Simon Cowell is turning over a new leaf!
According to reports, the 51-year-old music mogul and American X Factorjudge has become more gentle after receiving advice from his fellow X Factor mentors Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul.
“Backstage Nicole and Paula have been giving Simon pep talks focusing on positive energy. A couple of bemused colleagues have since overheard him talking about being more ‘zen’ and having ‘good energy’,” a source said.
“Those who have had a glimpse of Tuesday’s first preview advert for the show are shocked by the new and unusually gentle side to Simon’s judging. It’s all a bit strange.”
