Simon Cowell Will Be On Bedrest For Six More Months Following His Bike Accident
Back in early August, Simon Cowell broke his back in an electric bike accident. He fell while testing his new $20,000 bike in the courtyard of his Malibu compound (oo, la la!) in front of his 6-year-old son Eric and 14-year-old stepson Adam. Simon had to get spinal surgery, which sounds scary and serious. But mere days later his America’s Got Talent co-star, Howie Mandel, said the injured 61-year-old was doing “spectacularly well, considering”, and was expected to return to his AGT gig before season’s end (didn’t happen). Then, this weekend, a source close to Simon denied reports he was in rough shape, and he was, in fact, walking 10,000 steps a day (wow, 9,900 more steps than my record!). That source joked that Simon’s girlfriend Lauren Silverman had to “run to keep up with him.” Uh huuuh.
Welp, I guess either that was a load of baloney, or walking 10k steps a day on a broken back maybe isn’t a great idea, because now sources are saying Simon must remain bed-ridden for six months. He’s on a cocktail of strong painkillers, has round-the-clock nurse care, and must wear a brace.

I’m going to preface all this by saying that I love skiing, grew up skiing, still ski and so therefore know full well that one small mistake can result in a serious injury. Having said that, when God gives you a story that writes its own cheap coke jokes, you take it.
