I don’t understand Simon Cowell.  What’s the big deal? If he’s engaged to Mezhgan Hussainy, why not admit it? We. can. see. the. big. honking. diamond.  Hellooo??

When Simon appeared on Jay Leno last night Leno asked him point blank:

“Are rumors you’re engaged true?”

And Simon very carefully answered:

“Are they true? Well, I do have somebody in my life now, Jay, yes. And I kinda made a decision this year to make somebody happy.”

Ugggh.. Just admit it already.  This is like Beyonce and Jay-Z not confirming they were married. How clueless do you think the general public is?

Jay, of course couldn’t pass up on referencing the ginormous rock Mezghan is sporting saying he thought she broke her arm.  Simon:

“It’s quite a big one, yes.”

Jay then asked him:

” “Where did you, or may have, gotten engaged?”

Simon clearly uncomfortable (and blushing) responded:

“I find this very uncomfortable. I was asleep, I think. No, look, I bought her the ring in London.”

Simon even talked about whether children are in his future:

“I’m kind of torn because I’m a bit too old to have kids, but then again I think it would be important to have a lot of me’s around in the future.“

Apparently Mezghan joined him on stage and it was described that they were very comfortable with one another and all giggly and happy.  I’m really happy for Simon and while I understand that he doesn’t want to be hounded about this, the fact of the matter is her rock is huge. How could we possibly not notice?  So of course people are going to be curious and ask.
