Simon Cowell out for dinner with scar quality wound on his head
SIMON COWELL set tongues wagging when he turned up at a Beverly Hills restaurant with an angry-looking scar on his forehead.
The deep red scratch, just above his left eyebrow, was plain for fellow diners to see as he enjoyed a romantic meal with his four-months pregnant girlfriend Lauren Silverman, 36, at the upmarket Ago restaurant.
Clutching two packets of cigarettes, a smiling Cowell was joined on the night out by Strictly Come Dancing judge Bruno Tonioli and Lauren’s friend, American designer Rachel Roy.
But his injury did not appear to be bothering The X Factor supremo. One onlooker said: “The whole party were laughing and joking with one another throughout. Lauren was clearly very happy and relaxed in his company.”
Cowell, 53, is filming a new series of The X Factor in the US. Following the announcement that he is to become a father, he defended Ms Silverman against accusations that she is a gold-digger.
He said in a recent interview: “There was a lot of stuff said about her, that she trapped me and she’s a gold-digger. It’s nonsense. She’s a great girl.”
