Simon Avoids Big Court Appearance
The Huffington Post UK/PA
Simon Cowell's alleged baby mama Lauren Silverman has agreed a divorce settlement with her former husband, meaning the 'X Factor' boss has avoided the prospect of a court appearance.
However, a statement released by Ms Silverman's lawyers said: "The matter has been resolved and the parties have moved on."
Lauren - who has a seven-year-old son Adam with her soon to be ex-husband - is reported to be in line for a multimillion-pound payout from him.

Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Carmen Electra ended her relationship with Simon after 'catching him in the act' with Lauren, if you catch our drft.
A source told E! news: “Carmen was at Simon’s house when she literally busted him with Lauren.

“Simon called her a friend, but there was nothing platonic about what was going on between them, if you know what I mean."
"I've haven't read the newspapers," the 53-year-old joked, as he was questioned about the reports.
Asked if his schedule would be affected by being a father, he replied: "I really haven't read the newspapers. Did I miss anything?"
He added: "Unfortunately, I have to keep this, for the moment, private. It's just one of those things. Thank you very much anyway."
