Lauren Silverman Simon Cowell expecting first child with close friend’s wife Lauren Silverman simon cowell andrew silverman

Simon Cowell expecting first child with close friend’s wife Lauren Silverman: report

The 'X Factor' Judge is reportedly starting a family with the 36-year-old New York socialite, she is '10 weeks along.'

 Lauren Silverman is said to be carrying Cowell's child. The pair, pictured here in August 2012 vacationed together on several different occasions while Silverman's husband was on board.


Is Simon Cowell about to become a father?
The 53-year-old "X Factor" judge is reportedly expecting a baby with New York socialite Lauren Silverman, according to an Us Weekly report.

"She's around 10 weeks along," the insider dished to the mag, however, there is a little more to the story than that.

The 36-year-old brunette is still married to one of Cowell's close pals, Andrew Silverman, who is a real estate mogul in New York City.
"Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while," a source told Us of the estranged spouses.



Lauren Silverman attends a party celebrating the launch of 'Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell' by Tom Bower at The Serpentine Gallery in 2012.

"As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close."

Silverman and Cowell were photographed on several different occasions soaking up the sun on the music mogul's yacht — but her husband, who she allegedly plans to leave to be with the father of her child, was only a few feet away as he was on board during these luxurious vacations.
Cowell certainly appears to have a type as he has a bevy of brown-haired beauties as ex-girlfriends.

Silverman has a striking resemblance to his past lovers like Jackie St.Clair, Terri Seymour and former fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy.

Cowell's last public relationship was with TV personality Carmen Electra, the couple opened up about their union in December 2012 but shortly after Cowell confirmed their split in February 2013.
"I'm now a single man. We spent time together and she is so much fun," he told the Sunday People at the time.



Some of Simon Cowell's exes have striking similarities: (from left) Jackie St.Clair, Terri Seymour and former fiancee Mezhgan Hussainy.

Prior to Electra, 40, he was engaged to makeup artist Hussainy before news first broke in September 2011 that the pair had called off their 18-month engagement.



Cowell was all smiles when photographed leaving St.Martin's Theatre with Silverman in late March after watching the longest running show in the world in London.

Despite having many serious girlfriends, entering parenthood with any of his past loves is something Cowell has said he was not exactly cut out for.
"God, no. I couldn't have children. If I had them here drawing on the walls I'd go nuts," he said in an interview in 2009.



Simon Cowell hangs out on his super yacht with ex-girlfriend Sinitta, and Andrew Silverman and Lauren Silverman in St. Tropez, France, in early August 2011.

"With kids, you've got a routine you can't escape from. You've got to be up at a certain time. Got to listen. When all you want to do is sit in a corner thinking."
As years have passed it appeared the outspoken Cowell had softened up a bit on the idea of having kids.
"Well ... yes," he said when asked by AOL in March 2012 if he'd had a change of heart on the topic.
"And, no. I do really, really like kids, because I can talk to them and listen to them. The problem has always been how much time you need to devote to bringing up kids. I've always dedicated all my life to work, and at 52, I've probably missed the opportunity."

Eileen Brennan Taxi ()


Review Summary

Taxi driver Daniel (Samy Naceri) gets out of a traffic offense by making a deal with arresting-officer Emilien (Frederic Diefenthal). A friendship develops as Daniel chauffeurs Emilien about, and soon the two are in pursuit of German bank robbers. This film was scripted by Luc Besson during the 30 days he waited for Columbia's decision on his The Fifth Element, and it was completed on the day Columbia okayed The Fifth Element. After a fall from a horse put director Gerard Pires in the hospital, director Gerard Krawczyk subbed since permits issued by Marseilles cited a set time period, and the start date could not be changed.

Eileen Brennan Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005)

Eileen Brennan Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous ()


Review Summary  

Wading through this junky sequel to her genial goofball hit "Miss Congeniality," Sandra Bullock looks as if she would rather be shoveling pig waste ­— though of course in some respects that is exactly what she's doing. Set a mere three weeks after the first film, which was released in 2000, "Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous" finds Ms. Bullock as the charmingly clumsy F.B.I. agent Gracie Hart, vainly fending off unwanted celebrity. On her last assignment, Gracie infiltrated a beauty pageant by metamorphosing from duckling to swan, a mission that earned her legions of fans across the country. After hers cover is blown during a bank heist, endangering her and the other agents on her team, the powers that be decide that she should become "the face of the F.B.I.," the idea being that flouncing about in designer threads will be better for Gracie’s soul and career ­ and by extension, this movie ­ than pushing pencils. It isn’t. — Manohla Dargis

Eileen Brennan The Cheap Detective (1978)

Eileen Brennan The Cheap Detective ()


Review Summary 

Spoofing the entire 1940s detective genre, and his own performances as a bumbling private detective, Peter Falk plays Lou Pekinpaugh, a San Francisco private detective accused of murdering his partner at the instigation of his mistress, the partner's wife, Georgia Merkle (Marsha Mason). Police Lieutenant DiMaggio (Vic Tayback) has his eye on Lou and blunders around in a way which complicates Lou's efforts to clear his name. Lou gets a new client when Mrs. Montenegro (Madeline Kahn) and her cronies (John Housman, Paul Williams and Dom DeLuise) hire him to search out a dozen diamond eggs. Marlene DuChard (Louise Fletcher) also comes to him for help of a complicated nature. In this madcap comedy written by Neil Simon, obstacles and complications appear every few minutes, and a great many famous actors show up in hilarious cameos. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

Eileen Brennan At Long Last Love (1975)

Eileen Brennan At Long Last Love ()


Review Summary

Peter Bogdanovich's attempt to direct a homage to the great musicals of the 1930s is now remembered as one of the embarrassments of the 1970s. The film's thin plot, standard for the genre, centers on the romantic entanglements and misunderstandings among six stock characters: the bored playboy (Burt Reynolds), his never-ruffled valet (John Hillerman), the debutante (Cybill Shepherd), the Broadway diva (Madeline Kahn), her gambler boyfriend (Duilio Del Prete), and her maid (Eileen Brennan). All six are likely to burst into song and dance at any time, and they often do (the performances were recorded live on the set, not pre-recorded), but sixteen Cole Porter tunes, lavish sets and costumes, and an expensive production cannot hide the fact thatReynolds and Shepherd, the two leads, are way out of their depth. A notorious failure, At Long Last Love left a permanent stain on Bogdanovich's career. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Eileen Brennan Daisy Miller (1974)


Eileen Brennan Daisy Miller ()


Review Summary 

Continuing his 1970s recreations of classical Hollywood genres and styles, Peter Bogdanovich turned to the literary costume drama with an adaptation of the Henry Jamesnovella Daisy Miller. At a Swiss spa, upper-class expatriate American Frederick Winterbourne (Barry Brown) meets pretty, nouveau riche flirt Daisy Miller (Cybill Shepherd); her bratty, xenophobic little brother Randolph (James McMurtry); and her tremulous, nattering mother (Cloris Leachman). Despite warnings from his dowager aunt (Mildred Natwick) about Daisy's recklessness with men, Winterbourne finds himself drawn to her. When he encounters her again in Rome, he tries to convince her that her liberated behavior with an Italian admirer (Duilio Del Prete) may sully her reputation in aristocratic circles. But Winterbourne cannot reconcile his own feelings for Daisy with the manners that he is used to following, nor can he fathom how she may feel about him beneath her veneer of willful coquetry. After society matron Mrs. Walker (Eileen Brennan) ostracizes her, Daisy's final rash action reveals to Winterbourne how his old-fashioned mores may have sealed her fate. With a screenplay by Frederic Raphael and location shooting in Rome and Switzerland, Bogdanovich carefully recreated the rich surroundings and stultifying social strictures ofJames' story. Despite this well-executed atmosphere, Daisy Millersuffered critically, as Bogdanovich was especially taken to task for casting the amateurish Shepherd in the complex and pivotal role of Daisy. After three consecutive hits with The Last Picture Show(1971), What's Up, Doc? (1972), and Paper Moon (1973), Daisy Miller flopped, beginning Bogdanovich's mid-'70s slide into box-office and critical ignominy. ~ Lucia Bozzola, Rovi

Eileen Brennan Divorce American Style (1967)

Eileen Brennan Divorce American Style ()


Review Summary 

An unhappy couple discover breaking up really is hard to do in this satiric comedy. Richard Harmon (Dick Van Dyke) and his wife, Barbara (Debbie Reynolds), are a typical married couple in American Suburbia -- which is to say they're not very happy with each other. After 15 years together, Richard and Barbara decide they've reached the end of their collective rope, and after several rounds of marriage counseling proves fruitless, they file for divorce. Between negotiating child custody, alimony, and finding new places to live, Richard and Barbara discover divorce isn't appreciably easier than being married; meanwhile, Richard makes a new friend in Nelson Downes (Jason Robards), a fellow divorcé who would love nothing more than for Richard to marry his former wife, Nancy (Jean Simmons), and take away the burden of alimony. Also featuring Van Johnson, Lee Grant, Shelley Berman, and Eileen Brennan in her first film role, Divorce American Style earned an Oscar nomination for Norman Lear and Robert Kaufman's original screenplay. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Eileen Brennan The Star Wagon (1967)

Eileen Brennan The Star Wagon ()


Review Summary 

Dustin Hoffman was only a few months away from his star-making role in The Graduate when he appeared in this television adaptation of Maxwell Anderson's satiric dark comedy. A disgruntled inventor (Orson Bean) whose career is going nowhere finally comes up with something that could change the world -- a device he calls the "Star Wagon," which allows its users to travel back and forth in time. Before unleashing his new gizmo on the world, the inventor uses it for a few pet projects of his own, with the help of his less-than-enthusiastic assistant (Dustin Hoffman). Shot for educational television in 1967, The Star Wagon also featuresEileen Brennan, Marian Seldes, and Richard Castellano. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Eileen Brennan Hello, Dolly! (1969)

Eileen Brennan Hello, Dolly! ()


Review Summary 

Twenty-seven-year-old Barbra Streisand seemed an inappropriate choice for middle-aged, match-making widow Dolly Levi, but her energy carries her right through the role and dominates the lackluster movie around her. The plot, drawn from Thornton Wilder's The Matchmaker (itself based on a 19th-century British farce), is set in motion when Yonkers feed store clerk Cornelius Hackl (Michael Crawford) celebrates his promotion by taking his pal Barnaby Tucker (Danny Lockin) to New York City for a "corking good time." But Cornelius and Barnaby can't avoid crossing paths with their boss Horace Vandergelder (Walter Matthau), who'd give them Holy Ned if he saw them in a fancy restaurant with two fancy girls instead of tending the store. Mr. Vandergelder himself is the object of Dolly's affections, though she pretends to have only a professional interest in the widowed merchant, going through the motions of finding him a new wife when in fact she'd like to be the lucky bride herself. The film's musical set pieces include a show-stopping rendition of the title number, with Louis Armstrong more or less playing himself. The biggest number is "Before the Parade Passes By," in which thousands of costumed marchers and atmosphere extras cavort before a huge replica of a New York City thoroughfare in the 1890s (actually the main entrance of the 20th Century-Fox studio, with period facades adorning the office buildings). An artifact of an era in which Broadway musicals were a significant part of popular culture, Hello Dolly seemed bizarrely irrelevant in the social turmoil of the late 1960s, and it became one of the late-1960s big-budget failures that led Hollywood studios toward a different kind of filmmaking in the 1970s. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Eileen Brennan The King and I (1956)

Eileen Brennan The King and I ()


Review Summary

The King and I, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's 1951 Broadway musical hit, was based on Margaret Landon's book {-Anna and the King of Siam}. Since 20th-Century-Fox had made a film version of the Landon book in 1946, that studio had first dibs on the movie adaptation of The King and I. Deborah Kerr plays English widow Anna Leonowens, who comes to Siam in the 1860s to tutor the many wives and children of the country's progressive King (Yul Brynner, recreating his Broadway role-and winning an Oscar in the process). The culture clash between Anna and the King is but one aspect of their multilayered relationship. Through Anna, the King learns the refineries and responsibilities of "modern" western civilization; Anna meanwhile comes to realize how important it is for an Oriental ruler to maintain his pride and to uphold the customs of his people. After a successful evening entertaining foreign dignitaries, Anna and the King celebrate with an energetic dance, but this is cut short by a bitter quarrel over the cruel punishment of the King's new Burmese wife Tuptim (Rita Moreno), who has dared to fall in love with someone else. Despite the many rifts between them, Anna and the monarch come to respect and (to a degree) love one another. When the King dies, Anna agrees to stay on to offer help and advice to the new ruler of Siam, young Prince Chulalongkhorn (Patrick Adiarte). In general, The King and I tends to be somewhat stagey, with the notable exception of the matchless {&"Small House of Uncle Thomas"} ballet, which utilizes the Cinemascope 55 format to best advantage (the process also does a nice job of "handling" Deborah Kerr's voluminous hoopskirts). Most of the Broadway version's best songs ({&"Getting to Know You"}, {&"Whistle a Happy Tune"}, {&"A Puzzlement"}, {&"Shall We Dance"} etc.) are retained. None of the omissions are particularly regrettable, save for Anna's solo {&"Shall I Tell You What I Think of You?"} This feisty attack on the King's chauvinism was specially written to suit the talents of Gertrude Lawrence, who played Anna in the original production; the song was cut from the film because it made Deborah Kerr seem "too bitchy" (Kerr's singing, incidentally, is dubbed for the most part by the ubiquitous Marni Nixon). When all is said and done, the principal attraction of The King and I is Yul Brynner, in the role that made him a star and with which he will forever be identified. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Eileen Brennan Little Mary Sunshine (1916)

Eileen Brennan Little Mary Sunshine ()


Review Summary

A precocious child brings a man and his estranged fiancée back together in this sentimental but extremely popular comedy-drama produced by the Balboa company of Long Beach, California. Five-year-old Baby Marie Osborne starred in the title-role, the motherless victim of a drunken father who stows away in the car of handsome Bob Daley (Henry King). Like Mary's father, young Daley is addicted to the devil brew, but his love for Little Mary Sunshine not only turns him into a teetotaler but reunites him with his estranged fiancée, Sylvia Stanford (Marguerite Nichols). This cliché-ridden drama gave Baby Marie Osborne -- or as she was known around the studio, the "Baby Grand" -- international fame. Balboa would produce nine additional Baby Marie Osborne films, the little girl becoming arguably the company's most valuable asset. Director/leading man Henry King, also benefitting from his association with the child star, went on to enjoy a legendary career as a director of (mainly) rural romances, chiefly for Fox and its successor, 20th Century Fox. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi
