SIMON COWELL IS TALLER AND THINNER THAN EVER

Simon Cowell gave paparazzi a thumbs-up as he headed into America’s Got Talent, preparing for their 18th season today. He’s happy about the fact that he’s been able to maintain that 60 pound weight loss that he claims is due to food control. (Isn’t that what they all say?) Whatever – he IS successful, but we cannot help fixating on his foot wear, as usual. His custom made boots with lifts inside seem particularly evident today – maybe because of his long jeans. It looks like they give him AT LEAST four inches of added height…

Elevator Shoes Height Height Challenged Male Vanity Simon Cowell

SIMON COWELL’S LITTLE SECRET

Okay, we have to confess- Male Vanity is one of our all-time favorite subjects. So when we see an excellent example of it, we just have to point it out. Simon Cowell was walking around on a chilly day in London, enjoying his weight loss and displaying his chest, as usual. What interested US, of course, is this photo that clearly reveals his elevator shoes. He has these pointy booties custom made at considerable expense, to give himself an extra three inches of height and figures that no one is aware, but WE are! And now you are too …

Anniversary Damian Hurley Elizabeth Hurley Joan Collins Simon Cowell

SIMON COWELL NIXED BLACK TIE FOR DECOLLETE

It takes all kinds. Joan Collins (age 88 – can you believe it?) had an elegant black tie party at Claridge’s Hotel in London to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary with Percy Gibson. Among the guests were Elizabeth Hurley and her customary date, her 19 year old son Damian Hurley. Damian wore his long hair back in a ponytail with his tuxedo, and his mother wore a sexy gown as usual. He has quite a modeling career going these days – too bad he has no time for college. Simon Cowell and his fiancee Lauren Silverman were also at the event – all the other men wore tuxes, but Simon is accustomed to showing off his irresistible chest – and ignored the formal invitation.

Accident Electric Bike Hair! Helmet Macho Simon Cowell

SIMON COWELL: MORE MISPLACED MACHISMO

We ran across this 1980’s photo of Simon Cowell with Farrah Fawcett feathered hair, flexing his biceps with his then-girlfriend, singer Sinitta. There’s no doubt that he enjoys his own masculinity, and while his hair has gotten shorter, he still has the same style and attitude. That includes his e-bike riding. He didn’t learn a lesson the first time he lost control of his electric bike on wet pavement in Malibu and broke his back 18 months ago. No helmet. To his credit he continued riding – but STILL without a helmet and just had the same accident on a slick street in London. Onlookers had to stop traffic so he wouldn’t get run over. He ended up with a bloody face, possible concussion, and a broken arm.

America's Got Talent Gabrielle Union Lawsuit Simon Cowell Smoking

GABRIELLE UNION IS FIRE PERSONIFIED

Gabrielle Union knows how to dress for the occasion. She’s in London, on her way to the exclusive Chiltern Firehouse for dinner, and it’s an unusually chilly night. So naturally she tossed on a fire engine red ensemble and she looks adorable. She can also have a bit of a fiery disposition- remember when she appeared as a judge on the 14th season of America’s Got Talent and she couldn’t STAND Simon Cowell’s chain smoking in her presence. She complained, and her contract was NOT renewed for a second year. She spoke freely about the show’s “toxic” environment and is suing them for racism etc. So don’t blow smoke in HER face!

SIMON COWELL IS A CREATURE OF HABIT

Simon Cowell has spent his vacation in the same place in Barbados every summer since we can remember. Though the years he added a wife (Lauren Silverman) a child (Eric) and four dogs, who all come along. He adopted his most recently acquired dog at a charity event in Barbados. The family, along with helpers, fly in Simon’s private jet and stay in a lavish rented villa. His pooches are treated like royalty and Simon loves his dogs so much that he says he “cannot bear the thought of them NOT being around.” So he is contemplating cloning them all!

Elevator Shoes Simon Cowell Sneakers

SIMON COWELL AND HIS HIGH HEEL SNEAKERS

Interesting to see that Simon Cowell has joined Tom Cruise in the built-up sneakers club. Okay, we’re a little obsessed by male celebrities who wear lifts in their shoes. But it IS a fascinating subject. We are very familiar with Simon’s cowboy boots with heels and lifts inside, but we hadn’t noticed his elevator sneakers. Sylvester Stallone was the FIRST celebrity we encountered who had lifts in his custom sneakers back in the 80’s. He may have even been the FIRST ever to do it. (He was also furious when we wrote about it!) Since then, male celebrities have them custom made quite frequently. Simon wore his for a charity walk he went on with Lauren Silverman – they raised money for Shooting Star Children’s Hospices in the UK. A nice gesture…

Accident Bike Simon Cowell

SIMON COWELL WAS SHOWING OFF FOR THE KIDS

It’s a conundrum. Simon Cowell is very fussy about his health and pops multiple vitamin supplements every day. He cut back on his 80 cigarettes a day habit, and lost a considerable amount of weight recently. So why did this careful guy end up with a broken back? He just had his new electric bike delivered that goes 60 miles per hour- and he couldn’t WAIT to try it out. He was “showing off for the kids” when he did a wheelie and was thrown to the concrete. No helmet and no protective clothing like bikers wear. It’s ironic. Simon started bike riding to stay healthy in quarantine, and ended up worse off than if he caught the virus!

Bicycle Cigarette coronavirus Simon Cowell Smoking

SUDDENLY SIMON COWELL IS PEDALING FOR HIS LIFE

Simon Cowell admits he is “terrified” of catching coronavirus. He’s been wearing masks every time he leaves the house for WEEKS, and he’s popping vitamins right and left. Why so panicky? Simon is not only 60, but he’s in the habit of smoking 80 cigarettes a day. When Gabrielle Union was fired from AGT, she threatened to sue Simon for “endangering her life” with his illegal smoking on the set. Years of smoking makes Simon a candidate for a very bad virus outcome. Note that Simon is NOT wearing his elevator shoes while riding today with his partner Lauren Silverman, her son Adam Silverman, and their son Eric Cowell.

Elevator Shoes Height Challenged Simon Cowell

SIMON COWELL WALKS TALL IN HIS ELEVATOR SHOES

Men who wear elevator shoes and the shoes they wear have always been a source of fascination. Simon Cowell is obviously not happy about his height (he claims to be 5’9”) and he’s been augmenting it for years. He’s quite secretive and buys expensive custom made shoes that have lifts inside and built up heels. Simon’s been wearing exactly the same style of pointy toe shoes for YEARS, and tops them off with extra long wide leg pants or jeans that cover them up. That explains why his style hasn’t changed for the last 25 years…
