Simon Cowell makes sense sometimes…
Posted on March 8, 2007
ha ha, Simon Says…
Anyway, Simon is calling out Britney Spears and Robbie Williams… calling them straight punks, cause they don’t know what real problems are:
This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and Robbie need to get a grip. We’ve allowed these people to feel sorry for themselves. I don’t know what’s going on in Britney’s head but my attitude is I couldn’t care less. She should go back and live with her mum for six months.”
The acerbic Idol judge suggested that the pair spend time in impoverished nations to gain a little perspective.
“I went to a deprived part of the world recently and saw a set of conditions that people live in that are beyond belief,” says Cowell.
“So when I hear about the Robbies and the Britneys going into rehab I think, ‘I’ll tell you what rehab is. Go to where I just went, where people really are suffering and then you’ll see just how good your life is.’”
While I do has some sort of sympathy for people who go to rehab, I does seem like “rehab” has become the buzzword for the last few months and is a way for celebs to, I guess “prove” that they are committed to getting better?
But with the rate that people celebs are entering and exiting rehab and not really seeming to make those needed life changes, i.e. Robbie Williams going to a bar right after getting out of rehab, it just makes it look like it’s a joke…
maybe Simon is right… rehab should be getting sent to an impoverished section of Asia or Africa, without the $30,000 per month rehab facilities… on the other hand, that might make you want to drink more…
