More pictures of terri and Simon after the jump…

We have Kara stripping down to her bikini, the choking of Terri, and what people call an upset with the underdog winning the competition. It was a wild night for American Idol! Terri’s assault came from a jealous woman and the LA Times has the scoop:

Janis Thibodeaux, 33, faces a felony battery charge in connection with the incident, which was reported to police around 7 p.m. Tuesday.

LAPD spokeswoman Norma Eisenman said Thibodeaux approached the victim, who was not identified and asked her if she was the ex-girlfriend of Cowell.

“When the victim stated that she was, the woman attacked her and attempted to choke her,” Eisenman said.

Thibodeaux tried to flee from officers but was captured after a brief foot pursuit, Eisenman said.

Where was security in the first place? How did the woman get in and so close to Terri? Scary. Luckily, Terri is OK. Get well soon!

Terri says Simon Cowell is “a full-time job. She dated Simon for six years before they split last November – is still helping the music mogul manage his busy life.

Terri said: “Looking after Simon’s a full-time job when you go out with him – and I’m still doing it now! I’m still overseeing and finalising his new house, I’ve project-managed it all, right down to the furniture.”

Terri also added that she’s surprised that they lasted that long because they wanted different things all along. He never wanted kids or marriage. As for Terri, she wants to be a mom some day.

Cowell is never short of women, that’s for sure. Oh didn’t we mention that a lot of women are money magnets? Women, why did I say that? Men and women alike, a lot of people are money magnets. And what’s wrong with that?

That’s a hell of a paycheck for wanting marriage and babies! How come that never happens to me when I drop the “M” and “B” words when dating someone?

According to Life and Style magazine (wow, they’re racking up the quotes today) Simon has a wonderful mix of insecure arrogance. What’s to hate? You go do your little Idol and X-Factor shows, give Terri the car keys and credit cards, find out when she’s ovulating, knock her up and viola!

According to the magazine, Seymour wanted to marry and start a family, whereas Cowell recently said, “I don’t want to marry anyone, because whoever marries me will end up hating me.”

What’s to hate? You go do your little Idol and X-Factor programs, give Terri the car keys and credit cards, find out when she’s ovulating, knock her up and viola! Perfect marriage. You just need to be present for Christmas and of course, buy all the presents for Christmas.

Terri, 34 told her friends that they’ve spilt up. It’s very sad. They have decided to go their own way. There’s no third party involved. Simon is believed to have bought Terri a house in L.A. as their parting gift.

The couple’s relationship has recently been rocked by his reluctance to get married and have kids.

Terri has in the past pointedly said: “I have known his thoughts on marriage and babies from the beginning. He doesn’t want kids, full stop.

“But I would love to have a baby in the future, definitely.”

As for Simon who has an estimated net worth of over $210 million US told the Mirror in March:
“I don’t believe in marriage, certainly not in this business.

“The truth is that you get married and in a year or two they clean you out. It’s just not going to work.

“It doesn’t work. It changes you. That whole culture just puts you in a very weakened position.”

Is the American Idol judge faithful in a relationship? I’ll let you be the judge.
Two years ago Cowell hit the headlines when model Jasmine Lennard, 24, was seen leaving his £7.5million (roughly 12 million US dollar) home in London.

SImon was also spotted holding hands and looking cozy with fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue, 36, after a night out.

What does Simon say? Simon says “If you work with cute girls, you get that.”

I think Terri has made the right choice of leaving him. At some point in life most people want to settle down. All right, I better stop before I get all philosophical again? 

Who’s next for Simon? He’s loaded, there will be plenty of women. Could it be Dannii Minogue next? She’s the sister of Kylie Minogue and an X-Factor judge with Simon. I hope whoever gets on with him has the same expectations.. No commitment!

Is Simon ever going to pop the question? What do you think? Terri is the one?
