Simon Cowell and Carmen Electra

When she was asked to be a guest judge on the X-Factor, the American actress and singer, Carmen Electra, admitted that sparks flew when she met the British record executive, Simon Cowell. The electricity between them was undeniable at that point, and reports suggested that the two were dating. They were even caught kissing inside his car after a party — something that, as anyone can guess, became fodder for the paparazzi.

Unfortunately, just like Shia and Rihanna, the couple did not end up together. Rumors even have it that Carmen was livid when she found out that Cowell was dating his long-time friend, Lauren Silverman.
However, the singer shut down the rumors. In fact, Carmen revealed that the two had never been exclusive, and were not really dating. Was she telling the truth or was this an attempt to save face? Only they know, but we bet it’s the latter.
