Simon Cowell won’t wed until 2011 – claim

Simon Cowell won’t wed until 2011 – to help him best promote his new X-Factor show in the US, it has been claimed.

The music mogul is engaged to 36-year-old make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy.

It had been thought the pair would walk down the aisle later this year. But now sources say the marriage will be delayed until it coincides with a publicity drive for X-Factor.

A source told CBS News: “Expect no wedding this year at all – 2011 is the year of Simon in the US, and he will pull out all the stops needed to become an even bigger success.

“[Cowell] is the king of spin and knows that a great love story will help sell the US version of ['X-Factor'].”

Cowell, 50, will quit American Idol when the current series ends, and get to work on launching X-Factor. It is set to begin in September 2011.

He will serve as a judge on both the American and the UK versions, according to reports.

Another insider said: “He knows that his own show has to be a success. It has to be bigger than even ‘Idol’ and with his magic touch on shows, he is taking no chances.”

A representative for Cowell was unavailable for comment.
