SUDDENLY SIMON COWELL IS PEDALING FOR HIS LIFE

Simon Cowell admits he is “terrified” of catching coronavirus. He’s been wearing masks every time he leaves the house for WEEKS, and he’s popping vitamins right and left. Why so panicky? Simon is not only 60, but he’s in the habit of smoking 80 cigarettes a day. When Gabrielle Union was fired from AGT, she threatened to sue Simon for “endangering her life” with his illegal smoking on the set. Years of smoking makes Simon a candidate for a very bad virus outcome. Note that Simon is NOT wearing his elevator shoes while riding today with his partner Lauren Silverman, her son Adam Silverman, and their son Eric Cowell.

STEPHEN DORFF CAN’T SHAKE THE LUST FOR CIGARETTES

Look who’s walking out of Barneys in Beverly Hills- it’s Stephen Dorff, and he’s not exactly a regular shopper there. Fashion isn’t his thing – in fact we rarely see him in anything but white t-shirt and jeans. We’re betting he bought a nice gift for somebody. Dorff, 44, has been a slave to cigarettes for years – he chainsmoked two packs a day and admits he “smelled like an ashtray.” Not only did he do ads for electronic cigarettes, but last we heard, he still smokes the real thing. It was reported a few years ago that he was diagnosed with emphysema – not sure what happened with that.

WHEN SIMON COWELL NEEDS A CIGARETTE, HE NEEDS IT BAD

Simon Cowell never likes to be more than a few feet from a cigarette because he’s a chain smoker and inhales three packs a day. (To make up for it he stocks up on vitamin supplements and skin creams at Whole Foods.) So it makes sense that when he went to Ralph Lauren and found a small decorative silver plated cigarette holder he liked, that he bought 100 of them. He has several huge houses and each room has a cigarette holder in every corner.
