April 8, 2008While Simon Cowell isn’t known for being generous with his praise, he puts his money where his mouth is when it comes to charity. The American Idol judge is donating a day’s pay to Idol Gives Back .

Celebrities definitely have some advantages on us common folk. For instance, due to his disdain for winter weather, Simon Cowell just packs his bags and heads for the Caribbean.The American Idol icon hit the Barbados beach along with his longtime girlfriend Terri Seymour and pal Michael Winner. Rumor has it they’re staying at an exclusive resort, where rooms can cost anywhere from $3000 to $10,000 per night!However, it seems that Mr. Cowell is under the weather. He was spotted carrying a packet of anti-nausea/motion sickness tablets, and a bottle or Robitussin as he sauntered from the beach to his hotel room.Simon definitely buffed up for his beach escapade, but he says his conceited nature is common among high-profile celebrities. “I am vain but I cannot think of one person on TV
This week's CVTW is the godfather of TV talent shows, Simon Cowell.
Cowell made his bones as an A & R man in the notoriously unpleasant music industry, first at EMI and then later in a strong of his own labels of varying degrees of success. In the nineties he made some serious cash by successfully using other media, noticeably television tie-ins such as wrestling, Teletubbies and Power Rangers to produce hit records.
Maybe that was where the nugget came from. Or perhaps it was his time with Pete Waterman, the man who in the eighties gave us so many soap stars turned singers. Don't mock him, he gave us Kylie.
Kylie…mmmmm…. sorry went to a quiet place there.
Anyway, Simon has been there on the fringes of popular culture for a lot longer than most people realised when he shot to national fame as a member of the judging panel on Pop Idol. The idea was for an interactive talent show where the final judgement as to who won would be down to the voting public. The winner got signe
Simon Cowell reckons he doesn't need chat up lines, because he just smiles.
If someone walks up to you in a bar and just stands there smiling at you, you'd think they're a mental.
He said: "I don't need to use chat up lines. I just look at a girl and smile, and if she responds that means she's interested."
Or she's recognised you as the multimillionaire Simon Cowell. And I don't think it's the smiles that's doing it, it's the zeroes.

Is this a spoof?
I’m fairly certain that it is Simon Cowell doing this advert but he sounds like he doesn’t really give a shit about animals particularly when set against the most enthusiastic person on Earth (”Wow, animal cruelty! That’s great. I mean it’s great that it’s so terrible…” etc ) Fearne Cotton.
I realise that it is supposed to be in the X-Factor/American Idol style but, again, is it a spoof? Is it really for the RSPCA? I get the feeling it might be new, really short comedy show on E4 (you know how our attention spans are so very low now-a-days)?
If it is for the RSPCA then I say “Come on Simon, at least pretend to care about something other than money and Sinitta!”.
Prince William and Prince Harry have been offered jobs in television by Simon Cowell.
The “American Idol” judge was so impressed with the boys’ efforts in organizing Concert for Diana that he invited them to join his talent television empire as producers.
Simon Cowell, who was blown away by line-up performers, praised the princes, saying: “You have put together one heck of a show. Well done. If you ever get tired of running the country you can work for me producing TV shows.” He turned to Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson and added, “Somehow I don’t think they’ll ever take me up on my offer.”
Paul Potts just won Britain's Got Talent. Here is the audition video in Cardiff when the judges had no clue what they were about to hear. It is amazing to see even the great and jaded Cowell humbled and truly appreciative of an outstanding audition performance.Pierce's instinctive reaction when he heard "opera" is priceless. And, is it me, or did Amanda climax on camera?
“American Idol” host Ryan Seacrest says he believes judge Simon Cowell was the reason the show had low ratings last season.
When asked about the show’s drop in popularity he said, “Well, the knee-jerk reaction would be Simon,” according to a report in a website.
Ryan Seacrest thinks the audience had too much of Cowell’s rudeness. He revealed, “Clearly there’s an over saturation of his character.”
He also pointed out that the show still has high ratings but cleared speculations that bosses want to change some of the judges on the show.
He added, “That’s clearly rumor. I’m positive you can’t recreate the chemistry that we have with the group on ‘American Idol.’ ”
Hit TV show This Is Your Life has been revived, and its first victim? TV’s Mister Nasty, Simon Cowell. Last Night live on American Idol Simon was faced with the famous red book when Sir Trevor McDonald flew to LA and ambushed Simon on the hit reality show and presented him with the red book that chronicles Simon’s entire life.
It is rumoured that Cowell is the first “victim” of the revival show; however other celebrities “in the line of fire” are to be kept top-secret. Simon took it all in good sprit when Sir Trevor ambushed him as his fellow judges looked on in amazement.
Simon Cowell…This Is Your Life will be filmed on Sunday when Simon’s friends and family will be all gathered together.

Simon Cowell feels sorry for poor little rich girl Paris Hilton - MSNBCExcerpt:"“Does she deserve to go to jail? No, I don’t think so. But she’s a survivor. I’m not condoning what she did and I think she knows she made a mistake, but there’s worse things in the world and I just feel a bit sorry for her.”"http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18537949/Paris HiltonSimon CowellAlex
Paris Hilton has an unlikely defender: ornery critic Simon Cowell.
“I feel a bit sorry for Paris to be honest with you,” the American Idol judge said of the convicted drunk-driving heiress, reports WENN. “Does she deserve to go to jail? No, I don’t think so. But she’s a survivor. I’m not condoning what she did and I think she knows she made a mistake, but there’s worse things in the world and I just feel a bit sorry for her.”
He also made a suggestion, that seemed less-than-altruistic, for Hilton’s jail sentence: “She can come and stay with me for forty-five days.”

I haven’t written much in way of an update in a while and mainly it is due to anxiety and depression issues rearing their ugly heads yet again. The main effect is that I am not sleeping through the night, even if I take a sleep aid. I wake up repeatedly all night long and when my alarm goes off (all too early) I am quite simply emotionally physically and spiritually weary. Additionally I am feeling overwhelmed and overworked and pulled in a few too many directions and am moody and irritable as a result.
Mr. Grumpy (aka The PopPop aka My Dad) has been …. well …. particularly grumpy lately. GamerDude has been in a lot of pain due to coming complely off his daily pain med regimin and as of last night has developed some kind of stomach virus just for shits and giggles. MissAngst is particularly Angsty. PrincessNibbles is just fine though …. at least SOMEBODY is happy.

Jason Benesch presented me with the following article and I felt it was so timely that not only did I have to post it, but I decided to contribute some editorial as a 'second half' to the piece. Blogger Idol, Where's Simon Cowell When You Need Him?By Jason BeneschI have to come clean.I have watched every episode of American Idol this season. It's still extremely hard for those words to roll off my tongue, but I believe the first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem (so I've heard). I have never before watched a full season of American Idol. Matter of fact, I have never even seen one episode. Before the girlfriend, I was never so compelled, but I have since learned that with relationships, certain TV watching habits must change.But even before the dedication to watching every minute of this season, I knew who Simon...
The “American Idol” judge said he thought Brandy “would have been incredibly uncomfortable” attempting to appear on the show while dealing with two lawsuits over her December car crash that left a woman dead.
Cowell's co-producer, Ken Warwick, adds: "(The car crash) would have played probably on the audience's mind."
“America’s Got Talent” is currently holding auditions for the second season, which is scheduled to premiere at the end of the month on NBC.
Last week, Sanjaya's surprise appearance on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno followed hot on the heels of Jon Stewart and Aasif Mandvi's brilliant Partial-Birth Abortion skit ("America Decides") on The Daily Show about his being voted off American Idol. One was relieved to see the kid still on television, shy and charming, and free of anger as ever. And he was wise, saying he felt that he hadn't lived up to the potential Simon had seen in him, and had no hard feelings, taking the wind right out of the sails of anyone looking to pick a fight with him. He said he's not a country singer and knew he had bombed when he saw his Tuesday performance played back. Then he made a point that should not be missed. Who will win, he said, is "totally unpredictable, based on each week's performance." That is to say, there is no way to predict who will win American Idol because you don't know ahead of time what genre is next on the calendar.Clearly, many people have picked up on the perpetually and

I wasn’t the only one who caught Simon rolling his eyes last night after Chris Richardson did a shout out to all of his friends at Virginia Tech. Now Simon tells TMZ:
“I couldn’t hear what Chris had said. I was talking to Paula. My reaction (rolling my eyes) was to what he had said previously, that singing nasally is a form of singing.”
Okay Simon, I believe you….this time.
You can watch the video clip from last night here.

So who's going home today on American Idol? Wait.. let me rephrase that question, who's NOT going home today? Sanjaya? Obviously there aren't enough Sanjaya haters, which is why he's still on the show.
Simon Cowel has been recently complementing Sanjaya Malakar's performaces. Last night Simon actually said that Sanjaya was "not horrible". Simon's probably just gave up on the show. Last night he told Haley Scarnato that clearly the show is no longer about how you sing it's about how you look–He was talking about her short shorts she was wearing. You gotta love this guy, he tells it like it is.
There have been theories about why Sanjaya is still on the show.. the dumbest one I've heard was that people from India were all voting for him. There is a thing called a time zone difference you dumb-asses. I think Howard Stern's "Vote for the worst" campaign has a lot to do with why Sanjaya is still in the show. Not everyone
"The music mogul admits he was offered the cash by a kinky, rich guy to watch him have sex with his wife, and now wishes he’d taken up the offer. Cowell says, “He wanted me to come to his house and comment on him and his wife in bed. He was going to pay me $100,000 for it.“I stupidly turned it down… It would have been a much more interesting story now.”
…if Sanjaya Malakar becomes the next American Idol winner. Yup…that’s what Starpulse.com is reporting. Evidently Simon feels the same way most of America does…shocked that Sanjaya Malakar was able to eek his way into the coveted Top 12 over fan favorite Sundance Head.
From the lips of the Brit himself:
“He’s not going to win. I won’t be back if he does!”
This should be an interesting next 12 weeks!!

Simon Cowell talks about the sex scandal surrounding Antonella Barba but as we all know most of the idols have some scandal or gossip to be talked about. All normal and celebrity people have dark secrets or naughty things in the past they have done, it makes them real.

He hadn't done any of the Pop Idol stuff."When I walked in and played my song, he said, 'You've got a good voice but your songwriting... you may as well not bother.'" Despite the knockback, Mika did not give up on his pop dreams, and instead has used the put-down to spur him on.He says, "Honesty is a good policy. That's how you've got to survive. Rub your hands together and start again."
