He may seem about as cuddly as a porcupine on “American Idol,” but Simon Cowell has won the heart of Mezhgan Hussainy and now they’re engaged to be married.
According to a report, Miss Hussainy has announced her betrothal to Cowell, serving to confirm the various rumors that have been abounding as of late.
He’s already one of the biggest names in television production and talent development, and now Simon Cowell has signed a whale of a deal with Sony.

After many years together, Simon Cowell is having some trouble without Paula Abdul.

Making a change in career paths, Simon Cowell has announced he's quitting his "American Idol" duties when the new season ends in May of 2010.
The move comes amidst growing speculation that the music mogul's future on the show was uncertain, as his brother Tony revealed a statement would be made in the early part of 2010.
Even though Paula Abdul will not be returning to American Idol, the show will continue to have four judges. Fox chairman Peter Rice says, “There is going to be a search.”
Producers were holding up for Paula and “were hoping” she would return to the show. “We love Paula. She’s been a really wonderful part of the show for eight years.”
With rumors swirling that she’s leaving “American Idol,” Paula Abdul’s trusty pal, Simon Cowell, recently spoke to press in attempt to clear up the confusion.
