Simon isn't paying attention
It's an American Idol shocker: Judge Simon Cowell isn't paying attention when the contestants are singing! In fact, he's "taunting Paula [Abdul] throughout the performance", Simon revealed to Ellen Degeneres on her talk show.
"I [tell] her, 'Try to say something interesting.' I make things up about the song, hoping she'll say them, like, 'That was the theme song from Star Wars, you should mention that.'"
But Simon does give his undivided attention to the Idol hopefuls during the dress rehearsals.
"I'll tell you a secret. I watch the dress run so I actually hear much, much easier what they really do sound like."

Simon Cowell's girlfriend wants babies
Simon Cowell's girlfriend is desperate to have kids with him - even though he has vowed never to be a dad.
Model Terri Seymour, 33, is determined to start a family one day. But she admits she refuses to think about the possibility she may have to choose between Simon and having a baby.
The 47-year-old music mogul famously told Terri to "buy a terrapin" when she first revealed her dreams of motherhood to him. But leggy Terri - who has been dating Simon for five years said:
"Everyone knows he doesn't want marriage and kids.
"Although marriage doesn't really bother me as my own mum raised me on her own, I definitely want a baby some time down the road. But it's never something we discuss.
We're happy the way we are and I'm not worrying about it just yet."
"Somebody wrote I was going to dump him if we didn't have children together - but that's not true.
"I had to call up his mum to calm her down when she read that.
"She's always telling me, 'I think he's changing his mind about having children' - but I know for a fact he won't."
Simon said last year:
"If you're working long hours - sometimes till three or four in the morning - it's difficult to have a child. "You can't come home and deal with a screaming baby."
"But I think I would be a really good dad.
"I'm not great with tiny babies but I get on very well with children.
"I don't patronise them or speak down to them. I hate it when people do that.
"But I'm too old to start having children."
Terri rejected his fears, insisting:
"It just isn't true. I'm not planning too far ahead, so I don't need to panic just yet."
And she revealed friends are always telling her she could do so much better than TV's Mr Nasty.
But Terri said:
"That's not fair because Simon is lovely. A lot of people just don't get him. But he makes me laugh more than anyone I have ever met."

50 things you need to know about Simon Cowell
1. Simon had his first kiss when he was nine and lost his virginity eight years later.
2. Since then, he's slept with 100 or so women by his best guess. "I based my estimate on when I lost my virginity, figured that it was roughly 25 years ago and guessed that I had slept with an average of three to four women a year," he explains.
3. Those women include lap dancer Georgina Law, '80s pop star Sinitta, and current girlfriend and Extra correspondent Terri Seymour.
4. Sinitta, an African American from Seattle, was also Cowell's first client. With just $17,000, they put together a single and video for her song "So Macho," which went on to sell 900,000 copies.
5. Simon turned out to be a less reliable boyfriend than producer. According to Sinitta, he not only cheated on her three times, he made passes at her sister and her best friend and is "incapable of being faithful."
6. Certainly, no relationship has ever curtailed his strip-club habit, which he indulges girlfriend or no, because, shockingly, he "like[s] it."
7. Cowell has forbidden Seymour from asking him questions after 11 p.m. and suggested she get her boobs enlarged.
8. Last summer, British tabloids reported that he had been cheating on Seymour for six months with Jasmine Lennard, a bisexual 21-year-old former coke addict and model.
9. Simon was once approached by a man who said he would pay six figures to have Cowell judge him and his wife in bed. He refused—which he says he regrets.
10. Simon's ex-girlfriend Jackie, whom he dated 19 years ago and refers to as his "best friend in the world," accompanies him on family vacations with his girlfriend, brothers, and mother.
