Photos! Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul's Weird Relationship

We first met the adorably mismatched pair of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul during the inaugural season of American Idol  way back in 2002. Love, hatred, witty banter, pure agitation … It’s difficult to explain their relationship. All we know is that Simon and Paula are back this fall to judge The X Factor, and we can’t wait to see what kooky things they’re going to do next!
