Simon’s Mini-Me!
Since welcoming son Eric, now 4, Simon Cowell has become a softie. While judging contestants on America’s Got Talent, “you think, ‘What would I feel if that was Eric up there?’” the mogul (above, in L.A. in August) tells Us. “You definitely feel differently!” He hopes his tot (with Lauren Silverman) inherits those traits from him. Adds Cowell, 59, “That would be my dream.”
