Ellen DeGeneres and Simon Cowell: Fighting Already
Oh Ellen, sweetheart, did you think that you wouldn't have to deal with Simon Cowell's ego? B*tch, please.
Ellen DeGeneres arrived to her first American Idol taping nervous, excited, and on time only to discover that Simon and his bad haircut were nowhere to be found. This is Simon's last season on the show, so he probably doesn't care about punctuality.
Simon Cowell showed up an hour and a half late for the taping, and a very angry Ellen called Simon a "prima donna!" This is sad! Does Ellen think that Simon hasn't been called much worse over the course of his career? B*tch, please.
To accommodate both her talk show hosting duties and her American Idol judging duties, she had moved up her schedule so that now she shot the talk show earlier in the day and then jumped in the car to go to Idol.
"Right from the start, the chemistry isn't great."
This is where the story begins to sound fictitious, or maybe Ellen is that anal. But Ellen is said to have contacted her friend who brought her to Idol, Mike Darnell, and asked him to "hurry up and pick" Simon's replacement. Guess who I don't feel sorry for? Ellen! Guess who created the show? Simon! I'm sure this isn't the first time Simon's been late and it won't be the last. Drumroll, aloud, and all together now ... B*tch, please!

I agree with LA in Him ... wasting other people's time is the textbook definition of passive aggression. Ellen is doing a live daily show, an incredibly busy schedule and terribly hard work. Her time is valuable, what appointments and commitments did she (and others) miss or have to cancel because their day was hijacked by Simon?
Being 15 minutes late is one thing, an hour and a half is something else entirely. Prima Donna is exactly the correct description - the belief that he is more important than everyone else. Simon can be as obnoxious a personality as he wants, but basic professionalism and a modicum of respectful behaviour toward your colleagues is hardly an unreasonable expectation. The man gets paid $45 Million dollars a year to show up.
The irony? Let's think about what Simon would say to a contestant who showed up an hour and half late. Hmmm.
p.s. American Idol was created by Simon Fuller. Simon Cowell did "X Factor" in England, which he plans to bring to US

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. I don't give a rat's what Simon did, punctuality is just a basic common courtesy. We err as a people when we start making different sets of rules for different people based on celebrity status.
Ellen has class. I'm glad to see her on the show.
