Simon offends Taylor, American Idol’s Taylor Hicks was offended by Simon Cowell’s
remark after Hicks’ performance Tuesday night, reports TMZ.com.
Cowell’s comment — ”Are you drunk?” — pushed a sensitive button with Hicks, as he has dealt with others affected by alcohol back in his hometown of Birmingham, Ala.
Taylor is said to occasionally have a drink, but he is definitely not a drinker. And while on Idol, he’s strictly business, often drinking milk with dinner.
Sources say that Hicks was so upset with the comment that he almost said something on the air, but resisted. Meanwhile, Cowell lashes out at both Idol host Ryan Seacrest and judge Paula Abdul, to Extra.
On what Seacrest would be doing if he weren’t the host of Idol: ‘He’d still be, `Hi, it’s Ryan Seacrest. It’s 4:07 a.m., the sun’s coming up, and here comes the Bee Gees.’ ”
Simon also says Seacrest should cough up a piece of the wealth that bought him a reported $11 million bachelor pad and a new Aston Martin. “I think Ryan would be the first to admit that without me he wouldn’t be affording those things.”
On Abdul, Cowell was even more harsh: ”Paula, through me, or mainly through me, has become interesting,” he says. “You come to me as empty vessels and I try to give you a personality, and luckily with Paula it worked.”
Cowell also dishes on Idol hopefuls’ chances. On heartthrob Ace Young: “I think his days are numbered.”
Ditto, he says, for the popular Katharine McPhee: “She’s reaching a point where she’s looking so perfect and sounding so perfect; ironically, it can work against you. She won’t win.”
