Simon Cowell's Undershirts.



Bravo to Mr. Adams for some great posts. I, unfortunately, do not have his kind of time, but I do have a couple of cents I'd like to toss into the ring. What the hell is with Simon and his white undershirts?

The guy makes a $36 million salary for Idol for about 45 hours work. Doing the math, that's $800,000/hour - which is, by the way, over 12 times Howard Stern's hourly rate of $60,000. (Howard earns $50 million per year/168 shows = $300,000 per show or $60,000 per hour). So, certainly Simon can afford to shell out the $50 that Brooks Brothers charges for plain white tees or the $20 that L.L. Bean charges? So why, oh why, does Simon toss on Fruit of the Loom and parade himself on national tv? The guy must by Scottish.

And I thought your Idol posts were awful. Congratulations on a new low.
