The X Factor judge caused a scene while holidaying in Miami with his girlfriend Lauren Silverman and their baby son Eric when he was cautioned for walking his beloved Yorkshire Terriers, Squiddly and Diddly, in a pet-free zone. DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUHN!
Simon was spotted cosying up to Lauren on a sunlounger on Miami Beach during little Eric's first visit to the seaside - because newborns LOVE sand, and intense heat, 'n stuff - with his pet pooches roaming freely around them. So freely in fact that one was clocked licking 11-day-old Eric's face... Simon obviously had the dog's tongue steralised beforehand... And we thought Kelsey Grammer was irresponsible bringing his 3-month-old to the Playboy Mansion.
When Simon decided to stretch his legs along the Bal Harbour resort waterfront, a police officer arrived to give him a ticking off for ignoring a sign which clearly stated no dogs were allowed on the beach.
The 54-year-old star escaped with a written warning and looked relieved since the offence usually results in a $200 fine. Simon's obviously watching the sheckles now that he's a dad, 'n all. An onlooker told the MailOnline: "[Simon] told them he would not do it again and seemed happy that he got away with a telling off."
He was later seen grinning and posing for pictures with a crowd of admiring women.
This comes after Simon hired a dog expert named Edward Alava to ensure the puppies - who he adopted in October - were able to adjust to the newborn's arrival.
A source said: "Edward advised Simon on how to familiarise the dogs to Eric, telling Simon to put one of Eric's blankets in the pup's basket so they could get used to the newborn's smell."
As long as they don't mistake him for a pork chop, everyone should get along just fine.
