Franca Sozzani’s designer wardrobe to be auctioned off

OHMYGOSSIP — Franca Sozzani’s designer wardrobe will be sold on Yoox.
The wardrobe of the late Vogue Italia editor-in-chief will be available to buy on the online fashion retailer two years after her death at the age of 66.
The collection will include 397 ready-to-wear and haute couture pieces, from designers such as Giambattista Valli and Miu Miu and will also feature 190 accessories.
The clothes will be sold in five separate categories, each one representing a time in Franca’s illustrious career and personal style; The Eclectic, The Black Tale, The Londoner, The Unconventional and The Dream Dimension.
Proceeds from the sale will fund the Franca Sozzani Chair in Preventive Genomics at Harvard Medical School, developed by the revered editor’s son, photographer and filmmaker, Francesco Carrozzini.
Franca’s son made the decision to sell the clothes with pal Federico Marchetti, the founder of Yoox, and he intends to use the proceeds to help tackle deadly diseases like the lung cancer that killed his mother.
Franca was one of the most respected editors the publication’s history and Franca was honoured by a host of fashion A-listers in a memorial service in 2017.
According to a post made on Vogue’s website at the time: “Among the congregation who heard them were far, far too many fashion notables to list in full, but just some included Valentino Garavani, Sidney Toledano, Jonathan Newhouse, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Pierpaolo Piccoli, Christopher Bailey, and Sarah Burton.”
Also in attendance were the likes of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, fashion designer, and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, and fashion designers Donatella Versace and Giorgio Armani.

Russell Brand: I’d ruin my life if I cheated on my wife

OHMYGOSSIP — Russell Brand knows he would “destroy his whole life” if he was unfaithful to his wife Laura Gallacher.
The 43-year-old comedian and actor married Laura – with whom he has daughters Mabel, two, and Peggy, six months – in 2017, but the pair originally dated more than a decade ago when Russell was in the height of his turbulent relationship with drug and sex addictions.
And although the pair are both aware of the ‘Get Him to the Greek’ star’s past, he says he won’t act on any thoughts he has toward other women, because he has a “voice” in his head that stops him from ruining his marriage.
He said: “She definitely had misgivings. But I feel like our relationship, and the trust in it, she understands how seriously I take it.
“But nothing good could come from harming her. If I put something in the space between me and her, it would be very detrimental to me. So when I think, ‘Oh, that person is attractive,’ the next thought is, ‘Yes, but if you ever did anything, you realise that would destroy your whole life.’ There’s that voice in my head now.”
When the couple began dating again, they attended a couple’s therapy session for their second date, and Laura still visits the therapist by herself.
Asked whose idea it was, Russell said: “Mine. Because I really believe in that stuff. I don’t want to be a bad person, but I know I have potential, so I like to set up relationships and systems that help me to stay on track.”
And despite having changed his ways, Russell – who was formerly married to Katy Perry from 2010 to 2012 – says he doesn’t regret any of his womanising ways in the light of the #MeToo movement.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, he said: “No. I just feel that [#MeToo] is a really positive change, it’s a sign of real awakening.”

Saira Khan’s kids ‘distressed’ at Gemma Collins and Jason Gardiner row

OHMYGOSSIP — Saira Khan’s kids were “distressed” by the argument between Gemma Collins and Jason Gardiner on ‘Dancing on Ice’ last night (20.01.19).
The 48-year-old TV presenter – who has children Amara, eight, and 11-year-old Zachariah, with husband Steve Hyde – says the youngsters were “upset” at witnessing a row between the two contestants while they were sitting in the audience.
Former ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ star Gemma was receiving feedback from the four judges – Ashley Banjo, Jayne Torvill, Christopher Dean and Jason – when she went on a tirade at the choreographer, accusing him of “selling stories” after he criticised her control on the ice.
Speaking on ‘Loose Women’ via video link, Saira said: “I had my children there yesterday with lots of other children in the audience and then to have an outburst like that on live TV – I have to say my children were actually quite upset and a little bit distressed.
“This is a family show and so I just think if you’re gonna have beef with people take it off the screen we don’t need to show our youngsters that kind of thing.”
Saira didn’t agree with some of the “harsh” comments made by Jason, and insisted that judges have to be “impartial”.
She explained: “I don’t think it’s right for a judge on that show to be talking about a contestant in such harsh terms because they have got to be impartial.
“They give us the feedback on the telly we go away with it and we go away with it and we improve the next week it shouldn’t go over and beyond that.”
During the argument, Jason said: “I know you were channelling Marilyn Monroe … There wasn’t any elegance like you were saying in the VT. She has to be elegant.
“She is a woman in control of her femininity. You were all over the place hun. And as Ashley said, there’s not enough skating. This is your second skate now. You need to up the ante. We’re not going to see big lifts from you. We’re not going to get any impressive moves.”
Gemma fumed: “Can I just say one thing? Maybe if you didn’t sell stories on me, I wouldn’t have been so upset this week. So take that! Boring, boring! Don’t sell stories on me.”

Matt Evers claims Jason Gardiner did sell stories on Gemma Collins

OHMYGOSSIP — Dancing On Ice’s Matt Evers claims Jason Gardiner has been selling stories on Gemma Collins.
While the 42-year-old professional skater agreed with the 47-year-old judge’s criticisms about his routine with Gemma, 37, on Sunday (20.01.19), he has sparked further speculation that the acid-tongue choreographer did indeed sell stories about her, as she accused him of doing so last night.
Speaking on Heart’s ‘Breakfast with Jamie and Lucy’ radio show – which is hosted by Jamie Theakston and Lucy Horobin – he said: “First and foremost I will defend Jason yes there wasn’t a lot of content. I didn’t have a lot of rehearsal time with her this past week. He was absolutely correct saying that, as well as the other judges on that part.
“However, word has it he did sell a couple of stories this week and she went for gold. It was spicy.
“Basically when it comes to ‘DOI’ you have a choice to either go through ITV press office to release interviews and kinda release statements and things like that, it’s a bit controlled but people know what’s happening.
“Thursday the story came out that she was a disgrace to humanity and lack of a better term.”
Jamie asked: “That he had said that?”
The dancer then replied: “Yeah, and basically ITV then came to us because she was really upset by it, and said it didn’t come from our camp that came from Jason himself. Word on the street it was him.”
The former ‘Top of the Pops’ host then questioned: “Do you think there is substance that he has been selling stories?”
Matt: “It sounds like it.”
Earlier this week, Jason called Gemma “lazy” and “mediocre.”
He said: “I can always see who’s lazy. Gemma is lazy. She doesn’t look like her heart is in it at all.”
But the bookies don’t expect Gemma to be heading off the ice anytime soon.
Ladbrokes have made the ex-‘TOWIE’ star a 5/1 shot to depart the competition next weekend, putting her behind Saira Khan (6/4), Didi Conn (5/2) and Ryan Sidebottom (3/1) in the betting.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “She’s continuing to make headlines and the latest odds suggest The GC won’t be leaving the ice any time soon.”

Donald Trump receives three Razzie nominations

Puppet-noir comedy ‘The Happytime Murders’, ‘Gotti’ and ‘Holmes & Watson’ all got six nods each, and ‘Happytime Murders’ also received a worst screen combo nomination for its actor-puppet interactions, “especially in those creepy sex scenes”.
All three are shortlisted for Worst Picture, alongside ‘Robin Hood’ and ‘Winchester’.
Johnny’s ex-wife Amber Heard was also nominated for Worst Actress for her performance in the ‘London Fields’ adaptation, alongside the star of ‘The Happytime Murders’, Melissa McCarthy, Jennifer Garner for ‘Peppermint’, Dame Helen Mirren (‘Winchester’) and Amanda Seyfried (‘The Clapper’).

Kym Marsh praises ‘brave’ Tina O’Brien

OHMYGOSSIP — Kym Marsh thought she was a “terrible parent” when she was bringing up her kids on her own.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star sympathises with anyone who goes through postnatal depression after admitting she used to give herself a “hard time” and tell herself she wasn’t a good mum when she was bringing up son David Cunliffe, 23, and daughter, Emilie Cunliffe, 22, alone.
The 42-year-old actress, who admits she didn’t suffer from post-natal depression, said: “By the time I was 23 I was living by myself with two young children.
“You have a lot on your plate and you think you’re a terrible parent and you give yourself a hard time, so if you also have postnatal depression it can be doubly hard.”
Her comments come after her ‘Corrie’ co-star Tina O’Brien revealed last week she had suffered “very bad” postnatal depression after giving birth to her daughter Scarlett, who is now 10, and Kym has praised her “brave” fellow cobbles resident for speaking out about the issue.
Writing in her OK! magazine column, she added: “I think it’s very brave of Tina to speak out now.
“We in the public eye are in a position to help others by sharing our experiences and it’s good to destigmatise issues surrounding mental health.
“I never suffered postnatal depression but I’ve known women who have and it can be life-changing.
“People sometimes think it just ‘baby blues’ but it’s so much work.
“Tina also wrote about being a single mum and how hard it can be. It’s hard work.”
Tina admitted her life was “pretty dark” for “a little while” after having her daughter – who she shares with former co-star Ryan Thomas – 10 years ago, and she feels “so sad” reminiscing about how tough things were post-birth.
She wrote: “#10yearchallenge wouldn’t be complete without my incredible 10 year old daughter. I wish I could tell the scared and fragile Tina of 10 years ago it’s going to be ok, you will get through this. I had very bad postnatal depression even looking at the pic on the left reminds me how bad it was and that makes me so sad. I wish I’d had the confidence to ask for help. Life felt pretty dark for a little while. Luckily the dark days eventually lifted. I was then a single mum, times when absolutely no income was coming in. I’d be lying if I said it was easy. 2009 was a tough year But to get through things sure as hell makes you stronger. (sic)”

Matt Lucas pokes fun at EastEnders’ Ben Mitchell

OHMYGOSSIP — Matt Lucas has poked fun at ‘EastEnders’ after Ben Mitchell was recast for a sixth time.
The 44-year-old actor has joked he is “next week’s Ben Mitchell” after it was announced today (21.01.19) that Max Bowden has joined the BBC One soap as the latest actor to play the character, who was last portrayed by Harry Reid.
He wrote on Twitter: “Thrilled to announce I’m next week’s Ben Mitchell (sic)”
The former ‘Doctor Who’ star’s quip comes after Max admitted he is delighted to have landed the role.
He said: “I’m so excited to be joining the cast of ‘EastEnders’ and taking on the role of Ben Mitchell.
“I’ve always been a fan of the show so to be joining one of the most iconic families in soap is beyond exciting. I can’t wait to get started and see what’s in store for Ben.”
Ben will return to Albert Square alongside Lola Pearce (Danielle Harold) and their daughter Lexi Mitchell – and ‘EastEnders’ boss Kate Oates is keen to explore Ben’s “complex psychology” further.
She said: “A character like Ben, with his rich history, ‘complicated’ family and complex psychology, is pure gold.
“With Max in the role, we will be exploring the aspects of Ben’s character that have been allowed to develop during his time away from the Square: unfettered by old loyalties, and out of the long shadow of his father, Phil.”
Before Harry took on the role of Ben, the character was played by Joshua Pascoe from 2010 to 2012 after he replaced Charlie Jones, who starred as Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden) son from 2006 to 2010.
Matthew Silver first starred as the character when he was just a baby from 1996 to 1998, and Morgan Whittle had the part from 1999 to 2001.

Alexandra Burke too busy to plan wedding

OHMYGOSSIP — Alexandra Burke is too busy to plan her wedding.
The ‘Bad Boys’ hitmaker got engaged to stage manager Joshua Ginnelly over a year ago but they still haven’t set a date to tie the knot because their work schedules are too hectic, however it isn’t something they are worried about as they have so many other things they want to do before settling down.
She said: “I always did say it wouldn’t happen in 2019 because I knew I wanted to work and there’s a lot more that I want to do before I get married.
“It’s about enjoying this moment in life – we want to travel a little bit more before settling down. And there’s no time to plan anything! I’m not handing over my life to a wedding planner as I want to be a part of it all and make sure that Josh and I are happy with everything.”
“If you’re only going to do it once you may as well make it as perfect as you can.”
The couple have recently both been working on a touring production of ‘The Bodyguard’ but rarely saw one another because of their different working hours.
The 30-year-old star told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “I never saw him.
“I didn’t realise how stressful it was for people taking a set on tour and making sure it opens on time.
“There’s a lot of pressure for him. His hours were different to mine because he had to go in earlier so I never really saw him apart from weekends – which is better than nothing.
“It’s very strange, I see him more when I don’t work with him.”
But the couple may soon have more time to plan their nuptials as the former ‘X Factor’ winner is planning to scale back her theatre work when she finishes her current ‘Bodyguard’ commitment.
She said: “If I’m honest, this will probably be my last one for a while.
“I want to concentrate on other things and as much as I love theatre you don’t have time for anything else.”

Jodie Kidd refused to be ‘miserable’ on strict diets

OHMYGOSSIP — Jodie Kidd decided to stop following strict diets because restricting the types of food she ate left her feeling “miserable, tired and hungry”.
The 40-year-old model has released her own wellbeing book with her personal trainer Amelie Khellaf-Govett, entitled ‘Balance Your Life: A 6-week Eating and Exercise Plan for a Calmer, Healthier You’, which provides readers with time-efficient workout routines and nutritiously balanced meals.
Jodie decided to create her own book with French nutritionist Amelie because as a busy working mother she could no longer stick to eating plans that restricted specific food types because she lacked energy to do everything she had to do in a day.
Jodie – who has seven-year-old son Indio with with her ex-boyfriend, Argentinian polo player Andrea Vianini – said: “I’m kind of at the stage where I’ve had kids and am working, super-busy and want to look after myself, but every time I try to do a new plan or diet or go to the gym it was either traumatic because someone either beasted you at the gym that you just never wanted to go back.
“Or the diets were so strict that you just felt miserable and tired and hungry. So I thought there’s got to be something out there that’s more realistic that mums can follow, that is easier. So we created this, it’s brilliant, it’s going down really well and I’m really, really proud!”
Jodie has included numerous recipes which has replacement ingredients for sugar and she admits she was inspired to find alternatives after being shocked by the sugar content in one of her son’s favourite packs of cereal.
Appearing on ‘The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show’ on BBC Radio 2 on Monday morning (21.01.19), she said: “I was just looking at Indio’s pack of cereal. There is an unbelievable amount of sugar in everything and it’s not good for you. It really isn’t. But to cook with it’s quite important so we use alternatives like agave or coconut sugar or something like that. There’s all these things out there that you can use instead that are much better for you that are not refined.”

Glenn Close: Older women don’t lose their sexuality

OHMYGOSSIP — Glenn Close thinks it’s a myth that women lose their “sexuality” as they get older.
The 71-year-old actress – who has been married and divorced four times – has insisted that her sexuality has not been diminished by the passing of time.
The Hollywood legend shared: “It’s one of the great myths that you lose your sexuality as you get older. One night last year, I was coming across town from the East Village [in New York City] to the West. It was late on a Friday night and there were a lot of couples on the street. [Her dog] Pippy and I were looking out of the car window and I could feel what all those couples were feeling.”
Glenn explained that in spite of her age, she could still relate to the “sense of intimacy” that she witnessed on the streets of New York.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, the veteran actress said: “I could feel their excitement, the sense of intimacy about to happen. It was extremely powerful.”
Meanwhile, Glenn also revealed she thinks it will be “fascinating” to observe the impact of the #MeToo movement.
The ‘Fatal Attraction’ actress hopes that the fallout from the Hollywood sex scandal will prompt a cultural shift within the movie business.
She said: “I think the effect of it all will be fascinating to see.
“When women have more of a chance, all these great stories are going to come out. And it won’t just be about them. I long for the day when people say, ‘This is a fantastic movie,’ rather than, ‘This is a fantastic women’s movie.’
“We have to keep the issue of the empowerment of women at the forefront because it’s something that won’t become part of our culture unless a lot of people fight for it.”

John Barrowman up for Dancing On Ice return

OHMYGOSSIP — John Barrowman would love to return to ‘Dancing on Ice’.
The 51-year-old actor appeared on the first series of the ITV figure skating competition, and became the fourth celebrity to be voted off along with his professional partner Olga Sharutenko back in 2006.
John has so many fond memories of his time on the ice that he would accept an offer to return to the rink in a heartbeat if the producers did an all-star special.
The former ‘Doctor Who’ star filled in for Phillip Schofield alongside Holly Willoughby on ‘This Morning’ on Monday (21.01.19), and the blonde presenter suggested he could make a comeback on the ice, prompting John to reply: “I’m always up for doing programmes and that’s what I loved about the jungle. They were good challenges it’s not a back-stabbing event and ‘Dancing on Ice’ is where you learn a skill, you get challenged and you have to prove yourself and that’s what I liked about it. And if I was ever asked about it, I might do it again. I’ve still got the skates! I’ve still got the same skates they’re in my closet. I’m not in it anymore but the skates are!”
John came third on ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ in December, the jungle reality show that Holly co-hosted with Declan Donnelly in place of his usual co-presenter Ant McPartlin.

Halsey feeling broody

OHMYGOSSIP — Halsey is “dying” to have a child of her own.
The ‘Without Me’ singer – who previously revealed she had a miscarriage in 2016 and suffers from endometriosis, which can affect fertility – enjoyed a cuddle with her manager’s daughter over the weekend and admitted she had “borrowed” the tot in the absence of a “squish” of her own.
Sharing a photo of herself holding the little girl and giving her a kiss on the cheek, she captioned the Instagram post: “dying for my own squish. borrowing @jasonaron and @marisa.aron ‘s squish for now. (sic)”
The ‘Bad at Love’ hitmaker previously revealed she has chosen to have her eggs frozen so she has the option of having children when she’s older.
She explained: “When I tell people that, they’re like, ‘You’re 23, why do you need to do that? Why do you need to freeze your eggs?’
“Doing ovarian reserve is important for me, because I’m fortunate enough to have that as an option, and I need to be aggressive about protecting my fertility [and] about protecting myself.
“Taking these measures to make sure that I get to have a hopefully bright future and achieve the things that I want to achieve by doing the ovarian reserve is really important.”
The ‘Bad At Love’ hitmaker also spoke of how she never wants to led endometriosis – which causes the tissue that lines the uterus to grow outside of it – control her life as she recalled miscarrying during a gig shortly after discovering she was pregnant.
She said: “Before I could really figure out what that meant to me and what that meant for my future, for my career, for my life, for my relationship, the next thing I knew I was on stage miscarrying in the middle of my concert.
“And the sensation of looking a couple hundred teenagers in the face while you’re bleeding through your clothes and still having to do the show, and realising in that moment that I never want to make that choice ever again of doing what I love or not being able to because of this disease.”

Sarah Jessica Parker teases Carrie Bradshaw return

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Jessica Parker is making a “brief reappearance” as Carrie Bradshaw.
The 53-year-old actress has teased fans with a short video proclaiming the return of her iconic ‘Sex and the City’ character – who she last played in a second movie in 2010 – but didn’t offer many details.
In the video, Sarah donned a ballerina-style tulle skirt and stilettos as she walked the streets of New York while the HBO show’s famous theme tune played in the background.
She captioned the Instagram post: “My old friend. She is making a brief reappearance. Partnering with a great brand and supporting a cause we all care about. More to come. X, SJ #PourItForward (sic)”
While it hasn’t been confirmed why Carrie will be back, it is possibly connected to Stella Artois and Water.org’s Pour It Forward initiative, which helps provide clean drinking water to developing countries.
In September 2018, the actress announced plans for a third ‘SATC’ movie had been scrapped, with it later rumoured that her co-star Kim Cattrall had refused to reprise her role as Samantha Jones.
The following month, Kim admitted she had “never been friends” with her co-stars and had “moved on” from the franchise.
The actress then publicly slammed Sarah Jessica by claiming she had a “toxic” relationship with her, and later accused her of “exploiting” her tragedy after she publicly sent her condolences to Kim when her brother passed away.
Kim said: “My Mom asked me today ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’ Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven’t already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I’m writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your ‘nice girl’ persona. (sic)”
However, the ‘Divorce’ star insisted she was “not in a fight” with Kim.
She said: “If one more person calls this a catfight … I’m not in a fight.
“I never fought with Kim. I don’t have to send any gifts to Kim, because I’ve never done anything. She has felt perfectly comfortable to say lots of things. That’s the beauty of living in a democracy, but I have no apologies, meaning, this isn’t a catfight.
“This is someone who chose to talk about something and myself, I remain grateful for her work and the role she played on and off camera for all the years we spent together.”

Simon Mayo lands job on new classical station

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Mayo is to lead the presenting line-up for a new classical music radio station.
The 60-year-old DJ – who left his BBC Radio 2 drivetime show after eight years shortly before Christmas – will host a mid-morning programme on Scala Radio, which will launch on 4 March, and his segment will boast celebrity interviews, listener interaction and a classical version of his popular ‘Confessions’ feature from his former stint on the airwaves.
Simon vowed the station, which is owned by Bauer Media, will be different to its rivals such as Classic FM and BBC Radio 3.
He said: “There are hundreds of radio stations playing rock and pop, and only two classical music stations up until now.
“We’re different because we’re going all out to entertain, laugh with the listeners, and have a good time. Some of it will be familiar, some new and exciting but all timeless, beautiful and all absolutely relevant to today.”
Simon – who co-hosted drivetime with Jo Whiley for the last seven months of his run – will continue to co-present his BBC Radio 5 Live’s Friday film show with Mark Kermode, and his fellow presenter has also landed a slot on Scala Radio, in which he will play film scores.
DJs Goldie and William Orbit will both front series for the new station, while Angellica Bell and Chris Rogers have been given weekend slots, while DJs Goldie and William Orbit will front their own series.
Other presenters on the new stations will include Charles Nove, Mark Forrest, Sam Hughes and Jamie Crick.
Simon previously suggested he was leaving BBC Radio 2 to focus on his writing career.
Announcing his departure, he previously said: “So. A few things to say. Very sadly, I have decided to move on from Radio 2. Sad to leave the show, sad to leave Jo, sad to leave Wogan House (I thought I’d be dragged out aged 120). But circumstances change…
“Juggling my writing and radio has become increasingly tricky (a nice problem to have). I’ve just signed a new two-book deal with the nice folk at Transworld and they’ll be expecting something half decent before too long.
“On top of that my Itch books are about to be filmed for television in Australia and the work turning Mad Blood Stirring into a movie continues apace.”

Khloe Kardashian empowered by daughter

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian’s daughter has made her feel like she can “do anything”.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star – who has nine-month-old True with partner Tristan Thompson – loves how she always feels “complete bliss” when she’s with the tot and her baby empowers her to take on whatever comes her way.
She gushed to ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “My favorite part about being a mom, I mean it’s so corny, but it’s just like, no matter how tired you are, it’s complete bliss, no matter what.
“I mean, Christmas Day, I was so hungover and I was like, ‘How am I gonna get through this day?’ And just when you see your baby, and how happy [she is], you just get through it. I was like, ‘OK, I feel like I can do anything. I could do this.’
“It’s just the best, and the love that you get and that you also get to give and receive… it’s just, it’s beautiful.”
The 34-year-old star admitted being a parent has given her a new perspective on life and she no longer worries about saying no to things she doesn’t want to do.
She added: “It’s so much more fun [to see the world through her eyes].
“Our lives, they get busy and things get heavy, and then to see the innocence of a child, I just always [lighten up].
“I think also motherhood just puts life into perspective and what’s important to you.
“I think you just reevaluate things, like, ‘I don’t want to do that tonight.’ And it’s OK to say no, so I can spend time with my family.”
Khloe is very impressed by True’s latest milestone as the tot has learned to clap.
She said: “All the time, [like], ‘Go, Mommy, go!’ ”

Simon Cowell would bid for talent show success with son and dogs

OHMYGOSSIP — Simon Cowell would be “happy” to enter a TV talent show with his son and their dogs – even though it would be a “disaster”.
The 59-year-old star – who has four-year-old Eric with partner Lauren Silverman – has seen hundreds of different acts bid for success in his role as a judge on the likes of ‘America’s Got Talent’ and ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and he knows how he’d try and impress the panel if he was forced to get on stage with his little boy.
He told People magazine: “We’d either do a swinging balancing trick or try out and train our dogs who are the worst behaved dogs in the world.
“Probably the latter and it would be a disaster but I would be happy to do that.”
Simon – who has three Yorkshire terriers named Squidly, Diddly, and Freddy – admitted his stance as a judge has changed since he became a father, especially when it comes to the younger hopefuls.
He explained: “Now Eric is older, he’s nearly five. I can see the show through his eyes. It’s very interesting sometimes I can notice with the show when he switches on and off, so that’s a huge help.
“Because I have Eric now, I look at the younger contestants in a very different light, thinking, ‘Oh God what if that was him?’ ”
The music mogul is fascinated by the way the ‘Got Talent’ shows have changed young people’s ambitions.
He said: “What’s so interesting, I’ve been saying for the past three or four years, a lot of kids who years ago wanted to be a singer, now want to be a comedian, magician, dancer or acrobat.
“So in that way, it’s changed people’s aspirations about fame is all about and how talented you have to be and the time you have to put in.”
