To think that Simon Cowell is actually a bit of a tosser?

Just that really. I used to really like him, but over the past few years I've really started going off him. I think he's an epic megalomaniac who doesn't treat people very well, when he gets bored of them or they stop making him money he tosses them onto the scrap heap.

He also looked completely ridiculous at the Brit awards when he got up to accept an award on behalf of One Direction. Like some old relic from days gone by.

Oh and why do you never read negative stories about him in the press? He apparently gets another mans wife pregnant and we're supposed to congratulate him for it? Can you imagine if the boot was on the other foot?

I just him really obnoxious now.

I read the Brookstein book and it's true to say he wasn't treated well by Syco. But, by the same token, Steve came across as a right whinger and a tad paranoid. Neither of them came out of that affair covered in glory.

Ah I've found this article which covers the Jacqui St Clair and Sinitta incident. Steve Brookstein doesn't come across very well here, either.

Yeah I agree that neither of them came outof it particularly well, but I do completely believe what Brookstein says - I don't think he played the syco game and Cowell didn't like that. Added to it the max Clifford connection and if you did anything to piss off Cowell, you'll never come out of it well

Oh I believe him. I just don't think he cam across well in that interview but he is probably still very bitter.

QueenBean · 29/03/2015 22:07

Absolutely! He also doesn't have the benefit of loads of media training either

Koalafications · 29/03/2015 22:32

Who is representing SC now that MC is in prison?

Koalafications · 29/03/2015 22:32

Oh and I completley agree re: Media training. SC will also have friends in high places who won't sell him out for SB.

Have had a look at the Beard Club twitter feed now and I can't cope either. 80% of the celebrity world is gay in their estimation. In fact they'll soon have to start insisting that Elton John is straight to maintain the shock value.

Yeah I've just had a look at the beard club twitter and it is ridiculous! Although I absolutely do believe some of them, I think some are nonsense (frank lamprard and christine bleakley for eg)

It is saying that paul McKenna and simon cowell are getting it awwwwn though which is pretty funny!

That beard club twitter page is a load of rubbish.
