Randy Jackson Gets Creepy Birthday Gift from Simon Cowell
Originally posted 06/23/2008 06:55PM
Randy Jackson celebrated his 52nd birthday party in Las Vegas over the weekend – and what did fellow American Idol judge Simon Cowell get him?
"A barbaric-looking sword," says Jackson. "I don't know what part of me he wants to cut off, but that's a whole 'nother thing."
The acerbic Cowell wasn't on hand at the bash Saturday at TAO Las Vegas to explain (though such stars as Rosario Dawson and Karina Smirnoff were there), and Jackson held hope that third judge Paula Abdul could do a little better.
"Paula has not given me anything yet but I think I know what she's getting me," says Jackson. "I was talking to her last week so she knows what I want. It will be something I can use instead of looking at and saying, 'What the hell is this?'"

After more than a year of dating, Paula Abdul and her restaurateur boyfriend JT Torregiani have split due to their hectic work schedules, his rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.
"It became too hard to maintain the relationship," says Torregiani's rep, who adds: "They remain best of friends."
The couple began dating in 2006 and were spotted last June celebrating her 45th birthday together at Torregiani's West Hollywood eatery, Ketchup, where he spent the entire night by her side.
