Idol Stalker

Simon Is Like Paula’s Lover?

by Jason on January 10th, 2007

Paula Abdul says that Simon Cowell, with all the teasing and arrogance, still acted like a brother or a “lover” when she needed the support and going through the scandal a couple of years ago.

“I have to be honest about Simon,” Abdul said yesterday. “There’s the times when he’s like a big brother - or a lover. He was extremely distraught and protective and supportive of me when that happened.”

Abdul was accused of an inappropriate relationship with a contestant from the show’s second season, though an investigation by the network cleared her of any wrongdoing. Still, producers of the hit show reportedly discussed replacing her because of the bad publicity. But it was Cowell - who has a famously cat-and-dog relationship with Paula - who stepped up for her, she says.

I got the story from A Socialite’s Life, and they don’t like the “lover” remark. They think it means there may be some other scandal happening on set of the great talent reality show.

I’m down with this story until the “lover” part. I get it that he was in your corner. And when you’re describing that kind of sitch, you usually say “brother” or “we’re like family”. But “lover” implies he’s giving it to you. So either Paula is very very high still or there’s another scandal over at American Idol that needs to be uncovered. Stat.

I don’t think there’s anything like that going on at all. I understood what she meant, people who are romantically attached to each other are normally very protective of each other so the comment makes sense to me.

What do you think? Are Simon and Paula “involved” with each other? Let us know in our newest poll.
