Simon
Cowell Blasts Rehabbing Britney Spears and Robbie Williams 3/5/07
Music mogul Simon Cowell has blasted troubled stars Britney Spears and
Robbie Williams for checking into rehab, insisting they have no idea of
what hard life really is.
The American
Idol judge recently visited an impoverished nation and after
witnessing the horrific conditions people were forced to live in, he
believes Spears and Williams' problems pale in comparison.
Spears is currently in Promises in Malibu, California following months
of hard-drinking and partying, while Williams is seeking treatment for an
addiction to painkillers at The Meadows clinic in Arizona.
Cowell says, "This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and
Robbie need to get a grip.
"I don't know what's going on in Britney's head but my attitude is
I couldn't care less. She should go back and live with her mum for six
months.
"I went to a deprived part of the world recently... It really
opened my eyes.
You can feel sorry for yourself over the smallest things, but then you
look at the world and you think, 'I've got nothing to complain about.'
"So when I hear about the Robbies and the Britneys going to into
rehab, I think, 'I'll tell you what rehab is. Go to where I just went,
where people are really suffering and then you'll see just how good your
life is.'
"I mean Britney is not working in a coal mine is she? You are
whisked to the studio in a very large limo, you are flown around in
private jet, everyone will agree with you and physically making an album
is a doddle."
