Absolutely Dreadful

TMZ is reporting that American Idol judge Simon Cowell claims he wasn't rolling his eyes in response to contestant Chris Richardson's offering condolences to Virginia Tech victims and their families last night. They even have the video up. The show is now in full damage control mode.

We all know he's full of it. Simon's made snarky remarks about contestants wishing happy birthday to their moms and referencing other personal events for sympathy votes. The producers probably told him what was up during the break (that he was busted on live T.V.) and gave him an opportunity to correct his error later on...completely out of context after Blake Lewis performed!

Simon should follow his own advice: Be aware of the camera. Even in this picture, he looks like he's pointing and smiling at the Council blocking a childcare plan and not at his photo. Did the newspaper put his photo underneath the story to set him up? Maybe last night's eyeroll was a similar set up! Perhaps for all of his Sanjaya hate! The plot thickens...especially if Sanjaya gets voted off tonight!
