  On October 7th 1959 a strange bright light appeared over the town of Brighton. A throng of celebrities and music mystics made the journey on camels from far flung places to witness the birth of the child his mother had already dubbed, The Nasty One...Several years later, his brother Tony found what appeared to be a diary tucked under the mattress of the bed in the old room that they shared, back at their mum's house. Then, not long ago, in an abandoned green room somewhere in the studios of ITV, he came across more recent journals wrapped in an old M&S bag with a grey v-neck jumper. The handwriting had hardly changed! He felt he owed it to his brother's adoring public to release as many embarrassing nuggets of Simon's misadventures as the laws of libel would allow. So, welcome to Cowellworld! Here, at last, are revealed the 'inner machinations' of one of the world's sexiest, wealthiest and most outspoken of men, including his first black t-shirt, his earliest dreams, discovery of the Guinness Book of Hit Singles, his first girlfriend, his plans to take over the music industry and make TV shows that were about real people and not Daleks. The Secret Diary of Simon Cowell includes previously unpublished secrets of this media star, millionaire and possibly most insensitive man on the planet, including his (censored!) thoughts on Sharon and his other fellow panelists on the X Factor and American Idol. Tony Cowell is a former journalist and literary agent who has written several books, including I hate to be rude but...the Simon Cowell book of nasty comments and Is it me or is everyone famous?
