Cowell loves watching cartoons, says ex Terri

Washington (ANI): Terri Seymour, ex-girlfriend of Simon Cowell, has revealed that the music mogul loves watching kids' cartoons. The 'American Idol' star has a reputation of being nasty because he regularly berates wannabe singers on TV talent contests including Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor.

However, Seymour, who broke up with Cowell last year (08), insists the 50-year old-is really a softie at heart, plopping down in front of the TV to catch up on The Flintstones and The Jetsons.

"I watch The X Factor, of course. It was terrible when Simon Cowell and I were together because we had opposite TV tastes," Contactmusic quoted Seymour as saying. "He'd complain about what I was watching and then switch on Tweety. He just loves cartoons," she added.
