Kelly Clarkson is filling in for Simon Cowell, who broke his back, on America’s Got Talent. Since the singer is sitting in his seat, she wants the contestants to feel like the reality show mogul is there.
How is the talk show host going to do that? She is going to do a British accent. How did it go? There is a reason why she is the American Idol. It is because she can only do an American accent. Therefore, she is keeping it Country, as in her own country.
Seriously, isn’t Clarkson cute when she tried to do the British accent?
On Saturday afternoon, Simon Cowell fell off of his new electric bike and broke his back in several places. He was rushed to the hospital, where he underwent a 5-hour surgery to repair his broken spine. Less than 48 hours after all of that happened, Terri Seymour revealed on Extra yesterday that he has already taken his first steps. Not that many, but it is a start. After a back injury as bad as his, that is like doing a marathon.
Even though Cowell went through all of this, he is working from his hospital bed. Kelly Clarkson might be sitting in his seat on America’s Got Talent tonight and tomorrow night, but he will be there in spirit and on his iPad.
It is just one of the few things his girlfriend Lauren Silverman has brought him. Seymour said, “He’s calling her all the time, asking her for this and that…Poor Lauren has been amazing. She’s running backwards and forwards from the hospital all the time.”
When it comes to time, he has a long road to recovery ahead of him that will involve a lot of physical therapy. Does that mean he won’t be back on AGT this season? Seymour said when it comes to her ex-lover, “never rule anything out.”
Simon Cowell fell off of his electric bike this Saturday afternoon and broke his back. He then spent the night in surgery to repair the broken bones.
Needless to say, he is not going to be in the mood to do the live America’s Got Talent shows on Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, they asked Kelly Clarkson to sit his chair, and she said yes.
This gives NBC and her more exposure for her daytime talk show that just earned her an Emmy. Which makes you wonder why they didn’t ask Ellen DeGeneres to do it because she needs some positive exposure. Plus, Ellen has judging experience. Remember, she was a judge on American Idol for a failed season with Cowell. I know we try to forget about that heinous season. That was a really bad year.
On Saturday, Simon Cowell fell off of his brand new electric bike, and he broke his back. Then he spent yesterday recuperating from a 5-hour surgery to repair the broken bones and had a rod put in his back.
With all of that, you would think he lost his sense of humor, far from it. This morning the King of Mean wrote, “Some good advice…If you buy an electric trail bike, read the manual before you ride it for the first time. I have broken part of my back. Thank you to everyone for your kind messages.” Then he followed it up with, “And a massive thank you to all the nurses and doctors. Some of the nicest people I have ever met. Stay safe everyone. Simon.”
What did they do to him while he was in surgery? He came out nice.
Seriously, I hope he keeps up that sense of humor because he is going to need it to get through the next few months. They say laughter is the best medicine for a reason.
Simon Cowell broke his back yesterday afternoon while testing out an electric bike at his Malibu residence. He was rushed to the hospital and spent five hours in surgery to repair his back. Therefore, it makes sense that Deadline is reporting that he will miss filming this Tuesday and Wednesday’s live shows of America’s Got Talent. They are the first live shows of the season.
No word who will replace him, but I don’t think should. Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel, and Sofia Vergara can do it without him for the time being.
Personally, I don’t think Simon will be back this season. He needs to recuperate and come back stronger than ever next year.
