They’re not enemies…yet!
Simon Cowell was asked about the rumored tumultuous relationship between him and fellow American Idol judge Ellen DeGeneres.
Turns out, he thinks she’s a good choice for the panel! Simon explains:
“I’ll tell you why I think Ellen was a good choice: She actually is very responsible for people she has performing on her own show. I know that for a fact, because I’ve dealt with her as a record label. And she loves music, and she’s been an artist.”
As for their professional relationship and rumors that Ellen was pissed about Simon showing up late to work, according to Simon all is well:
“I wouldn’t say that we didn’t get on well. I don’t know Ellen that well. It was a difficult thing for her because she started work on the Hollywood Week, which is quite a difficult show to do. There was one story I read that said I turned up an hour late or something, and that she wanted to film.
“The truth was I think I turned up 15 or 20 minutes late because I did a press conference earlier in the day, and they did start filming, but that wasn’t a particular problem. But no, there was not fallout. I was trying to guide her through the week, and that was about it, really.”
Booooring! We loves a good scandal!
But regardless it makes no difference because Simon is heading out soon — and hopefully we’ll be heading in! And we just ADORE Ellen!
