Simon
Cowell Infuriates Photographers With No-Show
12/16/07
American Idol judge Simon Cowell has angered publicists at TV network
Fox after he refused to take part in a contractual photo shoot in London.
The acid-tongued star was due to have publicity shots taken in Los
Angeles for the series, but insisted upon staying in London, where he is
filming British TV talent show The
X Factor.
Fox flew a group of photographers, publicists and crew from the U.S. to
the British capital, spending $50,000 on the excursion, only for Cowell to
miss the shoot "due to illness.
But the group involved is "pissed off" by the star's no-show,
as they failed to get the necessary publicity shots, reports TMZ.
A representative for Cowell says, "He was a little under the
weather, but thankfully he's feeling better."
