IT turns out that SIMON COWELL hasn’t always been the Mr Nasty of pop. In a recent interview the X Factor creator told how he has always regretted not speaking out and putting an end to EDDIE MURPHY’S pop dreams. Simon was hired to help the love rat hit the high notes in the early 1980s and, in hindsight, wishes he had the nerve back then to tell the Beverly Hills Cop star he was terrible. The American Idol judge, who is famous for letting wannabes know exactly what he thinks on reality TV talent shows, was not quite as honest with Eddie. Simon says: "He was interested in making a record, so I flew to the east coast (of America), to his huge house, and I was very intimidated. "I thought it would be just the two of us and a hi-fi. But I ended up in a recording studio with about 20 nodders – a nodder is someone who gets paid to agree with the person paying him. "Eddie started to play some songs, which I hated, and I just didn’t know what to say. "Now I’d find it a lot easier. I would just say ‘I hate it’."

You know how Paula Abdul always jokes on American Idol that Simon stuffs his shirt, well now we know he doesn’t. I don’t know about you, but I liked it better when I didn’t know they were real…ewww.

Simon Cowell dashed to his mother’s hospital bedside after she was struck by a car. The TV star’s mother, Julie Cowell, 80, was left badly injured when the vehicle reversed into her. The former dancer has a suspected broken hip and could face a hip replacement operation following Friday’s accident. Cowell’s mother telephoned him after the incident and he went straight to her hospital bedside. He stayed there the next day, watching X Factor with her before flying to the US to start filming a new series of American Idol. Cowell’s publicist Max Clifford said: "She’s a very sprightly 80-year-old. She still goes to aerobics every week so she’s very fit." Cowell told The Sun newspaper: "When I heard, I was worried to death. But she is as strong as an ox and her attitude was a bit like, ‘What’s all the fuss about?’ "I was obviously relieved she is fine and already planning her 100th birthday party."

I hope she gets better soon, but sounds like she is a real fighter still doing aerobics at 80.
