Did Simon Cowell's recent faux-wedding cause the mega-producer to contemplate EXISTENCE?!

The TV-talent-competition mastermind took to Twitter Tuesday morning to spill deets on numerous exciting topics: One Direction's upcoming movie, the progress of popular X Factor contestants Emblem3 and Fifth Harmony, a special unnamed project that's to debut SOON…

BUT all of a sudden, Simon's tweets turn into cryptic messages about relationships, family, and the important aspects of life!

Cowell even writes about experiencing "bumps", but he does NOT mention any specifics.

What's going on, SiSi?! What's weighing so heavily on that noggin of yours?! While we don't have any idea as to WHY Simon got all thoughtful on us, we must say we're enjoying the honesty!

And self-reflection is NEVER a bad thing!

Aw, man! And here we were, all worried that Kanye West's impending fatherhood had neutered his notorious, volatile outbursts!

Luckily, the rapper put all of those fears to rest last night during his concert last night at the Hammersmith Apollo in London in pretty much the most scathing, HIGHlarious and surprisingly astute way ever!

Oh, and at the expense of the Grammys, big businesses, and shockingly…Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake!

Following his performance of Clique, Yeezy descended into a frenetic, somewhat theatrical freestyle rant that, if it's possible to draw an over-arching message or theme, questioned the authenticity and morality of the entertainment industry, all the while lashing out at the creative and personal sacrifices that must be made in today's big-business-centric culture to ensure corporate backing and marketability as an artist!

Seems a little strange for this to come from someone who's expecting a baby girl with a woman who has essentially branded and sold her entire existence to America, but he even acknowledges that himself, when he says:

Oh Hazza!

Not only does Justin Bieber pay attention to what’s said about him, but it seems One Direction’s Harry Styles does, too!

In a recent interview, writer and philosopher Alain De Botton stated that he thought the 1D heartthrob should be tweeting on a deeper level… and well, Harry fulfilled his wishes!

Alain had previously remarked:

When Seal and Heidi Klum announced their split last month, the singer went on the talk show circuit and was very candid about the end of his marriage.

While Heidi has kept quiet for the most part, Seal defends his decision to open up about their divorce.

He says:

"When you publicize your marriage as much as our marriage was publicized, when you renew wedding vows, when you do all those things, what you are saying to people is … you're giving people a picture of an ideal relationship that people aspire to.

When it goes south, you can't all of a sudden take the philosophy of a monk and decide to go for a vow of silence. It doesn’t really work like that. I respect my wife's decision not to talk about that, but I felt that people at least deserved some kind of explanation why the picture of the ideal wasn't what they thought it was.

It's not like this [split] happened and I decided the next week to go on the show. I've tried my very best to protect the general welfare of my family, my wife included."

We wish other celebs had the same philosophy as Seal's. What we're saying is, we just want a little explanation, that's all!

We're not surprised! She probably is just trying to figure out what kind of mutated swamp creature she's (and we use this term loosely) evolved from!

Gutter troll Ke$ha has apparently forgone the usual RIDICULOUS list of demands that many performers require backstage at venues in order to have some seriously bizarre shiz on hand to satisfy her greasy needs!

According to Life & Style:

"An insider tells us that the pop star requested glitter, hot dogs, and philosophical books on the origins of species in her dressing room at the MuchMusic Awards in Toronto on June 20."

Seems perfectly reasonable to us!

Who doesn't love chowing down on hot dogs while contemplating evolutionary theory?? That Ke$ha, she's such a thinker!

LOLs!

Thoughts??
