Oh Simon Cowell, how I love thee.

X Factor judge/creator/official black t-shirt wearer, Simon Cowell was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night and besides talking about what makes his U.K.-born talent competition better than its competitors and giving J-Fal awkward “hand hugs”, the brutally honest Brit was gushing about his love for The Jersey Shore.

Are we surprised?  Is there a celeb out there who hasn’t yet proclaimed their love for Snooki, Pauly D and The Situation?

However, Cowell’s love runs so deep that he made sure that X Factor made a stop in New Jersey so he could scout out some more of that elusive, untapped Jerseylicious talent.

I love Jersey Shore. I mean really I like these people. I love them… I said we have to go to New Jersey because I want to find somebody with a bit of attitude.

Something tells me that Simon’s going to have a rude awakening when he actually has to be in the same room as “these people” from New Jersey.  Can you imagine JWoww and Simon going head-to-head in a battle of bad attitudes?

Now that’s something I’d like to watch.
