Simon Hearts David Cook

Simon Cowell recently revealed to Blender magazine that he thinks David Cook should walk away with this season's American Idol title.

And he may!

Idol's King of Mean tells the mag, "I think he's done more to deserve it over the eleven weeks. He's taken more risks, he's done things with certain songs that have been more interesting. If I'm gonna base it on who has done the best performances over the live shows, David Cook deserves to win."

Simon also voiced his displeasure with booted contestant Jason Castro.

Cowell said, "He just gave up - I get frustrated over that."

He also hints that he thinks youngin' David Archuletta has no personality.

Can't hate on Simon. He calls it as he sees it!

When Bad People Do Good Things

Simon Cowell may not be known as a great philanthropist, but it seems like the witty and sarcastic American Idol judge does have a soft spot underneath that hard exterior.

Cowell was a guest Monday on Oprah, and during the show they mentioned a good deed that the mean spirited judge did.

Oprah's Big Give show is all about helping those in need and that's just what Cowell decided to do.

A couple, Randy and Amy Stoen, were struggling daily in order to travel more than 100 miles from their home each day so their daughter could receive treatment. The young girl, Madeline, is struggling with a life-threatening cancer.

Cowell decided to alleviate some of the stress and burden the family is dealing with and paid off their mortgage!!!

He said "I never knew that doing good could feel so good."

Cowell paid over $162,000 to cover the family's debt.

And, hey, it's a tax write-off for him! Right? And he got to announce it on Oprah!

Simon Not Hard Up (For Cash)

wenn5073959.jpg

Simon Cowell has just turned down a six figure deal. That's lunch money for him.

The American Idol judge was offered over $1.5 million to be the new face for the boner pill Viagra.

Cowell is only 48.

Simon explains,"My agent rang me and said, 'You've been offered an incredibly big deal - it's to be the face of Viagra'. And I just said, 'Sorry, but that has to be a fucking insult.'"

Cowell is said to be worth upwards of $100 million!!!!

He's got millions in the bank and several shows on air worldwide bringing him in money. He's also been quoted as saying he would never marry his girlfriend Terri Seymour, who's 15 years younger, without her agreeing to a pre-nuptial agreement.

He knows how to keep his money safe!

We're guessing in 10 years, Cowell might sign up to be the Viagra spokesman.

In the mean time, they should ask Tom Cruise!
