Simon Cowell was so intrigued by his soon-to-be baby mama Lauren Silverman, he gushed to pals that she should have her own reality show, as she's “much more interesting than any of those tacky housewives," Breaking Celebrity News has learned.

This week's issue of the Enquirer details the drama straight from the lips of Editor-in-Chief Tony Frost, who spent time with the music mogul -- and the Silvermans -- in October 2011 in Miami.

Frost notes that Simon introduced the brunette as “the beautiful Lauren," and her husband Lauren's husband Andrew as “my good friend."

Simon was effusive in his praise for Lauren, claiming she has "a brilliant eye for talent and a good ear, too!”

Frost recalled Simon predicting, “That girl’s got a terrific future -- it’s just finding the right niche for her.”

The 36-year-old Lauren, who's reportedly 11 weeks pregnant, is believed to have conceived with the music mogul over the pond when he was taping Britain’s Got Talent in his native England June 8.
