Simon Cowell is focused solely on a future with Lauren Silverman and their unborn baby, a new report says, in spite of the shocking way this scandal broke. The X Factor judge may’ve been blindsided by the pregnancy just like we were, but almost immediately said that his future child will “want for nothing.” Cowell plans to gladly provide for the child, and not just financially. He plans to be a committed, involved parent with a big role in raising the child. Which begs the question of his current status with his baby mama. As for Lauren Silverman , he reportedly felt betrayed by the pregnancy revelation, but at the same time, he’s never been happier than when he’s with her. Simon is telling friends he knows the situation is “complicated,” but he’s confident it will all pass and his relationship with Lauren will endure this. First, it will have to endure her divorce from his good friend. Andrew Silverman is seeking primary custody of their son, 7, because Lauren is deficient as a parent who’s often MIA and partying with celebs, he says. He found out of her affair with Simon this year, but was stunned to see them kissing in a photo dated last summer, and how thinks Cowell is a home-wrecker . There is a prenup in place and money issues in the split are “minor.” As previously stated, Simon will make sure she and his child are set for life basically. The real issue is custody, and because Andrew feels truly humiliated and doesn’t think Lauren is a very good parent, that has the potential to get ugly. All three people involved want the divorce to happen quickly because it’s an image disaster. Time will tell if they can work together to make it happen.

Michael Ansara, a rugged character actor perhaps best known for his role on three different TV iterations of Star Trek, has died at the age of 91. Ansara, who was married to actress Barbara Eden of I Dream of Jeannie fame, died July 31 at his home in Calabasas, Calif., after a prolonged illness. Born in a small village in Syria to American parents, Ansara is beloved by Star Trek fans for his portrayal of his character, Klingon warrior Kang. The actor played Kang on three versions of the legendary sci-fi franchise: the original (1968), Deep Space Nine (1994) and Voyager (1996). He also had major roles in such films as Julius Caesar and The Robe, Jupiter’s Darling, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and The Greatest Story Ever Told . Ansara came to the U.S. with his American parents at the age of 2. As a teen, he and his family relocated to California, and he entered Los Angeles City College with the intention of becoming a doctor, not an actor. A stint at the Pasadena Playhouse (where fellow students included Charles Bronson, Carolyn Jones and Aaron Spelling) led to roles on stage and in films. Michael Ansara was married to Eden from 1958-74. Their son, Matthew Michael Ansara, died in 2001.
