LONDON (AP) -- When he was a judge on "American Idol," Simon Cowell had to deal with share of crazies -- but never like this. Authorities in London say a woman is accused of breaking into his house carrying a broken brick -- then trying to hide out in a closet. The woman -- Leanne Zaloumis -- is charged with aggravated burglary after the Saturday night incident. Authorities say Cowell was watching TV in his bedroom when he heard a loud bang coming from his bathroom -- and found the woman inside with a brick. Cowell's security staff kept the woman in check until police arrived. She also is accused of shouting at Cowell and hurling items at his bathroom window while standing on a roof outside. A spokesman for Cowell describes the TV star as being "shaken up" by the intruder incident.
