The shoes. Simon Cowell was working out some Tom Cruise leather lifts upon arrival at the X Factor auditions in London today. All he wears are ratty t-shirts to show off a rather mediocre chest but he cares enough for a pair of heels so that they won’t think he’s too short...?

Height and hair, men get weird about height and hair. Tell a male enemy that his hair is thinning and it’ll take him longer to get over it than if he retorts that you’re fat. Promise.

X Factor as you know is a big deal in England and they’re bringing it to America next season. Right now though, supposedly because of national fixation on the World Cup, they’re worried participants will be lower than in past years. Apparently organisers are trying to recruit more attendees by appealing to the Cheryl Cole Ashley Cole cheating drama, challenging citizens to forgo support for Ashley on Wednesday and cheer on Cheryl instead.
