Is Simon Really Engaged?

Reports of Simon Cowell being engaged may have been a bit premature.  Though his make-up artist girlfriend Mezghan Hussainy has been spotted wearing an iceberg on her finger, sources are saying Simon has called it a promise ring.

"Simon is not ready for marriage, but he wanted to show Mezghan that he was in it for the long haul," a sources said.  "He is in the commitment stage, not the marrying stage."  And others are reporting the couple is happily engaged and sharing the news with friends.

Either way, Simon has not issued one word about becoming engaged.  Not that he really would, but sooner or later someone has to commit to something.  But, I must admit, there are more people confirming the non-engagement  then there are confirming a wedding in the future.

Howard Stern= New Simon Cowell!!!

Heard some news reports that are totally shocking. Some newspapers and websites have reported that Howard Stern could possibly be taking over for Simon on American Idol next season after he vacates his judge's seat to bring "X Factor" to the U.S.

If this is even being considered, what the hell is going on?!? Simon may not be a ray of sunshine, but there is no way that shock jock Howard Stern can even be considered a replacement. Is he going to judge them on their performances or their breasts and ass? And how do the other judges feel about this? I'm sure mild-mannered Ellen would no way in hell want to share a table with Stern. If this comes about, I'm afraid it is the last nail in the A.I coffin. Losing Paula was a huge blow and now Simon? At least we will be able to see Simon and possibly Paula on what I have labeled "American Idol Jr."
