Simon Cowell's Mom Fears He Will Work Himself to Death

Simon Cowell's mother is afraid that he will give himself a heart attack due to his constant smoking and grueling work schedule.

Cowell's mom Julie, 84, has been calling him and pleading with him to ease up and lighten his work load or he'll risk suffering a heart attack like his father. Cowell's father Eric died of a heart attack in 1999 at the age of 81.

Julie's concern comes after she learned of the various projects that her son is working on. Cowell, 51, is currently working on American version of 'X Factor,' as well as 'Britain's Got Talent' and 'America's Got Talent.' He is also working on a new game show for the UK called 'Red or Black.'

The Sun is reporting that a source close to Cowell's mom reveals that "Simon's mum is freaking out. His family thinks he's doing too much and are telling him to slow down before his workload seriously damages his health."

The source says, "There's no point being the richest man in the cemetery."

A production source is reported saying, "Simon's a workaholic but he'd need a time machine to be physically able to appear on both the American and UK versions of X Factor, all of the time."

The source continues on why 'X Factor' is so important to Cowell. "His priority this year is the launch of the American version [of X Factor]. 'The X Factor' is Simon's baby and he will still be the key decision-maker behind the scenes. It's this show that changed his life and there is no way he could leave it behind permanently."

What is Simon's girlfried say about his multi-task! Doesn't she have any influence on him and if so why sorsn't she remind him that she would not like to be a widow at such an early age. At least get him to quit smoking!
