Love to Hate



What will he say next? Probably what everyone else is thinking. Simon Cowell comes out with some doozies, and that's why many of us watch Idol. His brutally honest critiquing makes us LOL. But when he's wrong, the smarmy Brit will fess up. Like the time he told Katharine McPhee he was wrong about her. But when it comes to real life, he isn't always so forthcoming. During his tenure, there have been stories of Simon cheating on his longtime girlfriend, Terri Seymour. The most scandalous was a reported hookup with model Jasmine Lennard -- complete with photos of her leaving his home in the wee hours of the morning. Our critique? We're not big on cheaters.
