Simon Cowell hated himself

After viewing the clip in which Susan Boyle was launched into the public spotlight Simon Cowell has admitted he hated watching himself

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey he said that the moment Susan appeared on Britain’s Got Talent it was the necessary wake up call that he needed.

Speaking about his own big ego, he commented that it often got in the way of finding new talent

“When I watched the clip back, I actually hated myself. We’re all sneering, we’re not listening. I didn’t like what I saw. It was a wake-up call, and I was happy she made us look stupid, because we deserved it.”

Simon also went on to say that the reason he wants to launch The X Factor in America is because he enjoys “the buzz” – nothing to do with the big fat pay checks then Simon huh?

“I remember Fantasia singing ‘Summertime’ on American Idol, and for three minutes, I lost myself,” he said. “You want to be part of something people are talking about. I love that feeling.”

Susan Boyle Security Scare

Susan Boyle is going to step up security at her home in Scotland after the amazing singer was disturbed by intruders in her garden as she enjoyed her Christmas break.
Susan spotted two people creeping around her back garden late in the  night – luckily they fled when she opened the curtains.

Her elder brother Gerry is now trying to urge her to consider moving to a more secure area.
He says, “I hate to think what might have happened if they had broken into the house when she was on her own. They could have had knives on them or anything. “Susan rang me to tell me she’d had intruders like it was an everyday occurrence.

“She hadn’t mentioned the incident to anyone or even reported it to the police. When she casually dropped it into the conversation I was really shocked. This can’t go on any longer. She now has to realise that living in this small house is no longer suitable and more importantly not safe for her”.
Meanwhile, concerned sibling Gerry insists there is nothing in his sister’s home that’s worth taking and that Susan has installed a panic alarm that connects her straight to the local police. This incident comes after Simon Cowell hired security guards for the singer in November

He adds, “At present she has not seen a penny of her fortune but knows it will soon be coming her way. The problem is she can’t get her head round the extreme wealth that is coming and the implications for her future. “People will think because she is about to become very rich she will have all kinds of valuables scattered around the house.

Security around Susan Boyle has be increased by Simon Cowell due to fears about a crazy fan who has become “obsessed” with the Britain‘s Got Talent star.

Susan has been inundated by letters from an crazed American woman who has even turned up at Susan’s home in Scotland.

“Simon is not taking any chances,” a source told The Sun. “This woman is constantly following Susan around the world. It is a middle-aged American woman who has become obsessed with her.

“At first, people thought it was no more than a nuisance. But after what happened to Leona Lewis, who was punched at a recent book signing, everyone is taking extra precautions.”
