Simon Says: No Marriage Without Pre-Nup

By Rob Shuter Posted Feb 24th 2010 07:00AM

Simon Cowell has proven to be many things, but foolish has never really been one of them. So it should be no surprise that as things get more serious with his new girlfriend, Simon won't even consider walking down the aisle unless there's a pre-nup in place. Way to protect your hundreds of millions, Simon! Details on that, plus scoop on J-Lo's expensive habits after the jump!

Simon Cowell: Pre-Nup Before Marriage

Simon Cowell is a new man now that girlfriend Mezhgan Hussainy is in his life. Even the music mogul's 84 year-old-mother said, "There's such a glow about him. I think he would make a wonderful husband."

However one thing that hasn't changed about the 'Idol' judge is his ability to tell it exactly as it is.

"Simon has made it clear to Mezhgan that he will not be walking down the aisle unless a pre-nup has been signed," a friend of Simon's tells me. "He is in love, he hasn't lost his mind."

Call me stupid or old-fashioned, but I still believe in marriage forever ... even if Mr. Cowell is estimated to be worth over $175 million.

J-Lo's Hair Expenses Cost Her A Record Deal

Most industry types are gossiping that the disastrous debut of Jennifer Lopez's first single 'Louboutins' off her new album was because of the label's decision not to release the album and not to renew her contract. However, my source tells me the real reason the label chose to end its long-term deal with J-Lo had nothing to do with music, but rather the amount of their money she was spending on her hair, of all things!

"Jennifer spends the label's money like it's 12 years ago, when she was selling huge amounts of CDs," a record executive told me. "The label was picking up the cost of private plane, video shoot, 5-star hotels. But the straw that broke the camel's back was the $10,000 it would cost her a day for her hair and makeup."

I have to say, La Lopez does always look flawless -- even in a that ridiculous sheer cat suit she performed in on New Year's Eve, but surely no hairdo is worth $10K. And for sure, no hairdo is worth a record contract!

A spokesperson for J-Lo told me this was "not true at all. She has a new label." Let's hope the new label has its own hair and makeup team on staff, too.

North Carolina Gets a Taste Of Manhattan

Congratulations to nightclub kings Scott Sartiano on the opening of his hot club Butter in North Carolina, his first venue outside of NYC.

Friends Nicky Hilton and Fergie from The Black Eye Peas helped Scott, who is originally from the great state of North Carolina, celebrate the over the weekend.

Some fools in New York can't seem to think outside of Manhattan, but N.C. local boy Scott and his partner Richie Akiva know better.

I think that's fair. Any girl would be satisfied just to be with him. That smile.......wow

By Samuel

We always felt Simon was married to Ryan Seacrest. Isn't he?

By Marylnn

Is she gay, as Simon is? He is the only true QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
Will Ryan be the maid of honor, or the "girl" Simon left behind?

By Jacqulny

All Simon's millions and he can't even afford a new tee shirt.
What a dumb azz he is. AI was named after him - American Idiot

NO WOMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO ANYTHING A MAN HAD BEFORE THEY GOT MARRIED AND I AM A WOMAN SAYING THIS. THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY. MOST WOMEN ARE OUT THERE LOOKING.AND ROB IF YOU HAD ALL THAT MONEY WOULD YOU GIVE HALF AWAY IN A YEAR IF IT DID NOT WORK OUT. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH LOVE. HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH LOOKING OUT FOR YOURSELF TODAY.

By Becky

Simon is a very smart man both on and off the screen...Pre-nup all the way...Remember Paul McCartney?????

By TommyTrojan

can someone PLEEZE tell Ellen it's time for her to start being funny?!

By tom

any man or woman for that matter, that didnt sign a prenup with money like that would be a total and absolute fool.

By jan

He can do better!

By Brea

He should definitely have a pre-nup! Look at Paul McCartney! No Pre-nup and look what happened! She was dumb to begin with. I mean who would marry a Beatle and want a divorce??!!?!?!?!?! i suppose she was jsut money hungry though. Maybe she felt she needed a more "expensive, more fashionable" prostetic leg? If I worked for and achieved the ability to make hundreds of millions of dollars.... NO WAY A MAN'S GONNA TAKE IT FROM ME! Yes, we all like to believe that marriage is forever, but sometimes sh*t happens.

By jbjg24m

no prenup, no marriage, simple as that! totally agree with him

By kathy143buddy

This is a surprise to me. I thought the guy was just an overpaid, ill tempered faggot. Had no idea he liked women (or anyone other than himself.) I wish him and his new bride as much tragedy and ill-fortune possible. He certainly deserves it.

By jaluty

While the author still believes in romantic images of marriage and that is fine...they must still understand that there is a thing called "Gold Diggers". One's mind immediately wanders to Sir Paul McCartney's last wife. I don't blame Simon there is no way in his situation I would enter a marriage without one either!

By happyone6470

Anybody worth as much as Simon would be crazy not to have a Pre_Nup .

By cheesecake

That's right. If you love your wife, she is suppose to get half. If I had to donate my heart, to keep her from dying. She can have that too.

By stelios

Laughing@fools, are you out of your mind, or are you the last part of your username? Please do tell us what a hank is, and what do bright girls want in a man if not Simon!

By Taylor

Yes, a pre-nup is in order! Just think of all the baloney Paul McCartney could have avoided had he thought with the right head when he married Heather "I'm a Gold-Digger" Mills! Pre-nup, Simon, Pre-Nup!

By BarbaraAnn

I agree with BellaJean. Simon is a hunk and a mega rich one who has a lot to lose if some gold digger would get a hold of his fortune. Better to be safe than sorry. A pre-nup would be in his best interests for sure!! And he always gets beautiful women and can choose from thousands.
