Simon Cowell fell under fire when he got socialite Lauren Silverman, who was still married at the time, pregnant with his first child. It was a shock when ex girlfriend Carmen Electra was nothing but nice about him in a new interview.
"I just thought Simon was so much fun and was so smart and he's really interesting," she confessed to Loaded magazine. "I think he's awesome and very charming. He has such a great sense of humour and I honestly think he's going to be an amazing father, I truly do."
The former "Baywatch" star recalled Cowell took her on dates both individually and in groups.
"I'm sure little Eric Cowell will get a lot of knowledge of entertainment and business. He'll absolutely have to take over the family empire. I can see it. I can picture him doing that," Electra raved.
The bombshell allegedly called it quits with the former "American Idol" judge after catching him with Silverman.
"Carmen was at Simon's house in L.A. when she literally busted him with Lauren," a source told E! News at the time. "Simon called her a friend, but there was nothing platonic about what was going on, if you know what I mean."
They also note Electra "high-tailed it out of there. There was no way she was going to stick around and be a third wheel."
Fellow "Baywatch" bombshell Pamela Anderson recently went through her own romantic drama, as she filed for divorce from gambler Rick Salomon for the second time.
"The nature and extent of separate property assets and debts are unknown to Petitioner at the time. Petitioner asks leave of court to amend this Petition when same is ascertained," court documents read.
She shared a cryptic message with twitter followers July 6, writing, "I no longer have the time for anyone or anything that cannot give emotion, time and love, honestly, freely and with sincerity... my beautiful, soulful, mentor BB [for Brigitte Bardot]."
