Simon Cowell“I think she was in awe of me,” told the British press recently. Currently in country to work on the X-Factor, Cowell will soon be Stateside for the eighth season of American Idol. And, according to him, the reality TV contestants aren’t the only ones who seem to be overwhelmed in his very big presence.

When visited the show, Cowell said she was awed by him, though he admitted the statement “may be a bit egotistical.” Ego from you, Simon? Never! “She was just staring at me,” he admitted. “I said ‘touch me, I’m human,’ and I think that broke the ice.”

Cowell recently told the British media that he may not return for another season of X-Factor, though he’s been threatening the same of for years.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta's NeneUPDATE: Leakes has made a statement denying she was ever “evicted” from her home.

Who knew when we were watching reunion special that there was more dish to tell? So much time was spent on NeNe’s relationship with her former BFF, that no one was aware of her situation back at home.

According to an Atlanta paper, the woman who Entertainment Weekly named one of “Bravo’s Entertainers of the Year” was recently evicted from her rented Duluth home. This was the 5,000 square foot residence that viewers got to see on the hit reality show. The report states that NeNe and her husband, Greg, were served an eviction notice back in September after accumulating over $6,000 in overdue payments. The couple, who had been living in the home since 2006, moved out in November.

Jessica Szohr and Ed WestwickWatch out Penn and Blake. Looks like there might be another on-set couple aiming to steal your thunder.

According to spies for both the New York Post and W Magazine, Gossip Girl co-stars Jessica Szohr (Vanessa) and (Chuck) got quite cozy this holiday weekend. The two, along with Chace Crawford (Nate), were all stuck in the Dallas/Fort Worth airport on Sunday on their way back to New York. (The trio may have been visiting Crawford’s family in the Plano area.) It’s in that oh-so-romantic terminal where kisses were witnessed.

“They were trying to be discreet by stealing kisses near the gate,” one tipster reported. Another spy said their flirtation was not something that could be mistaken. “Not a French kiss, but a smooch definitely. They were being very flirty when people were not paying attention.”

So were Jessica and Ed still drunk on spiked eggnog…or are they really pursuing off-screen what Chuck and Vanessa came very close to doing on? Sounds like we need to get GG on the case!

Geri HalliwellGeri Halliwell

Geri Halliwell brought her own kind of spice to the 2008 BAFTA Children’s Awards in London last night.

Despite a seemingly flawless appearance from the front, Halliwell’s ensemble had one major issues in back. Her dress + wind = revealing red carpet number.

Granted - had she been wearing underwear, we wouldn’t be commenting on her exposed skin. But then we’d probably be criticizing her for pulling a Gwyneth Paltrow.

Argggh. Why don’t men ever have these wardrobe issues?

And to think - just 4 months ago, Balthazar Getty was releasing far more eloquent statements.

Just when we thought there was hope for Balthazar, the 33-year-old actor disappointed us once again. Although it was earlier believed that he had Sienna Miller had broken up, the Brothers & Sisters star was kind enough to set the record straight yesterday. The reason the two were reunited in London over the Thanksgiving holiday was because they supposedly never broke up.

After being greeted by the paps at the airport (something he should be used to by now), Getty used a few choice words to explain the confusion. “The quote that came out the other day about her saying we split up was a quote they plucked out of thin f—kin air. It was bulls—t.” Wow. I wonder what he’ll have to say when they really break up!

Tina Fey's scar

Although it seems like we’ve seen just about everywhere this year, there’s still a lot about the comedienne we don’t know. And for the first time, we’re finally learning more about one of the 30 Rock actress’ secrets.

In the January issue of , Fey’s husband, Jeff Richmond, reveals the story behind the 38-year-old’s noticeable, yet subtle, scar. The facial imperfection was a result of a stranger slashing a then 5-year-old child. “It was in, like, the front yard of her house, and somebody who just came up, and she just thought somebody marked her with a pen,” Richmond said.

Winona Ryder is being investigated by police after a theft resulted in the loss of jewels worth $125,000. The rocks were Winona’s…kinda.

A diamond-encrusted Bulgari bracelet and ring, on loan to the actress for her use during a Marie Claire magazine party, have mysteriously come up missing in Spain. The actress (who has been almost totally off the radar for the last several years - who the hell decided to give her jewelry?) was convicted in 2001 of shoplifting. This is in no way related to this current jewel threat, but does bear mentioning.

Police involved with the case have not commented. Reps for Ryder have likewise offered no comment - giving the press free reign to speculate wildly. Let the gossip begin.

has a new MTV special, a new album and even a five-year plan for her future. Brit’s last plan (marry K-Fed, have a couple of kids, live happily ever after) didn’t quite work out. Maybe this one will.

“In five years, I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable,” Spears offered up her opinions in the latest issue of magazine. Is this meant to be a direct dig at her kids’ actual father, K-Fed, or just a random future wish from Brit?

“It’s hard doing it on your own,” Spears added in her interview, in what would certainly seem to be a pointed remark in ’s direction.

But before you boys start lining up to become step daddy number one, you’d better learn about Britney’s new habits.
