'Option 2) please. But can we make Cowell all 100 of those soon to be deaded celebrities each and every week?'
Not so quick. I am surprised to find myself defending Simon Cowell, who I find repugnant as any decent person should, but (not that I watch much telly) I saw him on some pop music programme recently reveal, in the space of about four sentences, *exactly* how the commercial pop music business works, and by implication his part in it. No bullshit. It was extraordinary, and ought to be required viewing for all who dream of pop music celebrity.
