Cowell shuns work to sort personal problems

Music mogul Simon Cowell has reportedly cancelled his work plans to sort out his personal life.

He judging the Britain's singing reality show "The X Factor".

Initially, Cowell had planned a vacation in the Mediterranean with fellow judges Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh and discuss work on board, but now he will go minus them, reports dailystar.co.uk.

He wants some time to think about the news of his baby with married socialite Lauren Silverman, which has got him bad publicity.

"The plan was for judges to join him on board, where he would discuss the finalists with them and reveal what categories they have," a source said.

"That was before all this baby drama kicked off. Simon now needs time to think about things other than work so it seemed inappropriate to carry on," the source added.

Cowell will be sailing off for a month-long holiday with friends Sinitta, Jackie St Clair, and Mezhgan Hussainy.
