After a rift that has gone on since 1993, Simon Cowell has had a reunion with his 64 year old half-brother, Michael, who is 13 years older than him.
Here's what Michael had to say about reuniting with Simon:
"I am really looking forward to seeing my brother again and having some time to talk properly. It is really exciting we can have this meeting and that he has set time aside for me."
"We have just recently got back in regular touch over the phone but I don't want to go into details. The only people who know the full story are Simon and I."
More from Michael:
"When I see him on TV I still can't believe it. Simon is great fun and I'd like to congratulate him on his success - even though he can be a real pain in the neck!"
We hope the reunion went well! After 17 years, they must have had TONS to talk about!!!

YES!
Warner Bros. has picked up an untitled Jason Filardi workplace comedy for none other than Zac Efron to star in and produce! The movie will also reunite the team behind Zac's 17 Again.
Zac set up his production company at Warner Bros in February, but he has been setting it up since then with his manager Jason Barrett. The company is called Ninjas Runnin' Wild Prods.
We like it!
You go, Zacquisha!

Wow!
What an upgrade! And this late in the series?!
L.A. Times' Joy Press took to her Twitter to make a pretty serious announcement regarding the next season of America's Next Top Model!
She wrote:
The next America's Next Top Model winner will get cover of Italian Vogue, not 17. Which means they actually have to find…a top model.
Ha!
Very true! Have any of the winners thus far really had that much success??
We wonder how Miz Tyra snagged that spot?!
Thoughts??
