sunglasses Simon Cowell x factor jeans tee shirt

Is it any surprise that Simon Cowell is staying in classy digs while in Los Angeles?

An X17 photographer spotted The X Factor creator arriving at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA, on Sunday - in his signature white v-neck tee, natch.

Also in town? Cheryl Cole, the former Girls Aloud singer who was supposed to be one of the judges on the show ... until she got canned. A source close to the British pop star told The Daily Mail that Simon and Cheryl have "no plans to meet up either now or in the foreseeable future."

    "They have both moved on with their lives," the source adds. "She hasn’t spoken to him and they have no plans to see each other in America."


Instead, Simon appears to be focused on his friendship with Paula Abdul, which is useful since she has not been fired as an X Factor judge. Just two days earlier Paula was also spotted in Beverly Hills - she looked fabulous shopping in the posh 'hood in her sky-high heels!
