14 DAY TRIAL // It will certainly be interesting to watch and see the reaction people have upon hearing the news that music mogul Simon Cowell has already made a passport for his 5-day-old son, Eric.
The ink on his birth certificate isn't even dry yet, and Simon together with Lauren Silverman, the baby's mother, were already seen by TMZ yesterday leaving court after filing documents in which they request their son be granted a passport.
It really looks like Simon wants him to start young when it comes to jet-setting. This move comes to confirm that the baby will be spending a lot of time jetting back and forth from the US, where he was born, to the UK, where his father comes from.
As some of you parents out there may know, doctors recommend that a baby should be at least 4-6 weeks old before it's safe enough to be brought on a plane, but Simon and Lauren must have not gotten the memo.
First-time parent Simon Cowell must be really enthused about his new boy and is eager to take him back home across the pond, but there are some things that he should be aware of. Let's hope someone in his entourage or at least someone at the airport will lay it to him straight and that Eric spends a little more time on the ground before being cleared for takeoff – for his sake.
Simon broke the news of his son's birth and a lot of hearts in the process when he posted pictures of himself and his newborn son on Twitter. Many gushed as the black and white photos showed an usually tender Cowell cradling his son to his chest.
Cowell has made a name for himself as a caustic TV personality who never has second thoughts about speaking his mind, even if, most of the time, he doesn't have nice things to say about people. He recently canceled the American version of his hit TV series X Factor, and now has returned to hosting the British version.
Simon will be spending just a few more days in the States together with his new son as he is due to return back to Britain to oversee the auditions for the talent reality show Britain's Got Talent.
