Simon Cowell Never Wants Kids  2/3/06

American Idol and The X Factor judge Simon Cowell will never have children, insisting his TV shows mean more to him than kids.

The 46-year-old has broken the news to partner Terry Seymour.

He says, "There are some things that you have to sacrifice. You can't have everything.

"If you're working long hours, sometimes until three or four in the morning, it's difficult to have a child. You can't come home and deal with a screaming baby.

"My shows, my work, are my babies. I put the same amount of care and attention into them as you would a child."
