Joan captioned the post: “Three Brits in Hollywood @cecconisrestaurants for Jonathan Shalit’s birthday with @noholdenback and @simoncowell #happyeaster.”
Also in attendance was former Tottenham Hotspur Vice-Chairman Paul Kemsley and his wife, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley.
The fancy restaurant had a selection of Italian food on the menu including tuna tartare to start followed by beef porterhouse with truffle potatoes and chocolate coppa to finish.
During Jonathan’s long-running career, his clients have included Joan, Simon and the winners of Britain’s Got Talent.
“Sign it!” Amanda ordered Simon. “Twenty years, I’ve asked for!”
He then confirmed: “I’m not kidding, she turned up with contracts!”
The judging panel has not changed since 2012 and Simon puts their success down to how well they “get on”.
He continued: “We’ve all got different opinions, everyone in their way, has got their own kind of expertise.
“David is sometimes a comedian. Alesha knows an awful lot about singing and dance, I know quite a bit about music, and Amanda…juggles.
“You know you’ve got a good group around you when you can argue without feeling bad about arguing.
“So when we disagree, which we do a lot, it’s not uncomfortable. That’s when you know it’s a fun place to work.”
Britain’s Got Talent returns Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
