Exclusive: Simon Cowell: "No, I'm Not Engaged"
Despite widespread rumors online, Simon Cowell is not walking down the aisle with American Idol makeup artist Mezhgan Hussainy, UsMagazine.com has learned exclusively.
Cowell's longtime publicist and close friend Max Clifford tells UsMagazine.com: "I spoke to Simon in London yesterday afternoon, just before he took his flight back to LA," Clifford explains. "I asked him: 'Look, are you engaged? Is it true?,' and he said, 'No! No. I'm not engaged.'"

Cowell brought Hussainy, 36, as his date to his 50th birthday party last October -- just six weeks after splitting from girlfriend of six years Terri Seymour, according to British reports.
Hussainy provoked speculation when she wore a new diamond ring while dining with Cowell Sunday night at Mr. Chow's in London.

And during a British TV appearance on Tuesday, Cowell gushed of Hussainy: "She's the one...She's very special." The sharp-tongued judge even noted his desire to become a father: "I think I need to have little Simons around."

THANK GOODNESS HIS NOT ENGAGED THE MAN HAS GOT SOME SENSE AFTER ALL, I THOUGHT HE WAS ENGAGED TO THAT SILLY BIMBO.
Being 50 is not a good reason to marry a GOLD DIGGER wait for the right one to come along they usually do when you are ready to settle its a energy you give off, if he gets rid of her his true one will come through I have seen this happen with my friends and family many times he will be happy but not with her.
Check out the photo of her with Clay Aiken's hands on her breasts. Sick!
Thats good she looks like a gold digger to me.
A mini Simon would be sooo great for him!! A new rival!!
Good because I would feel sorry for anyone engaged to Simon--He is so cruel and doesn't care at all about hurting anyone's feelings! I think he's an A________hole.
oh thank goodness lol
Married or not, he's in a good relationship it seems.
Even though they're not engaged... yet, I'm glad they're happy together!
I love him, he's so attractive.
she's gorgeous! and it's time for him to get married, he's 50 for crying out loud! :-)
Aw, that's too bad. I bet marriage would do him good.
