Yesterday, X17online caught Simon Cowell returning to his Beverly Hills home with rumored fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy, where he talked marriage, American Idol, X-Factor and Paula Abdul.
When asked if Paula would be a good fit on his new X-Factor show, Simon said "Paula and I always fit together well."
And speaking of another diva, Simon told Access Hollywood, “I think we should have Lady GaGa,†he said. “She is the most relevant pop artist in the world at the moment… and I’ve met her and she’s very smart. I like her.â€Â
Simon also acted as if he hadn't heard the rumors he and girlfriend Mezhgan were engaged, before saying, "Nothing surprises me anymore."

If only these two were a couple in real life!
Though Shakira and tennis ace Rafael Nadal heat things up in her new music video for "Gyspy," both of the sexy stars are in long term relationships (Shakira's engaged to Antonio de la Rua and Rafa is dating Maria Francisca Perello, his high school sweetheart). Though there were rumors that the two cozied up recently in NYC, it sounds like it was all just a misunderstanding, as their relationship is strictly professional.
Too bad this is just for business - we were totally ready to dub them Shakirafa!

While the world was waiting to hear what Tiger Woods had to say today, his mother was there to support him as he tearfully apologized to his family, fans and the press for his "irresponsible and selfish behavior."
After his lengthy statement, an emotional Tiger made his way to his mother Kultida Woods and gave her a hug. When asked by MSNBC what she whispered into his ear, Kutilda replied, “I said 'I’m so proud of you. Never think you stand alone. Mom will always be there for you and I love you.'"
Aww, we're sure he needed that hug and several more after making his apology at the TPC Sawgrass golf club in Ponte Vedra, Florida this morning. Even though it was long overdue, we can't imagine how difficult (not to mention humbling) it was for him to speak out today...

While Tiger Woods was holding a press conference in Florida, across the country, his ex-fling and former porn star Joslyn James was holding a presser of her own with attorney Gloria Allred by her side.
During the KABC Radio news conference (in which they watched Tiger's apology), Joslyn broke down in tears.
After Woods announced he would be returning to rehab tomorrow, Allred said, “Whatever rehab Tiger participates in, it will not be meaningful or effective unless he acknowledges the relationship he had with my client." She continued, "He must call her, or better yet, meet with her in person to apologize and explain to her why he lied to her over and over again.â€Â
A tearful Joslyn (real name Veronica Siwik-Daniels) said, "I would be open to a telephone apology from Tiger but I really feel that I deserve to look at him face to face … in his eyes because I didn’t deserve this. Tiger pursued me and over time I fell in love with him -- and he told me he loved me too.â€Â

Looks like Heidi has rubbed off on him!
A friend close to the couple told Star Magazine that Spencer Pratt is considering getting "lipo, chest implants and a nose job," and that he may go under the knife with Heidi the next time she goes into the operating room.
After Heidi's ten surgeries garnered her a massive amount of press, it would seem as though Spencer wants to share some of the limelight. Hey, every Barbie needs her Ken, so why not?

Kristen Stewart will have a handsome co-star on her arms at the Oscars next month, but that man will be Taylor Lautner, not Robert Pattinson!
The starlet told E! that following in the footsteps of her boyfriend Rob who presented last year, "Me and Taylor are going to present."
Since she's already got her date squared away, the biggest Oscar issue on her mind is, of course, footwear! "I've been looking at shoes," she said. "I'm trying to pick shoes that I know I won't fall down in." Let's just hope she doesn't go with the converse!
In other KStew news, she says that plans to begin shooting Breaking Dawn in November aren't definite.
"I have been told to be ready for November," she said. "I mean, it looks like a 'yes,' but it's still not concrete."
And even though it's not concrete yet either that Breaking Dawn will be broken into two films, Kristen said the book "absolutely warrants" being two films! "It would be hard to cram all of it into one movie," she said.

While Tiger looked like he wanted to be elsewhere during today's press conference, it appears as though it has done him some good. Not only is Nike still standing by their man, but EA Sports is more than confident that they've made the right choice in sticking with the adulterous golf champ.
A rep from EA Sports tells X17online exclusively, â€ÂWe will continue with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011 which will be released in June." When asked whether the scandal has impacted sales for the current game (the 2010 edition), EA Sports added, “We haven’t seen any type of impact in sales.â€Â
