The Amanda Bynes rumors were first started circulating when she popped the question to her boyfriend, Simon Cowell, at a Christmas party in 2010. The relationship didn’t last long, as Bynes went onto date a host of other famous faces. She even went on a date with Ryan Reynolds after he showed up at her door dressed as her favorite superhero.

Like the Amanda Bynes saga, the Anna Fries rumors also began when the ‘Shark Tank’ starlet asked Simon Cowell to be her date for the premiere of her new movie in 2012. The two reportedly went on a romantic dinner date just two days before the premiere, sparking rumors that they were an item. However, it was all just a publicity stunt. Cowell later explained that while they might have enjoyed each other’s company, there was no romantic spark between them.

We were just really compatible, I guess.”
