Yup, I’m sure he’s not the type to pull a stunt like that. Then again, should we even be surprised if the press fabricates stuff like these??? It doesn’t make it right, but it is what it is. A lot of celebrities have been unjustly accused of way, way worse things than this. He’s been pretty good at nipping controversies in the bud before it escalates anyway.

Simon is too professional, mature, and responsible to pull a Britney. And I know for a fact that he had the flu last week, because Ryan called him on the phone during his radio show, and he not only said that he was sick, he also sounded miserable. I’m sure it was a disappoinment to Simon to have to miss the photo shoot. The media doesn’t have to twist the knife by saying that he faked sick and was just having a diva moment. Simon just would not do that.
