'Extra' Simon Says...

The King of Mean is sounding off on everyone from Clay Aiken and the latest "Idol" to walk the plank -- to one show-stopping surprise -- and only "Extra" has the exclusive sit-down with Simon Cowell!

Tuesday night on "American Idol," Cowell told dreadlocked crooner Jason Castro to pack his bags -- and America agreed. "He looked like he couldn't care less," said Simon of Castro's elimination.

From "Idol" present to "Idol" past -- Simon takes a slap at second season runner-up Clay, who dissed the show in a new interview -- and caused one hairy situation! Seeing Aiken's new blond hairdo, Cowell quipped, "So that was Nancy Grace, where's Clay? It's just that hair. I can't listen to him."

Simon did, however, entertain the notion of a face-off between TV's top judges, himself and Bruno from "Dancing with the Stars!" "He comes on 'American Idol,' I go on 'Dancing with the Stars,'" says Cowell. Find out if it's going to happen as Simon and Bruno make history on "Extra" next week!

I guess his mother never washed his mouth out with soap - too bad. His p-ss poor attitude about everything (other than his love for himself) makes me really wonder why he has any popularity at all here in the US. Perhaps it is only the misfits who can relate to him. He can take all of his money and put it where the sun doesn’t shine as far as I am concern. Nasty person.

It kinda makes me wonder how Extra gets away with having Simon’s girlfriend interview him. Isn’t that who the girl is?

LoriGeorge - I think you meant FIT, when you were referring to Clay’s producer. His producer for this new cd is Kipper, who was Sting’s producer more than once. He did a super job. This new cd is just fabulous, and I am wondering if you have not heard it yet. There is something for everyone on it, from ballads, to upbeat, to a jazzy sound, a country sound, and a bit of a CC touch. Really beautiful.

As for his appearance, I was not wild for the blond hair at first, but it is growing on me. Perhaps, a different style would be better, but he is still a really good looking man. As for his physique, trust me. It doesn’t get much better than this!!!!!!!!

I love Simon and I love Clay:
I have to be honest I am not a huge fan of Clay any longer. He does not seem to have the right fir of producers around him writing for him and doing his personal physique any justice. Whether Clay has a hair color change or not. His best look by far was when he was on Idol. He can be annoying because he is a nervous talker. I can relate to that. Simon should keep his personal feelings to himself when it comes to former Idols that he disliked. It does make Simon look a bit like a sore loser. Simon is a sweetie with a very gentle heat. Clay just happens to rub him the wrong way. We all have people like this yes?
Peace

Simon has never gotten over Clay getting out of his contract, and succeeding beyond his wildest imagination, despite their best efforts to stop him with their constant barbs. He KNOWS Clay is supremely talented in every way, and is extremely attractive, so he has resorted to picking on his hair!!!!
Clay NEVER fails to be appreciative of his Idol start, and he was the first they called to help Paula with her Corey fiasco, and look what they do to him on an almost daily basis.
Clay’s new cd is fabulous, and it is so obvious they have managed to avoid letting him come on the show to promote it. It’s really sickening, and this show should go down the tubes SOON.

Wait a minute Simon. First Clays looks fabulous with his new hair style. At least he’s not boring in his hairstyle and the same old same old clothes! And what did you and the other two laugh at about him every week? He is the only male performer that I know of (except this year cause I quit watching) that did everything he was asked of by you 3 judges?! And Clay hardly “blasted” or “dissed” AI. He was asked if he watched it and what was opinion. He said he’d like to see it go back to contestants that are a little more innocent. And what did Simon say????!!!! Idol was going to have to go to younger contestants in the future!!!! 14-16 years of age!!!! Where was the blast or the diss??? And Clay looking like Nancy Grace???!!!! Good Lord, simon has totally lost it!!!

Simon has never liked Clay. He has his favorites and he’s opinionated. He’s fine on Idol (although he went WAY overboard on his criticisms of Jason Castro), but when he talks outside of the Idol judges desk, he comes off as an arrogant doofus.

Simon is still pissed because he backed Ruben and Clay is the real winner of season 2. Jealous with a capitsl J.

He should talk. His hair looks like it was cut by his mommy with a bowl on his head.

Alright!!! A long Simon interview!!! I can’t wait!!!! Simon is the BOMB, and I love him to tears!!!! I hate to think of Idol ending in two weeks and him going back to England.

C’mon guys. Whatever you think of Simon, you have to admit that that’s not Clay’s most flattering look.

And I suppose Cowell thinks his hairdo is something to really brag about. Funny man. Many young men have hair similiar to the way Aiken wears his — it’s called being in style Simon.

Why does anyone listen to this male b***h or care what he thinks about anything? He has no talent for himself and all he does is bash on those who do.

Maybe Simon needs to look in the mirror before he starts insulting the looks of other people.

Simon Cowell suffers from SMS (Short Man Syndrome) where he compensates for his height by using his mouth. What a blowhard.
