Simon gets ‘Punk’d’

Simon is known for giving “American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest a pretty tough time on the series. Ryan got a little redemption, however, when he teamed up with Randy Jackson to trick Simon on “Punk’d.” The pranksters led Simon to believe that his $400,000 Rolls Royce had been stolen.  (Frederick M.
