Simon Cowell Shirtless Pictures

Simon Cowell continued his three-week yachting vacation with a stop in St. Barts yesterday. Last week, he visited Barbados, where he went jet skiing with his former fiancée, Mezhgan Hussainy. She's been along for the trip despite their breakup last year and the news that he's in another relationship. Simon confirmed that he's dating Carmen Electra earlier this month, though she hasn't been spotted on the getaway.

It looks like Simon is relaxing before jumping into a busy 2013 that already includes a possible X Factor shake-up with reports that Britney Spears will be fired from her judging spot. She hasn't commented on the rumors and instead remains focused on other projects, including "working hard" on new music.

Simon Cowell spent yesterday relaxing shirtless in the South of France and catching some rays aboard a yacht. The X Factor judge apparently got a bit more than a Saint-Tropez sea view when his good friend, Britain's Got Talent judge David Walliams, mooned him from another boat. Yesterday, David tweeted, "I just mooned Simon Cowell. From a boat. That is true." Simon is enjoying some vacation time before The X Factor's return on Sept. 12. The Fox hit will see some major changes this season with the addition of new judges Britney Spears and Demi Lovato. During a recent panel discussion for The X Factor in LA, Simon, Britney, and Demi entertained the crowd as they bantered back and forth. The judges will face some competition of their own with NBC's The Voice returning in September and Mariah Carey joining the American Idol judges' table in January.

Shirtless Simon Cowell showed off his tan and his muscles on the deck of a yacht near St. Barts yesterday. Simon's been vacationing in the Caribbean since the holidays, though his stay has extended longer than some of the island's other recent celebrity visitors. Rachel Zoe and her family returned to LA after their getaway last week, while Ryan Seacrest and Julianne Hough have also wrapped up their beach time. Simon will soon follow suit and get back to work on Britain's Got Talent following the end of a successful season on the American version of X Factor.

Simon Cowell put his six-pack on display yesterday while hanging out on a yacht, The Slipstream, docked off the coast of St. Barts. Celebs love the Caribbean island at this time of year, with Rachel Zoe, Ryan Seacrest, and Marc Jacobs spending their Winter holiday on its white sandy beaches. Simon's enjoying a short break from work after wrapping up the first season of his American X Factor. The music mogul has a few more weeks of downtime left on his schedule before returning to the UK to resume filming Britain's Got Talent.

Simon Cowell looked like he didn't have a care in the world amid rumored women drama as he caught some rays on the deck of a yacht off the coast of St. Barts yesterday. This January is a lot different than the past nine years, during which he was deep in the thick of promoting and preparing for the upcoming seasons of American Idol. As Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler, and Randy Jackson are less than two weeks away from debuting their revamped version of the hit show, Simon has been enjoying an extended shirtless vacation. We're a little worried about the future of AI, though Simon is currently focused on The X Factor, which just landed a huge Pepsi sponsorship for the reality competition's stateside launch in the Fall.
