After months of speculation, it appears official: Simon Cowell is dating "Baywatch" babe Carmen Electra.
But the famous bachelor insists she isn't his girlfriend -- at least not yet. The "X Factor" mogul called in to Ryan Seacrest's radio show Wednesday and seemed to confirm that he and Electra, a former Playboy model, are seeing each other.
"Girlfriend?" the former "American Idol" judge said, laughing, when Seacrest asked him whether he is dating Electra. "We're people who date. She's adorable, isn't she?" The pair were first photographed in September following a dinner at Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood. Calif. While Carmen, 40, a former member of the Pussycat Dolls, smiled for the cameras, Cowell, 53, kept his eyes -- and one protective hand -- on Carmen.
Rumors of sparks flying between the two first surfaced in February after Cowell hired Carmen to serve as a guest judge on his "Britain's Got Talent." During one audition, when Carmen, who was previously married to Dave Navarro and Dennis Rodman, professed she was "distracted" by Cowell's shirt, fellow judge David Walliams snapped, "Stop looking at him, look at the act on stage."
Apparently, Carmen wasn't the only one distracted. The former Playboy Playmate tweeted a picture of her seated next to Cowell with the words, "Eyes up here @simoncowell ;)." Cowell has never married, but he's had no shortage of women either. This year's unauthorized biography, "Sweet Revenge: The Intimate Life of Simon Cowell" by writer Tom Bowers, lifted the covers on his romantic life. Cowell, who spoke to Bowers during the writing of the book, gave his tacit approval by showing up at the book launch party in April.
"I said to Tom right from the beginning, 'I'm not going to lie to you,' and that was the deal. Not to say, it hasn't all been a bit embarrassing," Cowell told a reporter for The Telegraph at the party.
