"Mezhgan Hussainy has insisted that she will not give up her make-up job on American Idol. Hussainy, who is engaged to music mogul Simon Cowell, reportedly earns an annual sum of \u00C2\u00A340,000 for her work on the talent show.  The News of the World quotes her as saying: &amp;quot;The irony for me is that in [Afghanistan], once the Taliban took over, women couldn&amp;#039;t even show their face or put on make-up.  &amp;quot;Make-up is part of being a woman and it does give you self-assurance and confidence. In a way, you&amp;#039;re ready to conquer the world. It has such a huge effect on people.&amp;quot;  Meanwhile, an insider added: &amp;quot;Mezhgan adores her job and has no plans to give it up. Simon wouldn&amp;#039;t want her to anyway.  &amp;quot;He likes the fact that she has a career independent from him, and he knows first-hand just how good a make-up artist she is.&amp;quot;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
