Simon Cowell had his own teary moment ....


Brutally honest American Idol judge Simon Cowell had his own teary moment during an interview on Britain's ITV interview program "Life Stories."

In an interview with host, Piers Morgan, Cowell's colleague from "Britain's Got Talent," the critically insensitive judge was close to sobbing when recalling learning of his father's death. When an excited Cowell called his parents to tell them that his label singing Westlife reached No. 1, he found out that his father had passed away.

While the news is horrible, it is good to know that he is capable of displaying emotions other than annoyance.
