Simon Cowell makes a reference to Ryan Seacrest’s gayness on live TV!
On American Idol Tuesday night Simon Cowell told Ryan Seacrest to “lose the beard” in a veiled reference to his sham publicity relationship to Teri Hatcher. He got away with it because Seacrest had new facial hair, but he clearly was referring to Hatcher:
