Simon Cowell Engaged To Makeup Artist Mezhgan Hussainy

‘He’s probably the happiest I have ever known him,’ ‘American Idol’ judge’s publicist says. By Eric Ditzian Simon Cowell and Mezhgan Hussainy last weekend Photo: Josephine Santos/PacificCoastNews/Newscom Simon Cowell and Ryan Seacrest joked about it during Tuesday night’s “American Idol” broadcast, and rumors have been floating around the Internet for days, but now the news is official: The prickly reality-show judge is engaged. Cowell is set to marry Mezhgan Hussainy, a makeup artist he’s been dating for nearly a year, the future Mrs. Cowell told RadarOnline . The 36-year-old Afghanistan-born Hussainy had been spotted with a massive diamond on her finger following a Valentine’s Day dinner, setting off a stream of speculation about whether the 50-year-old Cowell had finally decided to settle down. Simon Cowell And Mazhgan Hussainy Cowell was previously in a long-term relationship with entertainment correspondent Terri Seymour, who was attacked by an “Idol” fan last May after the show’s season eight finale. At the time, Cowell and Seymour had already ended their relationship. Cowell and Hussainy have reportedly known each other for years, having met on the set of “Idol.” While not specifying when the two plan to marry, Radar suggested a wedding might take place soon. “They are very suited,” Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford told the Web site. “She is someone who is independent and says what she thinks and feels, and he likes that. He’s probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I’ve been working with him.” During a recent British TV interview with fellow “Britain’s Got Talent” judge Piers Morgan, Cowell said that Hussainy is “the one,” according to a report in the Daily Mail. Speaking about his desire to have children, Cowell said, “I think I need to have little Simons around.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Rihanna ‘Rude Boy’ Video Director ‘Wasn’t Trying To Rip Anybody Off’

‘We’re all inspired by similar elements and it came together in that way,’ Melina Matsoukas says of comparisons to M.I.A.’s ‘Boyz’ clip. By Jocelyn Vena Rihanna in her video for “Rude Boy” Photo: Def Jam As soon at Rihanna ‘s new colorful, sassy video for “Rude Boy” hit the Internet, fans and music lovers couldn’t help but compare it to M.I.A.’s video for “Boyz.” However, that reaction isn’t one that the star or the video’s director, Melina Matsoukas, had even considered while they were shooting the clip. “I mean, you know that the video lends from a lot of Rasta culture and ’80s Atari vibe and that’s what we went with too,” Matsoukas said. “And then afterward I was like, ‘Oh, this sucks. They tore down my video.’ And her video’s great too. It definitely wasn’t trying to rip anybody off at all — it was just our approach and the animation stuff, it had a similar vibe. We’ve seen that before with Grace Jones and Andy Warhol, so I don’t know if anybody can lay claim to anything. We’re all inspired by similar elements and it came together in that way.” With nods to Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, the pop-art inspired video is a far cry from the pair’s work on “Hard” — but as soon as they wrapped the latter, they knew they had to work together again. “I mean, ‘Hard’ was our first time together,” the director explained. “[Rihanna] will try anything, which is always great because you have a lot of artists who won’t do what you need them to do. She’ll go there and I definitely wanted to bring that part of her out — that fun side.” Rihanna’s daring fashion sense is also exhibited in the video. “She loves crazy outfits! She loves the fashion. The stylist was actually my best friend. And Rihanna’s one of the only artists that will take it there and wear it and wear it well,” Matsoukas gushed. “That part is always fun. Nothing looks bad on her, so that’s even more fun. She goes with it and she really challenges you to take it a step further with the status quo.” Related Artists Rihanna

Taliban Figure Apprehended, Kardashians Earn High Ratings, Newspaper Reports

Why are newspapers on the verge of bankruptcy? There are a few theories: they don’t charge for online content; immediate access to news via the Internet and cable news have made them irrelevant; and they have their priorities confused. If you need an example of the latter point, look no further than a copy of The Los Angeles Times from last week: The newspaper feauted Khloe, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian on its FRONT page, immediately below news on President Obama’s health care plans and the capture of a major Taliban figure. Imagine what happens if Khloe actually makes a sex tape . She might be above the fold next time!

50 Cent Sued For Posting Sex Tape During Rick Ross Beef

A Florida woman says 50 unlawfully distributed a video of her during one of his Ross disses. By Gil Kaufman 50 Cent Photo: Rick Diamond/ Getty Images A Florida woman prominently featured in a homemade sex tape posted online by 50 Cent last year as part of his feud with Rick Ross has sued 50 (born Curtis Jackson) in New York City, claiming he unlawfully distributed the video over the Internet. According to The Associated Press, Lastonia Leviston filed the lawsuit on Wednesday in Manhattan, claiming unauthorized use of her name or image and emotional distress caused by the public release of a video she made with an unidentified man in 2008. In the tape, Leviston is seen showing off a tattoo on her chest with the initials “RR,” seemingly in reference to Ross, and 50 is heard providing exaggerated voice-over narration to the action in his wigged “Pimpin’ Curly” persona. In the lawsuit, Leviston claims the rapper posted the video on ThisIs50.com last year, blurring out the face of he man in the tape but not hers, and that 50 edited himself into the video. The New York Daily News, reported that Leviston claims she asked the man in the tape, Maurice Murray, to destroy it. He agreed, but then allegedly either gave or sold it to 50. In addition to airing on 50’s site, the video made it onto YouTube and other video-sharing sites and has been seen millions of times, the suit claims. Leviston also claims that 50 spoke about the video on a radio program and referred to her as a “call girl” in it. A spokesperson for 50 could not be reached for comment at press time. The release of the video was part of a long-running beef between 50 and Ross, which featured a number of dis-heavy mixtape songs , mocking animated videos and a clip in which 50 appeared with Tia Kemp , the mother of Ross’ son, who mocked her former partner.

‘American Idol’ Winner Odds Posted On Betting Site

Bodog.com currently has Andrew Garcia as an early favorite with 4-1 odds. By Kyle Anderson Andrew Garcia Photo: FOX The ninth season of “American Idol” has been amusing so far, delivering a number of memorable moments (including Larry Platt’s “Pants on the Ground” and frontrunner Andrew Garcia’s memorable take on Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up”), but the real business starts tonight. The top 24 have been selected, and now the competition becomes heated. The 12 remaining women will sing tonight, with the 12 men performing on Wednesday (February 24). And despite the fact that producer and judge Simon Cowell believes that a woman will win “American Idol” this time around, the short odds are currently on Garcia, the “Straight Up” singer with former gangsters for parents. According to Internet betting site Bodog , Garcia is an early favorite to win the season by a count of 4-1 (meaning that a bet of $1 will return $4). The ‘American Idol’ Season 9 Top 24 Though Bodog believes Garcia is the favorite, a series of women follow in his wake. Would-be diva Ashley Rodriguez follows close behind with 7-1 odds, just in front of Didi Benami (who performed “Hey Jude” for her deceased best friend in her audition and who has the same chances as Rodriguez). Crystal Bowersox (the dreadlocked girl with the adorable son) and Katie Stevens (the 16-year-old singing for her Alzheimer’s-stricken grandmother) round out the top five with odds of 15-2. In fact, you have to go pretty deep into the list to find another guy (the next on the list is Todrick Hall, who shows up with 15-1 odds). And what is Bodog’s opinion on the long shot for this season? That would be Joe Munoz at 65-1 (who is probably down here because the audience knows next- to nothing about him at the moment). Of course, these lines are likely to change once the public really gets to know the singers in the top 24 and the judges begin to weigh in on their work. Still, it’s a reasonable suggestion of where the favorites are and who needs to make some noise once the show gets real tonight. Who do you think is the “American Idol” season-nine favorite?
