Simon Cowell has slippery fingers. While “chatting animatedly” with friends at Sushi Roku Restaurant in Santa Monica, a chop stick went flying out of the American Idol judge’s hand onto a nearby table. According to Mike Walker of the National Enquirer:

A stunned quartet of diners quickly smiley-faced when they recognized the "American Idol" judge, who leaped up chop-chop and said: "Sorry about your sushi!" Waving away Simon's apologies, the fans settled for a promise of "Idol" tickets - and kept his Flying Chopstick as a souvenir. (Source)

Have to admit that Simon got off easy on this one. One time a guy did this to me and instead of smiling politely, I totally yelled at him ... though I guess he wasn't technically throwing a chop stick at me so much as he was trying to steal my Jell-O. And to be completely honest, I might have stuck a shank into his neck instead of just yell at him. And there may have been a few pointed remarks about his sister, mother, and grandmother ... OK, OK, and maybe a kick to the groin or three. Hey, no one ever claimed prison justice was clean.
