Simon Cowell has reportedly said that he plans to get himself frozen when he dies so that he can be brought back to life at a later time, no doubt in order to benefit a new generation of box-gogglers with an endless series of music reality shows.
It's claimed he told fellow guests at a dinner held by PM Gordon Brown: "I have decided to freeze myself when I die. You know, cryonics. You pay a lot of money and you get stuck in a deep freeze once you've been declared dead. Medical science is bound to work out a way of bringing us back to life in the next century or so, and I want to be available when they do. I would be doing the nation an invaluable service".
