Since Twitter is the No. 1 way to insult celebrities directly, late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel once again asked celebs to read mean tweets about themselves. This time, Selena Gomez, Simon Cowell, Jessica Biel, Anderson Cooper and Dr. Phil, among others, were invited to read react to mean tweets.
Apparently Simon Cowell would have rather had Britney Spears beating cars with umbrellas again on 'X Factor' instead of just, you know, showing up late once in a while.
The crankypants Brit wanted his own highly-paid Brit to be more entertaining and a bit more of a loose cannon on the struggling Fox show, but instead she was just sort of ... off.
- Simon Cowell has confirmed that he and Carmen Electra are dating.
- Psy's 'Gangnam Style' has hit one billion views and is the first video ever to accomplish the feat.
- Cody Simpson is helping to give back to others.

Does Simon Cowell have rocks in his head? Yes, but the sparkly kind. The 'X Factor' judge and creator reportedly is eyeing Rihanna for his panel ... as well as another pop star that will raise even more eyebrows: Chris Brown.
'X Factor' terrific twosome Britney Spears and Simon Cowell hit 'The Tonight Show With Jay Leno' to talk about how their mutual makeup artist helped get Brit Brit to take the judging gig. Blah blah blah, right? We've heard this story before. What was really interesting about this delightful duo was their open discussion of their quirks, like Brit Brit's disdain for socks and the fact that Cowell wants to be cryogenically frozen and had a medium assess the vibe of his home. No, seriously!
"Sh-- happens, man. This is the business. It's not going to be all cute and pretty and tied up in a little bow," warned Christina Aguilera at one point during her keynote Q&A for the music conference jointly sponsored by Billboard Magazine and the Hollywood Reporter yesterday (Oct. 25).
It was a statement that set the tone for many of her remarks during a chat in which she, as THR put it, "dropped some f-bombs, spoke plainly about her career, and even belted out a bit of a classic tune."
'X-Factor' may not have produced many stars, or be the highest rated talent search based show on television. But the talent and stories of the contestants is what makes the show. One contestant in particular had one goal in mind when he auditioned. It wasn't to win the title or a $5 million dollar contract, but something much more meaningful.
Simon Cowell can be pretty cantankerous to begin with, but he's really cranky following the scheduling disaster for 'X Factor' on Wednesday night (Oct. 17).
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.
Since word broke that Steve Jones would not be returning to host the second season of 'X-Factor', the rumor mill hasn't stopped running. Well after months of speculation it looks as though Simon Cowell and company may have finally found its new host. But it looks like there may be more than one.
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!
