Renowned conductor Simon Lee better get a good lawyer. The forty-three year old, who judges talent show How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, has been arrested for allegedly assaulting and entrapping a male friend. Our sources tell us this “friend” may have been a trick of sexual variety. [CBC]
Improper Conductor.

No, not Simon! I love him… he seems too sweet to do something like that.

I only know this guy from his work with Björk, but he seemed brilliant. And I know a lot of conductors—all fantastic perverts—and they all know to be discreet. The old guard is strong at most companies, and this sort of scandal would be a career killer for most in the profession.

I saw him on the CBC show where he was very bitchy and quite the evil queen. But then maybe that’s what these British TV judges are supposed to be. I sure wouldn’t want to be a hooker who was called to his hotel room. No matter what I did in bed it probably wouldn’t satisfy him. He probably wanted something that wasn’t part of service which resulted in an assault and locking the hotel room door.

He wasn’t a bitchy, evil queen on that show o_O.
Anyway…really not what I was expecting when they said he was off for ‘personal reasons’…he just seems too sweet for all that :s
