bad. I’m still a rich, talented girl - now I want to get my career back on track.’ End of story.’ ”

Simon Cowell, the “American Idol” judge, has increased his rank in the Britain’s Rich List after amassing a $200 million fortune.

Simon is currently the 700th richest person in Britain, shooting up an incredible 244 places from 944th in the annual poll conducted by Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper.

The “American Idol” judge increased his assets by 80 million dollars in the past 12 months, almost doubling his bank balance, due to the success of the U.S. television talent show and several hit programs made by his U.K. production company SYCO, including “X Factor.” He also signed a staggering $40 million deal with British TV network ITV.

An industry source revealed, “Simon Cowell is the man with the Midas touch. Not only for him but for ITV, too. He’s simply the hottest and most important showbiz talent around right now.”
Simon, 46, has now superseded singer Robbie Williams, whom Simon recently told to “get a grip” when the singer entered rehab for addiction to painkillers.

The troubled star only increased his wealth last year by $10 million to $190 million after his album “Rudebox” flopped.

Sir Paul McCartney, who recently hit the headlines with divorce, is the richest man in pop with $1.5 billion, which secured him in 102nd place of the list.

Lakshmi Mittal, a steel tycoon, holds the number one spot, 56, who has amassed an amazing $38 billion.

Their back-and-forth squabbling in “American Idol” might make a great drama, but Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell are really friends in real life.

As for Cowell’s troublemaking tendencies, which could cause some problems, Paula Abdul said, “In the middle of me trying to figure out how I’m going to say something that gives someone dignity walking off that stage, I’ve got the antagonistic brother goofing on me, trying to throw me off.”

When she was asked about the rumors of her possible romance with Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul exclaimed, “Oh, puh-leez!” The singer added, “He said, ‘Paula, people want us to hook up so bad.’ I said, ‘That’s disgusting.’ He goes, ‘Paula, I know you want me,’ and I go, ‘Like a cold sore.’ ”

Paula Abdul said, “We have fun playing up the chemistry, but there’s also times when I would cross the other side of the street so I wouldn’t have to look at him.”
