Cowell has Been a Naughty Boy; Liverpool Need Lessons in Not Being Idiots

Simon Cowell Expecting Child with Best Friend’s Wife

According to reports, music mogul Simon Cowell is expecting his first child but, typically, there’s a catch – the mother is the wife of his best friend.

Cowell, 53, is set to become a parent with Lauren Silverman, wife of real-estate mogul Andrew Silverman.

“Lauren and Andrew have been unhappy in their marriage for some time, and their divorce has been in the works for a while,” a source told US Weekly.

“As their marriage deteriorated, she and Simon became close.”

Cowell has previously said he didn’t think he would be cut out to be a father, however in April this year he appeared to change his tune.

“If I knew that I could be – how can I put this delicately – faithful. I do like kids. I haven’t ruled it out,” he admitted.

So he’s failed at the first hurdle, really.

Liverpool FC Get Crash Course in Offensive Language

When The Choice saw a copy earlier this week, it was presumed to be a hoax. We were wrong.

Liverpool Football Club have issued all staff with a guide to unacceptable language so they can help “eradicate abuse in the game”.

The booklet tells readers “What YOU need to look out for…” listing a number of terms categorised under Race/Religion, Sexual Orientation, Gender, Disability and more.

“It’s important to understand the context of what’s being said,” the guide explains before going on to list the insults.

Along with the more grotesque slurs, which The Choice won’t repeat, are several such as “don’t be a woman”, “play like a girl” and “midget”.
