Can't get enough of Simon Cowell? Oh, you know who you are. The famously forthright judge of "American Idol" isn't to everyone's taste, but we think he generally just says what everyone else is thinking. And given the rigors of showbiz, some astringency early on probably has salutary effects.
Anyway, if you're in the pro-Simon camp, here are three videos to supplement your AI meals. The first is of a very young Cowell appearing as a contestant on the British version of the game show "Sale of the Century." Watch it here. The next short video is of an utterly surprised Simon getting tapped for "This is Your Life." Finally, watch this video of a British gran fighting back. It'll make your day.
