“American Idol’s” Simon Cowell announced his engagement Monday night on “The Tonight Show.” Despite dispelling engagement rumors in recent weeks, Cowell spoke with Jay Leno regarding his upcoming nuptials and introduced his make up artist girlfriend, Mezhgan Hussainy.
Neither Cowell nor Hussainy confirmed a wedding date, with Cowell saying sometime “within the next ten years” when questioned by Leno. Cowell went on to say “I always said if I was going to get engaged, I’d get engaged to a makeup artist” jokingly. Then Leno got into the joke and asked if Hussainy gives “touch ups in bed” and Cowell retorted “At least three touch-ups a night.” That’s when Hussainy quickly exited the stage after an impromptu invitation by Leno.
The couple have no plans for the future but the egocentric Cowell reponded to Leno’s question with “I’m kind of torn because I’m a bit too old to have kids but then I think it would be awesome to have a lot of mes running around.”

David Miliband issues plea as diplomats fear Afghanistan peace conference headed for failure
Britain will tomorrow urge the Afghan government to put more effort into the pursuit of peace talks amid fears that the war could be prolonged – and more British lives lost – as a result of incompetence and lack of political will in Kabul.
A speech to be delivered in the US by the foreign secretary, David Miliband, will reflect growing anxiety in London that President Hamid Karzai’s professed desire for a political solution has not been backed up by any serious planning or concrete proposals.
Unless more pressure is put on the Afghan government, some British officials predict that Karzai’s proposed loya jirga, or grand peace council, due at the end of next month, will be little more than a PR stunt. “My argument today is that now is the time for the Afghans to pursue a political settlement with as much vigour and energy as we are pursuing the military and civilian effort,” Miliband will say at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to a text of the address seen by the Guardian.
British officials believe that significant Taliban leaders are ready to start talking about a political settlement in which they would sever ties with al-Qaida and put down weapons in return for a role in politics. But there is also concern that opportunities to open a preliminary dialogue are being lost, and that the conflict, which has already cost more than 270 British lives, is being intensified by Kabul’s inefficiency and corruption.
“The Afghans must own, lead and drive such political engagement,” Miliband will say in his speech. “It will be a slow, gradual process. But the insurgents will want to see international support.
“International engagement, for example under the auspices of the UN, may ultimately be required.”
Karzai presented a paper on political reconciliation at a conference held by Gordon Brown in London in January. But officials who saw it, and subsequent Afghan proposals on peace talks, have variously described them as “empty” and “a C-team effort”.
Gerard Russell, at the Carr Centre for Human Rights at Harvard University, said: “We had a look at the Afghan government’s thinking on reconciliation, but we haven’t seen a concrete proposal or a workable methodology.”
Russell, a former political adviser to the UN mission in Afghanistan, added: “There is a talk about having a loya jirga. But what is a loya jirga going to do? On its own, its not going to achieve anything.”
The growing alarm at the lack of political initiative in Kabul comes at a time when back-channel contacts with the Taliban have also run into trouble, paradoxically as a result of a Taliban arrest hailed as a triumph last month.
Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the head of Taliban’s military operations seized in Karachi by Pakistani intelligence agents, had taken part in tentative and secret contacts with Saudi intermediaries last year.
One participant in those talks told the Guardian that Baradar’s arrest had been “a huge blow” to the peace effort.
Britain’s special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles, has been sent to Kabul as caretaker ambassador with the primary mission of trying to inject more substance into the loya jirga planned for April 29. Tomorrow, Miliband will also call for a direct international role in managing the peace process.
Miliband’s speech also carries a message for Washington.
While Britain’s Foreign Office believes that work on peace talks should begin straight away and should be pushed behind the scenes by the Obama administration, most US officials, and some British generals, question whether any such negotiations would produce results before Taliban morale has been depleted by the US-led military surge.
“There is an important US audience for this,” a British official said. “They are the people who have the most leverage on Kabul in terms of blood and treasure, they will have to exert pressure before the loya jirga. Nobody wants a PR stunt in Kabul that doesn’t lead anywhere.”
In his MIT speech, the foreign secretary will also go further than any senior British official in calling into question the international peace settlement in Bonn that followed the fall of the Taliban and paved the way for the creation of the Karzai government. “The Bonn agreement of 2001, and the process which followed it, fell short of a sustainable political settlement,” Miliband will say.
The deal had excluded a significant part of Afghanistan’s Pashtun population and failed to win the support of regional powers, he will argue.
Miliband will conclude: “The lesson I draw from history is that Afghanistan will never achieve a sustainable peace unless many more Afghans are inside the political system, and the neighbours are onside with the political settlement.”

Considering all of the names that were in attendance at last night’s E! Oscar Viewing and After Party, you’d have thought it was the actual Oscar Party! The shindig was held at Drai’s Hollywood Nightclub in the new W Hotel in Hollywood, CA, and Benji Madden, Amber Rose, Taboo, Audrina Patridge, Ryan Seacrest and Olivia Munn were all there and looking fabulous. I love the sign Olivia’s holding — apparently, a fan made it for her. How cute!

Kanye West wasn’t at the Oscars but his legacy was. When the award for Best Documentary Short Subject was handed to director Roger Ross Williams for “Music by Prudence”, producer Elinor Burkett did a “Kanye” and interrupted him mid-speech. Williams excitedly ran on stage to accept the trophy. And when he was just warming up with his speech, Burkett unceremoniously jumped on stage and stole his thunder. “Two years ago when I got on a plane to Zimbabwe, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would end up here. This is so exciting ” he said before Burkett snatched the mic. Williams have taken it in stride and smiled throughout Burkett’s speech, although there were moments when they appeared to be competing with each other to speak. |
