“AMERICAN Idol” judge Simon Cowell is no idol to his girlfriend of four years, Terri Seymour. The acid-tongued star has been caught cheating on Seymour, 32, with ravishing bisexual model Jasmine Lennard.
A photographer for Britain’s Daily Mirror spotted Lennard entering Cowell’s London townhouse late Tuesday and must have peeked through a window. The paper reports that within minutes she was peeling off her fur coat to reveal racy black lingerie.
The pair relaxed on a sofa for 90 minutes before heading up to a bedroom to usher in her 21st birthday. She was photographed leaving an hour later, with Cowell standing in the doorway sporting a huge grin.
The affair has been going on six months, says The Mirror, which quoted a pal of Lennard: “[Simon and Jasmine] tend to spend most of their time together in Simon’s house [in London] when Terri is at their other home in Los Angeles.”
Lennard – whose mother, Marilyn, was one of Roger Moore’s James Bond girls in “The Spy Who Loved Me,” and whose dad, Brian, is founder of Sacha Shoes – has a bit of a past: She once checked into the Priory rehab clinic alongside Kate Moss to kick a cocaine habit. She also made a splash on the show “Make Me a Supermodel” by famously falling out with Rod Stewart’s ex, Rachel Hunter, labeling her “a fat bitch past her sell-by date.”
In an interview that she gave last year, Lennard said that, while she liked men best, “being with a woman is a totally different sexual experience. They’re soft, with curves, boobs and sensual lips. Men are hairy with bits dangling out all over the place.”
Cowell has admitted to being a ladies’ man, but insists he only looks and doesn’t touch when he’s seriously involved with a woman.
“I am a bit of a flirt, but I’m pretty good. My eyes do wander, and daily. It’s what you do with those eyes that counts,” he said in a 2004 interview.
That doesn’t wash with one of his former gal pals, the pop star Sinitta, who has fumed that Cowell is unable to be faithful. He first met Lennard in a restaurant last January and sent her a flirty note saying he wanted to get to know her.
A Fox flack had no comment last night. But Cowell’s spokesman insisted to the British press, “Simon has known Jasmine for some time. They had a meeting to discuss TV projects.”
