Simon Cowell Still Loving Lap Dances

While out at a club, Simon Cowell is seen enjoying a lap dance from an unknown brunette.

It has become pretty clear that American Idol judge Simon Cowell enjoys the company of a lady every now and again. And by company, we mean a lady giving him a lap dance to reward him for all of his hard work discovering unknown talent all over America and Britain. Cowell was spotted out at club VIP in Saint-Tropez, France on Sunday, and during part of his night of fun, he received what appeared to be a lap dance from an unknown brunette. Radar Online has a few nice pictures of the dance and Cowell's surprised face when he realized he was being photographed. Although the mystery woman's face cannot be seen in any of the pictures, she and Cowell appear to be enjoying themselves.

Kara DioGuardi and Katrina Darrell

"Bikini Girl" Does Battle With Kara DioGuardi

The American Idol judge proves why staying in shape at 40 is better than a boob job at 20.

Darrell's facial expression, upon realizing that the 38-year-old both out sang and out stripped her, was priceless. Good thing because the Idol castoff is probably down to her last penny after having mid-season boob job. "I was going to ask what's new," Ryan Seacrest said when Darrell took the stage, "but I think I know."

Simon Says He And Paula Secretly In Love

American Idol judge Simon Cowell finally admitting lovefest with Paula.

American Idol has been the highest rated show on TV since its debut eight seasons ago, and ever since, the show's most talked about judges, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul, have had some sort of "relationship." They have bickered like an old married couple, laughed together, pinched each other, kissed one another, teased, prodded, fought and finally loved.

Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone

Kris Allen's choice on American Idol is a metaphor for male obsession.

Kris Allen knocked out the song "Ain't No Sunshine" on American Idol. The song is a great metaphor for the tendency for guys to obsess. The songwriter, Bill Withers, was telling a universal truth about melancholia, breakup and obsession.

Bikini Heard 'Round The World

Katrina "Bikini" Darrell advances to the next round of American Idol.

As judge DioGuardi discovered, as a woman, it's hard to criticize another good-looking woman without seeming jealous or vengeful. In DioGuardi's defense, she was trying to keep the judges' decisions from focusing on Darrell's hot bod instead of her mediocre voice. But, really, why shouldn't regular folks be a little bit angry at the beautiful people of the world? Studies show that things—like jobs and free cab rides—come easier to those with good looks. Men, in particular, can't help falling for physical beauty, but a great set of eyes or abs are not lost on ladies, either. (Did Obama's good looks help him get elected?)
