How often do you see Simon Cowell cry?
Simon Cowell worked as a mail boy at EMI and eventually worked his way to become an A&R representative. Says that the first time he gave a criticism was at age four when he looked at his mother’s white fuzzy pillbox hat and remarked “Mum, you look like a poodle” [Source: His book “I Don’t Mean to Be Rude, But…”]
During an audition, a female participant told Simon and the other judges that she quit her job at a hair salon so she can pursue her dreams on American Idol (2002); when getting rejected, Simon had asked for the phone and called the owner of the workplace where the rejected contestant got her job back.
