The music mogul dropped some serious One Direction bombs during an interview with 'The Sun' on Sunday.

Simon Cowell has broken his silence following the controversial video that seemingly shows One Direction's Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik smoking a joint in a car.

OMG, we can't even. Acid-tongued former 'American Idol' and 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell shared three photos of his newborn son, Eric, who made his grand entrance into the world in NYC on Friday, Feb. 14.

It's a boy for Simon Cowell! Well, not yet, but it will be a son soon for the 'X Factor' judge, a source tells the New York Daily News.

She may be the reigning Queen of Pop, but this year, Madonna holds dominion over all the other celebrities of the world, coming in above directing powerhouse Steven Spielberg and the creator of a million reality singing competitions, Simon Cowell.

If all the reports we've been seeing over the past day or so are accurate, Simon Cowell will become a first-time father early next year. We know the woman he knocked up, Lauren Silverman, is a (former) friend's estranged wife, and we know her divorce will probably be a trainwreck -- but who exactly is Lauren herself? Here's what we've been able to dig up so far.

Despite gallivanting with all manner of beautiful ladies, Simon Cowell's sexuality seems to constantly be in question. Now the 53-year-old producer and reality-show mogul says it's cool if you think he's gay. (Which, in case you don't know, is exactly how straight people who are totally comfortable with their own sexuality handle such things.)

Simon Cowell has never minced words, but he seems to be keeping relatively mum (as in, outright BSing) when it comes to LeAnn Rimes' 'X Factor' performance.

Word on the street is that Carmen Electra (yeah, she's still around) and snipey 'X Factor' judge Simon Cowell just might be a thing. Paparazzi caught them out on a dinner date Saturday night, and now we can't stop wondering how Cowell rated her try-out.

Simon Cowell has been making the promo rounds, flanked by his 'X Factor' girls, on an assortment of TV programs. Last night (Sept. 17), when accompanied by newbie judge Demi Lovato on the 'Conan' show, he got more than he bargained for and was subjected to more abuse from his sidekick. She called him an "a--hole" on national late night TV. Go get 'em, Deemz!

Ding ding. ‘The Voice‘ vs. ‘X Factor‘ battle has officially begun, a week before the season premieres and the ratings books. ‘The Voice’ is strategically attempting to win Round 1 by adding an extra episode of Season 3 during the premiere week on Wednesday, Sept. 12, which is the same day that Season 2 of ‘X Factor’ premieres. That move has got Simon Cowell fighting mad.

Simon Cowell can add “hero” to his long, long list of achievements: The former ‘American Idol‘ and current ‘X Factor‘ judge came to the rescue of nine people who were trapped on a sinking boat in France!
