Paula Abdul‘s manager’s assertion that the American Idol judge might not return to the reality TV show next season isn’t causing Simon Cowell to lose much sleep. In fact, he couldn’t look more relaxed on vacation with his former flame, Sinitta. Are these two dating? We can’t be sure.

On his yacht in St. Tropez, France, Simon donned his favorite, moob-baring life vest while scooting around on a jet ski. According to Cowell, Paula will return. He tells Extra, “She’ll be fine. She’ll be on the show. I don’t get a lot of say. I’ve just made it clear that I want Paula on the show.”

Well, Simon doesn’t seem to be concerned over the whole situation, so I’m not going to be either.
