According to the Sun, Simon Cowell has said he rarely listens to music for pleasure, which doesn't surprise me - given how much Westlife he's probably listened to over the years, I think I'd have been put off music for life also. The tabloid says Cowell says he goes "weeks and weeks without listening to music for pleasure", adding: "If you work at a fish and chip shop, it's unlikely you're going to eat fish and chips at night. The idea of sitting in an audition room for 14 hours then putting on my iPod - it's like, 'No! I can't do it!'"
