Cowell offers sympathy to rehabbing celebs

Simon Cowell has told off Britney Spears and Robbie Williams over their rehab stints, saying they should visit deprived parts of the world instead.

Now, here's an idea for a new TV show, Celeb Rehab - exhausted and emotionally sensitive celebs pour out their hearts to Simon Cowell, who in return gives said celeb an unsympathetic talking to. I'd watch it.

As an insight, here's Cowell's response to Britney Spears and Robbie Williams' recent attempts at rehab: "This whole thing is a total indulgence. Britney and Robbie need to get a grip. 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'".

Actually Caro reckons a celeb rehab show is in the pipeline though, fortuitously for participating celebs, Cowell is not involved.
