EXCLUSIVE: Simon & Ellen Not Talking To Each Other
Posted on Jan 28, 2010 @ 10:12AM
While the singers have provided enough entertainment this season, the real show is behind the scenes where Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres are no longer speaking to each other, RadarOnline.com is reporting exclusively.
“Their relationship started poorly but now the situation has escalated,” a source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com

Widespread reports said that Simon arrived an hour and a half later for Idol’s first taping with Ellen, which has not aired yet. Those same reports claimed that Ellen was greatly annoyed and things were off to a very bad start with Simon.
But a source who was at the taping says the reports of Simon’s late arrival are greatly exaggerated. “He showed up exactly 14 minutes late,” said one person who was there.

The show started taping without Simon, a move that immediately polarized Ellen and Simon. “People were surprised the show started without Simon,” said one observer.
The tension between Simon and Ellen escalated instantly due to the situation and quickly it became apparent that when the cameras stopped recording they were not speaking to each other.

“There’s two camps on the show this season,” said an Idol insider. “It’s a lot more tense than previous seasons. It seems as if Ellen has decided to try to take control since Simon is on his way out and that’s created problems.”

The first mistake that was made was having ellen as a judge in the music industry with no
experience of this caliber. That"s what bugs me instead of Simon being late.

I will never watch Idol again after hearing Ellen is judging. She was the worst Acadamy Award host, and I cannot understand why Idol did this. Is this another talk show musical chairs like Rosie played? This is a big mistake.

When you have one guy with a set of ba**s & the other one that thinks she has a pair what do you expect? Next they will be having a pis**** contest. Ego battles!!

American Idol is sooooo boring nowadays. I am TOTALLY over it. When Simon leaves it's going to be even worse. Someone put this show out of its misery...please.

I can't believe Ellen is on this show now. What a BAD career move. When I think of Idol, the word "desperate" comes to mind...judges and contestants.

I read once that Ellen is NOTHING like what she is on camera; she is very rude, demanding, diva, and control freak.

Ellen is an authentic person. Let's give her a chance. Who knows, she may save the sinking ship. Simon is going to say it sank after he left, but it was sinking while he was still there.

FAKE DRAMA, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, ELLEN DOESNT ACT LIKE THAT. THERE IS NO FIGHT. IDOL IS BECOMING A KARDASHIAN EPISODE

Ellen is going to ruin this show. Big mistake adding her to the show. Why couldn't they get someone better than her. Ugh!

No way you can know that Stephen.....she hasn't even been on yet - let's give her a chance at least - I love Simon but he doesn't come across as the easiest person to get along with.
